Former Harris Bay and Somerset Old Boys Vice-Chairman Randall (Bubba) Woolridge has hit back at claims made by association Treasurer Ronald Scraders surrounding this year’s charity cricket match that was cancelled.In an interview with this newspaper Scraders claimed that former Chairman Gary Williams resigned without notice.But this, Woolridge said, simply wasn’t the case.He said he and Williams informed their colleagues verbally of their resignations prior to last year’s match at Somerset Cricket Club.“It wasn’t like that because before the game last year we told them this was going to be our last game,” the former Flatts batsman said. “We indicated that we were going to resign before the last game but never put anything in writing and I guess they thought we weren’t serious.“I really feel for Gary because it makes it look like he bailed out and that’s not so.”Woolridge said Williams, who has repeatedly declined offers to comment, went as far as to call for a meeting to plan for the next match.“Gary called a meeting in April because you need to have people to follow it up but they never had a meeting,” he said.“No meeting came off in April and he (Scraders) didn’t call us to say, ‘hey look ... we haven’t had any meeting so what about the game this year’ — nothing like that.Woolridge also poured cold water on Scraders’ claim that he called a meeting with Williams several weeks ago to try to salvage the match.“He never called a meeting and I always keep in contact with Gary,” he said.Woolridge said he resigned because he became tired of carrying a heavy load trying to keep the traditional charity cricket match afloat.“I like doing the work but I’m getting tired of running around doing all the work and no one else wants to come and pitch in,” he said. “It’s always just the same people busting their tails and this is not something new.”Woolridge remains hopeful that the annual match, that was first played in 1952, can make a speedy return next year.“I’m sure it can take place next year but we need to sit down and have people work together,” he said. “We need the people to steer the ship on the course and that’s the only way it can come off again.”He added: “A lot of people look forward to this match which is for charity.“I feel very sad about that (cancellation) because this year I wanted to try and fight so St John Ambulance can be the beneficiary because they do such a good job.”
