Cootamundra officials notified CAW chief Michael Erdeljac of the decision only hours after they defeated Holbrook and District by 109 runs at Holbrook.
Erdeljac is hoping another challenger can be organised in the next 24 hours.

Association stalwart Robbie Mackinlay is also retiring from representative cricket.
