The following is an excerpt from the BCA with the reasoning behind the awarding of the Premierships due to COVID-19. ‘Following on from the decision to cancel all cricket matches this weekend and beyond, the Board and PC of the Ballarat Cricket Association have declared that the following rules apply relating to determination of winners for the 2019/20 season. Excerpts from Senior Rules 28 and 29 – ‘Should no decision be reached or a tie result, the winner shall be deemed to be the team highest ranked after the Qualifying Finals’ Qualifying finals are references to matches directly preceding Semi, Preliminary and/or Grand Finals. All Senior and Junior matches scheduled for March 20, 21 & 22 will be treated the same as they would have been, for example washed out, with the highest ranked teams deemed winners. With this determination, the following Clubs in each Grade will be awarded the season 2019/20 Premierships.’ ---------------------------------------------------- BCC Presentation Night Due to the COVID -19 pandemic, Ballan Cricket Club have cancelled the presentation night that was due to be on the 4th of April.
