Fair enough at that stage of the season I say
Brian Rose, captain of Somerset did a similar thing years ago in the group stages of the Benson and Hedges Cup.
In last group game he declared after one ball and the opposition won by scoring one run of their first ball. Somerset went through to knock outs as group winner on run rate.
Not against the rules, but explain that to the full house at the game !
I believe he was suspended and fined and spectators were refunded their money.

They did get chucked out retrospectively though. Even their own committee voted to thrown themselves out.
Maybe they did and thought there's no way they'd do something so low. Surely there is a case to be had for them throwing the game and being docked points?

Not sure how they can face other players in the league next season with a straight face.
Utterly disgraceful

100% agree, refreshing that the league has took that stance,should be appaulded.
Glad to see the authorities have relegated them and docked them points

I genuinely couldnt play in a side that did that - surely you would rather win the league the proper way by winning the match fair and square.
The league have done the right thing there.

Take yer point but they chucked a match. They didn't make a cynical declaration (which is crap too imo) but they deliberately lost the game.
Im still stsggered how this act alone didn't contravene any rules
2 teams in the NEDL "chucked a match" by conceding whilst fielding.
What happened to them ? A Points deduction !!

But wasn’t this based on the safety of the players? Different situation imo.

What else are the league meant to do? Team in the losing position, felt that taking their players back onto the field would lead to injury. In one case this is backed up by video and photographic evidence. So conceded the match, as the umpire would not abandon the game.
