A MOTION for Rovers United Bruck Cricket Club to defect from the Wangaratta and District Cricket Association has been voted down at the club’s recent special general meeting.

The club held the meeting on Wednesday, 14 May, to determine if they would leave the WDCA and join the neighbouring Cricket Albury Wodonga competition.

“Over the course of the past two years, Rovers United Bruck Cricket Club (RUBCC) received numerous requests from members to investigate a move to the Cricket Albury Wodonga (CAW) competition,” a club-issued statement said.

“At the conclusion of the 2024/25 cricket season, the committee met to discuss this topic and worked through proceedings to gather the necessary facts to understand what this move would mean to RUBCC members and their families.

“Through discussions with those in the club, putting this to a vote among club members received strong support from both senior and junior cricket.

“A vote was conducted at a Special General Meeting on Wednesday, 14 May, however, the votes received did not reach the required majority to pass the motion to apply to enter the CAW competition.

“Rovers United Bruck Cricket Club will at this time remain affiliated with the WDCA.

“As always, we're continually working to improve our great club and look forward to the upcoming season.”

The WDCA clubs will meet on Tuesday, 20 May for their annual delegates meeting.
