St David’s will miss the Eastern Counties for the second year running after club members reportedly voted to boycott the tournament.The decision has mystified the Eastern Counties Cricket Association who have said ‘they don’t know what St David’s problems are’, while the club themselves have refused to comment.Club president Aaron Lugo is staying silent on the issue, although that might be because the membership are understood to have over-ruled the executive’s earlier decision to play in this year’s competition.Reasons for the boycott are believed to range from; a row over how money is divided up, anger at a request for St David’s to issue a public apology for boycotting last year, and the continued demands for the ECCA to hold an AGM and audit.“To be honest with you I don’t know what St David’s real problems are,” said an ECCA official. “We’re still trying to get things sorted as an Association.“I don’t fully understand it, we have done a lot of things in this past year, had a lot of meetings and we thought everything was finished. I think it would be in everyone’s best interests if St David’s explained their side of things, they are the ones who are managing everything.“Maybe you can draw your own conclusions from their silence. We’re doing the best that we can, and we’re still working to make it work, and that’s what we’re there for, as an Association.”The Premier Division side’s decision to withdraw comes after a winter of meetings during which Lugo expressed optimism that everything could be worked out between the two sides.“We are always looking to go in a positive direction with the Eastern Counties,” said Lugo in April. “We have had countless meetings in regards to this year’s competition and it should be a matter of making things official and we can move on.“I believe we can move forward with the meetings, there are some level-headed people in these meetings so it should be okay.”However, cracks started to appear a month later when it emerged that the ECCA had levied a fine on St David’s, after the two sides had come out of mediation.It is understood that St David’s successfully appealed against that fine, but the row over the division of money, which has been an issue for a number of years, and the demand for a public apology, were too much for club members to bear.During last year’s row over a last-minute change of venues St David’s management member Kamilah Cannonier said club members were tired of ‘losing out year in, year out’ in dealings with the Association.This feeling is understood to have resurfaced in recent weeks and months, and once again the St David’s members appear to have had enough.“It wasn’t just one decision that made us not want to play this year, but it was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” said Cannonier in 2010. “It has been years of rulings against St. David’s.“They (St David’s members) don’t like how the Eastern Counties is running and we have to stand by our members and our principles.”
