Fitzroy defeated Paralowie A Grade on forfeit...

Woke up saturday morning to find we only had 5 players in the a grade and playing away in 40 degree heat. Our Captain, 4 a grade players and the Cricket director are all overseas atm and we werent left with any phone numbers so we couldnt get hold of anyone associated in our b grade to come up and play. There was no training tuesday either so there was no way I could get in contact with any b graders. So we had to ring up the Roys and the league to inform them that we just wouldnt be able to field an a grade team. There was no chance in hell after last week (fielding all day with 8 or 9 players) that the 5 of us were willing to travel out to roys and make do with a couple of fill ins.

That is very disappointing that in a club with 4 teams, nobody from any other team could be contacted!

As a result all Paralowie teams will receive zero points from this round according to the rules. (unless other arrangements with Fitzroy/the Association have been made that I haven't heard about yet - such as playing a one-day game next weekend)

Results from Saturday are now on the website.

We make it compulsory for all players to report to our club at noon on gameday to avoid any of this sort of problem and to carpool.

How do you forfiet your A grade. Dose that mean all their other teams forfiet too.

Not sure how you get away with that.

that should be the rule, although NEK B grade lost a gf 2 seasons ago (due to heat rule) but also due to Betania A's forfeiting their semi but their B's still played and won, making the GF and being higher on the ladder in the regular season, The exec's reason: they didn't feel Enfield deserved to be in the GF

it will be interesting to see if Paralowie's B grade will lose points this round due to their A's forfeiting. this will also affect our B's as we play Paralowie B's this round

No, the exec were simply applying the rules as they stood at the time.

sorry but the rules were the same as now except for some rubbish about the ultimate decision being up to the discretion of the executive (meaning the exec could ultimately do whatever they wanted, in this case overiding the initial rule).

probably a good thing that Paralowie forfieted, the amout of alcohol they drink during a game someone could have died on sat..........

Ted, your an idiot.

There has only been 1 carton bought per week. So it works out like this. 15 (total of people having a beer, usually a couple of watchers) divided by 34 (cans). 2 cans each over 6 hours? Jeez mate, if that is classed as too much, im it for chasey.

Not a bad idea LM, but with us, no one is awake or home by 12 haha

sure thats not alot, but i'm sure i'm pritty sure under the rules you are not supposed to drink any alcohol at all.
i know when we played you i overheard one of your guys saying that he had already had 6 cans. i know maths is not your strong point but i doubt that you only ever bring one carton!

That proves your an idiot. There has never ever been more than 1 carton bought on a saturday. Never. I was fielding next to the lad that said he had 6 beers and when he said that it was a bit of a laugh we were having. He never actually had 6 beers. And in all seriousness, why would it bother you? You won. Were playing amateur cricket here and if having a cpl of beers when it was 37-38 degrees while been in the field all day is wrong, we wont have a team for the rest of the year.

Go throughout the whole league and see how many teams have a beer during the day.

hey Ecky, good news, i found that recording i mentioned yesterday so for anyone who would like to listen to Ian speaking on behalf of the exec about, how did you put it? "applying the rules as they stood at the time" (unless the exec agrees otherwise pfft!!! let me know.

Hey Pistol,

Has Ian's Lawyer from Wallmans contacted you yet?. I think you may find that is highly illegal unless you are using it for training purposes. You may need to take it out to your next net session to state it was used for training purposes!

Who cares if they drink? Geez it doesnt affect your side or the way your team plays, they not getting violent and its only social cricket anyway.

Besides its more community cricket now and not as much churches. Really look at Div 1.. NEK, Paralowie, Fitzroy all clubs from a non church background..

Seriously need to adapt to the change, the competition has changed immensely over the past few years, it doesnt have that strong church presence anymore..

it is for training purposes, we are using it as motivation to train harder and perform better on field

agree with you 100%
change the rule.
i'm not against having a few beers at cricket, In fact i'd love to myself.

Player safety should always be no. 1 priority for any team. when i hear that someone has
had 6 beers in the field, and its 38 degrees then its a worry.
Would just hate for something to happen that is prevetable.
I'm sure that the insurance we have to have would be void also if alcohol was involved. Not sure though
I have nothing against your team no. 3 infact our games are always played in good spirit. Just a shame that with your recent forfiet then its going to be near impossible for you guys to make finals so early in the season

sure thats not alot, but i'm sure i'm pritty sure under the rules you are not supposed to drink any alcohol at all.

this association is much, much stronger since the ind. central teams joined a few years ago now.
What it does need though is a few of you guys on the exec. It also needs more members that are still playing.
Currently, according to the program we have 7 exec. members. Only 3 are still playing ( not sure about M. Johns )
and there is no one from the old ind. central on the exec.
You guys have are a wealth of knowledge on the game and would bring a different view on matters that concern the running of the ass. I'm sure that some teams/clubs still have very much a "you" and "us" view on our association but this is not the case- its as much your association as it is ours. You never know, it might even encourage a few more guys to play representative cricket.
If you add mills, balding, a fully fit Giggs to our current rep. side then you would see a dramatic change in the performance of the team.
