They may well have been told that behind the scenes, but at the meeting the PDCA board said that no decision had been made yet.
I'm just passing on what we were told.

Why was it rejected?

These applications are accepted / rejected by a vote from the clubs, so no reasons need to be given by each club who voted to reject it.
There were a couple comments about whether they would be able to field a team at the end of the year due to football commitments, but not much else.
There was no one from EP Seniors there to respond to the comments which probably didn't help.
In recent years PDCA have been happy to accept clubs that are based further south, so to knock back a club that is in it's traditional area is a surprise.

At very least if EP were serious about it a representative should have been there

be interesting to see if the clubs change their mind and let them in, not sure what grade they think they'll be in.

Southern Cricket Association knocked a couple of clubs back from memory. Then several years later a couple of their clubs headed south or north and they folded.

Probably because last season the other clubs felt that EPFCC held the PDCA to ransom until the 11th hour and then pulled out their senior sides.

There are many clubs that don't like Eastern Park as they are pretty chirpy. I personally love the onfield banter followed by the beers afterwards.

I guess other clubs like the idea of a bunch of very talented young lads are on the market.

Throw in the fact Eastern Park has been an administration rabble for the last 5 years, not completing my cricket, forfeiting finals, pulling out teams mid season, not supplying umpires once out the finals in lower grades etc

The club itself doesn't even want cricket there so why should the para districts clubs want them there
