My thoughts on the day. Kudo's to Kapunda for putting on a good show, oval was pristine and canteen/bar facilities were more than adequate. Beautiful day for football, not a breath of wind and the sun was out along with the skin :D
Crowd seemed a little down on previous years, only 4 clubs represented on the footy side of things and pretty similar in the netty was my understanding. Nuri played some scintilating top shelf footy as did Centrals in the ressies but the atmosphere was a little flat as no grades were really close and all were done by half time. Got there at half time of the 15's and that was pretty much over with South about 6 goals up, Nuri had a crack but the result was never in doubt. Similar tale in the 17's, Central had a big lead at 3/4 time and although Barossa had a dip the result was a formality.
The ressies was a cracking contest for a quarter and Nuri led at the first break but thats where it ended. Nuri failed to score anything again until deep in the last whilst in the meantime Centrals piled on about 15 goals. One of the best B grade performances ive seen, real good skills and several Centrals players should be playing A grade or would at other clubs. As Jim05 mentioned King and Heberle were very good, both kicked bags each.
On to the main game, Nuri started off with a bang with 4 goals before Centrals scored, a small fightback ensued before Nuri closed out the quarter with a couple. Second quarter pretty much killed off the contest with Nuri playong some awesome footy, too much pace and skill for Centrals who looked slow and fumbly. Central's cause not helped with Mercer being sent off for a crude attack from behind. Third quarter was more of the same and you got the feeling Nuri had the job done well and truly midway through the quarter. Centrals had a real go at it in the last with Brading putting on a clinic but the result was never in doubt. Nuri deserved premiers, best side in the comp this year by a country mile. Everyone has a bit of work to do in the offseason to catch up

Highlight of the night is knowing we wont have to put up with Goodes anymore on the football field

Lyon exposed as a fraud once again.
When will he realise that his shit game plan will never cut the mustard. All that talent at his disposal and they kick a pathetic score once again.
That loss to West Coast doesnt look so bad now

Isn't he on the board of the Thunder or something?

And that is why players shouldn't be miked up whilst batting

Bancroft misses a pretty gettable stumping. Crazy that he gets picked for Australia really.

Should have picked ludeman really.

Tait going for 11 an over again. Surely this is his international career over
Come on Benny take the SA glasses off, Ludeman is rubbish behind the stumps.
Bancroft is probably going to be the next long term keeper in this form atleast, get some games into him now

well its been a huge couple days still cant believe we defended 95

Looks like it was the 1st time a club has won A1 and A2 premierships in the same year since Kapunda did it in 71/72, huge achievment for the club. Add the undefeated U14 premiers and things are looking good for the future too
Congrats to Angaston, that's a huge effort and speaks wonders of the club. You have definately set the bar and it's now up to the other clubs to lift.
Can definately see a real rivalry between you and Sandy over the next few years, both have really good depth across their senior sides and it's so important to have your second side in as high of a grade as possible. Most importantly though both clubs run excellent junior programs which is a credit to both clubs and with the numbers of juniors at those clubs it is a scary proposition for other clubs. Had a bit of a look at your colts on Saturday and geez there are some kids who will play a lot of A grade cricket in that lot, would of loved to get there Sunday and see them bat.
Once again well done and hats off to your players, coaches, committee and volunteers on an amazing year
