Anybody know whats going on with the 3rd grade Div 2 grand final? I see on the CAW website today that Lavington is playing TBA? In the paper yesterday they were playing North Albury weren't they?
Have North Albury finally been caught for doing something shonky, instead of things being swept under the carpet?
I'm led to believe that they have 'allegedly' played an ineligible player on the weekend, and the game has been given to Tallangatta.
From what I understand stoke_em you are correct. That is what Lavington's 3rd Grade Div 2 side were told at training on Tuesday night.I'm led to believe that they have 'allegedly' played an ineligible player on the weekend, and the game has been given to Tallangatta.
I find it really hard to believe that a bloke who is captain of his club would be thinking about leaving when they're in the middle of a finals campaign.
It's amazing the crap people make up on this site.
Make up this crap? I said I didn't believe he would leave the club during the season, but today he did step down as captain from Lavington.......
I see that Mt Beauty are playing the C Grade Div 3 final, after losing the semi to Barny! Barny's forfeit was known before the end of the home/away season yet they still went ahead with the campaign, this as well as taking a swipe at the Association and another club over ground conditions - has anyone here SEEN their ground and "wicket"?
I'm thinking of a sure fire way of eliminating the bye from District next year........
Im lead to believe that it didnt matter if they forfeited or not as it appears that a few players that played were not even registered at the club and they also played up to 4 players who didnt qualify for finals throughout thier finals campaign.
Could you elaborate more RUMPIG on how to eliminate the bye in District!!!!!
While I do not have the knowledge about what is happening at Barnawartha Chiltern Chiltern Cricket club to be able to agree with everything that RumPig has written, I certainly agree that they have show disrespect to those they have played against and the association. They must have known for some time that there would be a clash between the CAW grand finals and TDFL's Round 1 games and to make the decision to play in Round 1 of the Footy instead of playing in a cricket grand final does show disrespect to those they played against those they played against and CAW. You can not blame the TDFL for this happening , the players not the TDFL would have had to make the final decision to either forfeit Round 1 of the footy or the cricket Grand Final, obviously they have decided that the footy is more important, so they are showing disrespect for the sport of cricket.RumPig know the facts before shooting your mouth off, the Barnawartha Chiltern Cricket Club is in great shape and a lot of people (past and current) have put in some hard work for this to happen...
They haven't played on synthetic for 2 seasons at an added cost to the club and have a turf wicket in ready to go for next season.
The ground is in excellent condition and the facilities are getting a $1 Million plus upgrade in the next 12 - 24 months.
The Barnawartha Cricket Ground will be one of the finest cricket grounds in the competition in years to come and you may freely quote me on that.
Their A grade side averaged 5/6 players a week under 20, the B grade side reguarly had 7 players 16 or under playing each week and have some very good junior players in their ranks. Most clubs would love to be in that position. On top of that they have more than 6 past recent junior players currently playing at Provincial clubs and were without the services of the likes of Mark Doolan and Chris Dishot this season.
All sounds pretty positive from where I sit, a lot of hard work still ahead but the momentum is heading strongly in the right direction.
As for the C grade situation again get all the facts before giving an uneducated opinion.. This isn't a club issue or a CAW issue it is a TDFL issue, which steps have already been taken so this does not happen again. Spare a thought for the 11 guys who could not play in what we all play or played sports for and which some may never have the chance to play in one again and for some maybe their only chance... a GRAND FINAL...
And on a personal note... If you want to make such comments don't hide behind a user name, be man enough to disclose who you are.. But I am sure you want do that and we will all have our opinions why...

The idea of eliminating the bye basically revolves around cutting a certain club whose house and ground is sorely out of order, and has been for some time. The C Grade situation is completely disrespectful to all those they competed against as well as the association and the club's attitude towards this leaves a hell of a lot to be desired. The syntho wicket situation has been allowed to go on for far too long (Eskdale back in the comp 6 months and get a turf deck up!)
If the comp was divisional, there wouldnt be a bye and yes, byes in 2 day cricket arent too popular!
The forum is yours to own now, Sir Don. Congratulations and be gentle with them.So, Bulldogs into a Grand Final. And without Robbie making any runs. Wonder if anyone's going to start giving us any credit now? Probably not. That's ok, one more to go.
Congratulations to Wodonga. And great to see young Beattie (and not Jackson) made all the runs. Well done Bulldogs. Lavi won B grade aftera fairly spiteful encounter against North Albury and I believe St Pats reclaimed the 3rd grade crown in Div 1, while Bushies won the Div 2 one day comp.The forum is yours to own now, Sir Don. Congratulations and be gentle with them.
I agree RumPig.Congratulations To all Grand Finals teams and winners - especially Mt Beauty and Yack for a thrilling game a gutsy win for the Power, great entertainment. Good to catch up with some friends from other teams and good to see a lot of people getting out to various grounds on a perfect weekend for cricket. It certainly looked like a lot of effort was put into wickets and grounds to make the granny's a spectacle - curators can be proud of the efforts put in. Interesting conversations had about various topics throughout the season - a lot of great ideas floating around and hopefully coming to fruition before next season. Not all doom and gloom out there, a positive end to an eventful season. Look forward to renewing old acquaintances next season
I agree RumPig.
While I haven't seen the results from the C Grade Div 3 Grand Final, it appears that there was no dominant club, with no club managing more than 1 premiership.
The forum is yours to own now, Sir Don. Congratulations and be gentle with them.
without Robbie Jackson your team has nothing to fall back on and every single 1st grade Team moving to finals in know's it and we can't wait to play you guys if you survive week one. Two games running with Wodonga it is very clear to see that without Robbie firing you've got nothing in the shed. My apologies for spilling the truth on Big Cricket but its appears that you have crickets equivalent of 'beer goggles' on and think you are a little better than you are. You will make finals and get booted out quick smart, that's inevitable..
Quit kidding yourself it's getting embarrassing. Without Robbie firing the facts have it that you crumble, deal with it or step up and make a contribution.
It appears to me that old LTG has hit a raw nerve, however it is the truth, unless someone else removes themselves from under Jackson coat tails the club will only be making up the numbers come finals.
