For many weeks now the Northern Argus has been following a series of creative rumours concerning unrest among a number of Quorn-based Booleroo-Melrose-Wilmington players.

Not much attention was paid to the issue until a meeting in Quorn on October 27 between several local people and a representation from South Augusta Football Club - including a recruiting manager, a current player, and more than one committee member.

The talks were fruitful and explored several strategies all aimed at getting football on the town oval sooner rather than later.

The BMW players who attended the meeting were Tom Carling, Cam Carling, Matt Skull, Mick Bury, Corey Finlay and Brad Elson.

Former Quorn Wolves football manager Buck Everett - who has solid links with South Augusta - was also at the meeting.

He said the long term plan was to play football in Quorn again and they were intent on examining all the possibilities.

“We’ve been trying to get footy back to Quorn for ages - since the Wolves folded,” Everett said.

“We know that if BMW want to put a game on up here then they have got to get someone to come up and play and who will want to come all this way?

“So we know very well we will probably never get football back to Quorn if we don’t go another way about it.

“We have got try another angle so we are thinking along the lines that maybe if we get the Quorn boys playing for South Augusta we will hopefully forge a solid link and which will lead to us getting a couple of SGFL games up here and that is all we are trying to do.”

Meanwhile, Booleroo-Melrose-Wilmington Football Club president Phil Green said that he had no prior knowledge of the plans or the meetings.

“Well this is a bit of a different story than the Quorn version I suppose,” Green said.

“To be honest most of that stuff about Quorn was just a few blokes having a bit of fun if you know what I mean.
