But with the matter now seemingly at an end, Group 10 clubs voted against a switch last Wednesday night, there is praise for the Fishies.
CRL Regional Manager Western, Peter Clarke, attended the Group 10 meeting at Bathurst and was witness to the clubs voting 6-3 against Dubbo CYMS joining their competition.
“You’ve got to applaud the effort put in,” Clarke said in relation to CYMS. “But the Group 10 clubs just felt it was too big of a rush leading into the 2017 season.”
Despite the clubs voting against CYMS, Clarke said there was a lot of support for the upcoming review into the structure of the competitions in the Western Rams region.
Clarke said CYMS could theoretically fight the decision and take it to the CRL again, but he added “I doubt there would be any chance” of that board going against the Group 11, Group 10 and Western Rams boards.
