Important Club Update – 2025 Season
Western Youth Centre Cricket Club
After a lot of discussion and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to withdraw our Section 3 and Section 7 teams for the remainder of the 2025 season.
This has not been taken lightly. A combination of ongoing injuries, reduced player availability and teams being moved into higher divisions over recent seasons has made it increasingly challenging to field competitive and reliable sides each week.
We have done everything we can over the past few rounds to find a solution, however continued forfeits are not sustainable for the club moving forward.
We will continue to field our Section 2 side and are working hard behind the scenes to support those players for the rest of the season. We are also exploring options for some affected players to still be involved through permitted arrangements at other clubs.
Thank you to all players, coaches, volunteers and supporters who have stuck with us. Your support means everything as we look to reset, rebuild and come back stronger.
I'm sorry, but this is weak as piss to take out your B grade side as well.
It doesn't matter if you cop a few floggings over the course, it happens to every club now and then.
I can understand the C grade being yanked, but now it looks like half the players are propping up Phantoms, who are in just the same position as WYC, and that's not helping anyone.
Nobody is saying it, but I will.
The mass importing of non Australian players to clubs, like WYC, South Road and Warradale are short term solutions, but will lead to clubs demises.
Having said that I'll address why I haven't posted in here for a while.
Bugger me, you Coromandel dicks have very short fuses.
An off the cuff, sarcastic remark, and you blokes lose ya bloody mind.
Truth is, King tried Ramblers first.
Told he would have to pay subs, like everyone else, and no one gets paid.
Went to you flogs, and you do pay.
Yep, clubs are allowed to recruit. Paying players in hard wicket cricket, please!
Wonder how Matt feels now with his old club in such a state.
