    Barclay Shield 2025/26

    Fascinating season thus far. Clearly Rosebank will be relegated. Who are the other 2 teams to go down with them? Fixture gets interesting… North Eltham - DC, Bundoora, Epping & Rosanna to finish and being 3 points behind are in serious trouble in my view. Macleod - Rosanna, Epping, BU and DC...

    Barclay Shield 2025/26

    It’s an all rounders game at the local level these days. Teams trying to carry a “bottom” 2 or 3 that can only do 1 discipline are found out more often than not.

    Some good matches on this weekend to see where some teams are at Rosanna vs Heidelberg Bundoora vs NEW Epping vs Macleod Rosebank vs Diamond Creek Riverside vs Bundoora United

    Barclay Shield 2025/26

    Very interesting weekend of cricket. Some huge 80 over scores. Terrific to see all teams batted 80 overs. It’s been a while since that has happened. Rosebank chase down in the last couple of overs. Rosanna to win by 50+ runs Riverside to win by 100+ runs Bundoora to win by 50+ runs Macleod to...

    Barclay Shield 2025/26

    2 sides finished in the bottom 3 last year and Epping seemingly have no depth.

    Who is playing at the flats this season?

    Money Shield 2024/25

    Is the points system still in place for DVCA? Would be the interesting leveller if it is.

    Money Shield 2024/25

    without slandering the club because their success is prevalent. A lot of those 20+ guys were uncompetitive in Barclays 12 months ago. So those juniors playing in the 2s will need to be very good or it could be an up and down situation for Rosebank. Especially if it is the bottom 3 sides that get...

    Money Shield 2024/25

    That is a fair point - but how often does it actually happen. Looking like some kids also played seniors as well this year for Rosebank. Premierships don’t grow on trees.

    MASH SHIELD 2023/24

    Congratulations to Mernda. Absolutely stunning victory. Rivergum welcome to the DVCA - much tougher competition on this side of the tracks. Looking forward to seeing this young Mernda team in money shield next year

    Money Shield 2024/25

    well done to Rosebank. 3/4 years in DVCA with premierships. Back up to Barclay. Would think they will need to recruit to compete but back in the top grade in emphatic style. Not sure where to for Eltham. Just can’t seem to get it done. Great season from their bats.

    Barclay Shield 2024/25

    Congratulations to Rosanna. We’re top or near to top all season. Amazing effort. Consistency is the best cricket to play. Bundoora can only look at themselves for this loss. Not sure what Taggar was trying to achieve when he went out. Probably ended the match there and then.

    Are any of the Grade grand finals being completed this weekend or were they all washed out?

    Barclay Shield 2024/25

    Rosanna 20-30 runs short I think. Rosebank will defend 201 easily. Dilshan & Reid with another big partnership this week.

    MASH SHIELD 2023/24

    Rivergum quite comfortably. Too good for the grade and too much depth. Perri for the medal.

    Money Shield 2024/25

    Rosebank to win Money. Sampimon to win the medal. Years and Years of experience at Rosebank to be the difference

    Barclay Shield 2024/25

    My tip is Rosanna to win. Too many bowling options. I think this will be the difference. Bourke to win the medal. One for all us keepers out there.

    Barclay Shield 2024/25

    From memory the lost overs would be made up on the Sunday. Then the game completed on the second Saturday.
