Where's our Moose Harley Trophy Jabber ???

I've spoken with the current committee about it ages ago, i thought something would have been done by now.

[caleb777]

Who would be the biggest rivals in Section 1 nowadays?
Which game is the Norwood/Port, the Collingwood/Carlton, the NSW/QLD (Origin), the Villi's/Balfours?

Is it now Cove v. Sheidow? ICC v. WYC? PFCC v. Keswick?

You know, the one match where the ASCA MUST have at least 1 umpire, probably 2. Where tempers simmer near boiling point before play.
Where the toss of the coin resembles the moment before a boxing match as 2 combatants face off.
Where supporters niggle all day - I think this only happens at Morphies now, sometimes Plympton, used to be Hectoville ( those blokes were nuts).

WYC v Ramblers is a very interesting game to be apart of. Also Ramblers versus Coro/Blackwood is a very spiteful game.

Or u just worry bout wanting to play cricket instead of calling a game off due to a light shower pathetic IMO

Keswick proposal for a change to A&SCA fixtures;

Dear fellow Adelaide and Suburban cricketer,
Last season a motion was referred to the Association Annual General Meeting to increase the number of one day games played throughout the season. We the committee and members of the Keswick Cricket Club, believe this motion deserves to be reconsidered. We believe the motion failed due to a poor understanding of the anticipated benefits of such a move and are planning to re-submit a motion to this season’s AGM. In an effort to pass this motion we are distributing this memo to every team, player, club secretary and president in the Association.

The pressures on time and participation in sport are ever increasing. Work on weekends, family and personal commitments results in many players being unable to commit to playing on two consecutive Saturday afternoons. The Association is cognisant of this fact and have in recent years allowed adoption of 12 and 13th men substitutions partly to overcome this modern day issue. Even so we have found more and more cricketers of all ages and skill levels unable to commit despite being keen to play. We believe that increasing the number of one day games will allow these cricketers to play more games throughout any given season. Earlier this season our 5th side forfeited two games and yet on the second week of those games there were sufficient available players to fill the team. We have now been forced to drop this side from the competition. We believe one day games will increase participation and strengthen the association.

Craig Lawn (Association Secretary) a number of years ago proposed an option aimed at creating a fairer draw and increasing the number of one day games in the process. We wholeheartedly support his proposal and will outline it again in this memo below.
Firstly, the number of teams per section/division should be reduced to 8. The season is then broken down into 7 two day games as per the current format plus 7 one day games. This means each team play against each other twice; once in a one day format and once in a two day game. Finals as per the current format would continue in all sections. We believe this is a much fairer draw and ultimately will increase participation over all grades. The draw will be more difficult to manage but can be easily achieved by scheduling two one day games followed by a two day game. There is no need for increased ovals just for an increased number of sections /divisions. This change would also allow for the future establishment of a one day premiership to be run within the framework of a regular season schedule of fixtures. Keswick also believe more one-day games could potentially increase participation for Sunday events such as Association matches and Twenty20 tournaments if organised on the same weekend. While the reduction of teams per section would provide the fairest draw, the highest standard of competition and is our preferred option, Keswick see no reason why the schedule cannot be altered with the current number of clubs per section.

We, the members of Keswick Cricket Club are keen to discuss this issue and even modify the motion if required to achieve consensus at the association AGM. We would also request clubs encourage conversation related to this proposal, amongst their own members.

Thank you for reading and considering this proposal.
Yours Faithfully
Dr. John Miller, President, Keswick Cricket Club (Life Member A&SCA ).

I can provide Dr Miller's contact details for further discussion if anyone wants them.

Good one. It was your captain that finally conceded to the weather.

Well said Gowser.

If he 'finally conceded', as you put it, then that would mean that there would have been someone on the other side pushing the agenda to not play, would it not??

Yer, the rain.

[Booney]

What a healthy arguement over nothing eh? For what it's worth Hawthorndene is looking an absolute treat and a pleasure to play on with the rain we've had and the new matting has settled down fairly well.
But if you want value for shots learn to hit in the air.
Looking forward to a big one-dayer with Coro this week now that the toss won't play a part in deciding the result

WTF ? Timing and placement give you value for your shots, hitting them in the air is just another way of getting out.

Poor advise IMO.

have you ever played at the dene??

Yep. Doesn't matter where you are playing. Timing and placement...

[storyoftheyear]

its disturbing how hasty some blokes in this section are in calling off a days play

I think what af means is that with the dene being really spongy this year, if you want to score quickly and get a decent score you have to alter your play to play a bit more in the air. the dene is not like wyc or sheidow park where the ground is relatively quick and u can afford to play a bit more conservative. ive seen balls absolutely rocket off the middle of a batsmans bat only for it to stop almost immediately.

Gowser are you a retard?????
I think you will find that both captains from both teams and the umpire gave it 30 minutes to start with after 1pm then an additional 30 min to have another look at the playing conditions. Once a disicion was made to make it a one dayer you team seem prietty pleased about that as they could hit up the Morphett Arms, prove me wrong i bet you cant.........then after everyone had left the oval the rain decided to stop and didnt rain for he rest of the day. It still would have been some time for play to happen as Plympoton Ovals grass is lush and it holds the water. It ould have taken some drying out and so would the pitch.

Prove me wrong champ!

[duck-mann]

I have just posted a comment on the PDCA forum suggesting a charity day to be organised between clubs to try and raise money to be given to the Queensland flood relief and/or red cross to aid Queenslanders in this time of need. If ANYONE is interested in helping organise a day to raise money for our fellow Australians please PM me. If you can offer an oval for the day??? maybe your company is willing to sponsor the day by covering the licenses and insurances that will be required for the day to go ahead? ALL help would be much appreciated by myself and of course by all of those people who are in need of ANY help we can offer.

With so many big amateur sporting clubs (especially out North) it would be an absolute shame if we all sat back and did nothing!!

Cool story bro, except we went to watch the B-Grade.

You know, the one match where the ASCA MUST have at least 1 umpire, probably 2. Where tempers simmer near boiling point before play.
Where the toss of the coin resembles the moment before a boxing match as 2 combatants face off.
Where supporters niggle all day - I think this only happens at Morphies now, sometimes Plympton, used to be Hectoville ( those blokes were nuts).

ICC Sharks VS anyone

my top 5 would just at a personal point of view...

1. Morphies - actually there good bunch of blokes, i think its in my DNA to dislike them and they beat us in a GF
2. Sheidow
3. ICC
4. Keswick - only there A grade!!!
5. WYC - off the field never had a problem (well not to my knowledge) good blokes.its a a side people love ti hate.. But when we play them, things happen and its all ways interesting, but the good thing 98% of the time it stays on the field. the other 2% would be the time i caught Hopkins at our ground and til this day i swear it never touch the ground and the 2nd happened in section 2 when a caught behind wasn't given not out and i stood my ground (i think i didn't move due to shock the umpire nott giving me not out) however i do enjoy the compitition when we play...

Thats because people start their posts with "....are you a retard" and from then on that poster will get no respect whatsoever.Champ.

Albeit a much less confrontational rivalry, WYC V Glenelg holds special importance for all WYC folk. Losing finals at home to the Bays has hurt us on two occasions ( one GF ) and no-one could ever forget that.

As a "local derby" WYC V South Road used to be exciting and anywhere Pitty played usually had some spice to it.

Yes, it's a pity that Pitty no longer plays in the league as he was one true character that's for sure. Also a fine cricketer.
