Its a shame, you will never get 2 day cricket back now as i assume it will need 2/3rds majority.
The next thing they will want is no cricket in January. The ones that dont commit to two day cricket still wont commit to one day cricket on a weekly basis.
What are junior numbers like?
It would require a 2/3rds majority to change back to 2 day cricket but that is certainly not out of the question, It changed once, it can be changed back.
I think 2/3rd is a bit more than a squeeky wheel, it is a clear majority of the 13 member clubs. My club plays in the A Grade comp and in fact voted against the motion, but we have moved on and accept the vote, happy to give the one day format a go and if it is crap, then we will propose a motion to change it back.
Im not really involved with juniors so am not the best person to ask. I believe numbers are pretty good from U10s to U14s but they off in the16s. Probably too many other things to do at that age
