participate. This competition would also be non developmental
and not a stepping- stone to play higher grades. It was not
desirable to have a number of under twenty- five year olds playing.
Unfortunately we have a number of young players in 2014 who are
not yet ready for Gardiner or higher grades and no where for them
to play other than Nankivell. FWW have to look at where these
young players are going to go in 2015 and revisit the concept of a
thirty plus competition only. For the Nankivell Cup to survive in
2014 some young players will be necessary in most teams. These
young players entered must be in line with the spirit of this
competition and be of the appropriate skill level so they don’t
dominate the competition.
The three under twenty-five players from Junee were approved to
play Nankivell.
The under eleven team from Lake Albert was approved to play in
the under twelve’s competition because a technical issue in our
current eligibility table. Erwin will adjust the table to prevent this
happening in the future. The Lake Albert team can only play up if
the agree to the following principles:
A). Their coach must be qualified
B). The club must get all there ten to sixteen coaches appropriately
accredited.
C). All players in the team must have parental permission.
D). They strongly encourage all members of this team to still
participate in the mini roos small- sided games at the Duke Of
Kent.
E). FWW must have a written application from this team.
Rawlings Park 2/3/4 will not be ready until after May. Kessler,
Forest Hill, Junee or Coolamon will be used as back ups.
Bob McKenzie has organized a schedule to mark all grounds before
our competitions start. Forest Hill not to be marked until needed.
All clubs to set up their usual grounds TFC will bring the small
sided gear down to the Duke Of Kent and organize a roster over
two years to do these annual tasks between the four Wagga Clubs.
Secretary to prepare a Duke Of Kent canteen roster for 2014 and
circulate to clubs.
The two Tolland players who requested to play down a year
because their birthdays were so close to the end of the year were
granted permission to do so. These players will have to reapply
next year.
It was decided that the Nankivell Cup would start next weekend
with the bye team to play against new comers at the gala day.
The TFC proposal to have eight sides in both Pascoe and Gardiner
was defeated.
It was decided if a young player scored an exact ten they did not
need an assessment providing these players have been entered in
the Nankivell Cup within the basic principles of under age entry
listed above.
