Re: Footscray Cricket Association

Went for a walk to Mc Ivor Reserve in yarraville the other day. Went past Footscray City c.c & Wembley F.C old Club rooms. Seen its empty. I beleive a church side did use it couple of years ago. Seems the rooms have layed empty since. I know they need some major work. Wonder why it hasnt been used by anyone.
 
Re: Footscray Cricket Association

Which former FCA clubs were the strongest?, Most hated?, Most Liked?

For the time l played in the FCA:

Strongest club: BUCKS in the later part of the comp, & Tottenham when Balcam was there.

Most Hated: BUCKS, always gave you a good sledge or two....

Most Like: Always enjoyed playing Against Balmoral, also had time for a couple of guys from the enemy camp Bucks. Incidently we picked up one of their x gun players this season. Did very well in our first.
 
Re: Footscray Cricket Association

Are there any guys on here who played for former Footscray Cricket Association clubs, BUCKS and Laurel?

Bucks folded back in 1999/00 and l beleive Laurel folded back in 1995/96.

FOOTSCRAY CRICKET ASSOCIATION 75TH ANNIVERSAY REUNION
SUNDAY 4TH MARCH 2007 ANGLISS RESERVE 12 NOON


The Footscray ANA Cricket club, formed in 1931-32, will celebrate its 75th anniversary on Sunday 4th March 2007 with a players' reunion. This will be held at Angliss Reserve beginning at 12 noon and ending at 6pm. A barbecue lunch, an open canteen and bar facilities will be available.

The event will also coincide with the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Footscray Cricket Association which also began in 1931-32. Former players and officials from all FCA clubs are invited to attend and swap stories with friends and 'foes' alike. People are encouraged to bring along any items of memorabilia. Please pass on this information to others.

The highlight of the day will be a Twenty20 match played between a team of retired ANA players up against a team of retired FCA players. Len Balcam, the former Victorian and Queensland state representative, has said he'll play. The game is scheduled to start at 1pm.

Closing speeches will be held at 5pm. For details please contact Graeme Hodgart on 9311-155 or email him at ghodgart@optusnet.com.au

Laurel folded in 99 after going to the Sunshine comp then Willi comp. Bucks folded the year that the F.C.A folded maybe 95. A.N.A and yarra club only clubs still going i think.

Actually both Laurel and Bucks crossed over to the Sunshine comp in 1996/1997 as the last season of FCA was 1995/1996. The sunshine comp folded after season 1998/1999. The only team to cross over to the Willi comp the following season from the old FCA clubs was ANA. Laurel & Bucks both folded when the SCA Folded. Just confirmed with Laurel honuor boards as its currently in the old FCA rooms.

Yarraville Club crossed over to the VTCA a couple a seasons before the FCA folded.

I crossed over from Footscray City when they folded to Footscray ANA in the early 1990's. Still playing at ANA and coaching the under 15 side.

Are you playing for anyone?
 
Re: Footscray Cricket Association

Former West Footscray (FCA) player Nick Kotoski has dusted his whites out and is having a trundel down at Footscray ANA B Turf side. Done well in his 2 games so far with the bowl, still hasnt had a chance with the Bat yet. May see some big hitting this week against the colts. Battle of the sixes between Milko Cjepa and Nick Kotoski.
 
Re: Footscray Cricket Association

I've heard a lot about this Harrsion character lately..
doesnt seem to have too many fans..

Re: Footscray Cricket Association

You can bet your bottom dollar C Face...and DOLLAR being the operative word if you get my drift.The bloke is shameless and it's rumoured that a few clubs he raped have had to fold as a result.
 
Re: Footscray Cricket Association

its true. I used to play for Crackatinny in the A.B. Leauge. We folded after that Harrison bloke gambled all our money on a table tennis game. where he lost to a player with a stronger back hand. all thats left of the club is a weathered score board that has the writing JK schooled DH.
sad story. now im playing for a stronger club that doesnt allow sneaky cats like Harrison.

Why do clubs continue to chase him though. Surely you like to have harmony around any club and a guy like this does not bring that
