Hey all i saqw on shepparton online MFL Appeal against Rumbalara has been dismissed so Rumbalara will be playing mfl in 2006
Rumbalara will begin its search for a full-time coach immediately after it was all but confirmed yesterday the club would play in Murray Football League next year.
Rumbalara's switch to the MFL now appears a fait accompli after the move was again endorsed by the game's governing body.
The Victorian Country Football League has rejected MFL's second appeal against Rumbalara's clearance application, effectively green-lighting the transfer. It (Rumbalara's move) looks done and dusted," Murray league general manager Wayne Burrows said.
"We're waiting for official notification from the VCFL, but we've been told the appeal was dismissed.
"The decision will still have to be ratified by our clubs at an upcoming meeting, but at this stage it looks like Rumbalara will be in next year."
Rumbalara president Paul Briggs said he had also been told the appeal was rejected.
Briggs said he was pleased the VCFL had stuck by its guns and placed Rumbalara into a major league.
"We're really pleased with our inclusion into the MFL," Briggs said.
"It (the decision) still has to go before the (MFL) clubs, but it looks like the formalities are almost over."
Briggs said the club would immediately start looking for a full-time coach to replace Alan Thorpe, who announced he was stepping down from the post.
"Alan used to commute from Melbourne twice a week for training and decided with us going into a higher league, he wouldn't have the time to go around again," he said.
"We've said previously that we'd like to get a fulltime coach on board and now we know where we're playing, we can look to fill that position."
