tough to keep decent turf pitches in the Hills with almost twice as much rainfall as the plains....they would get ruined during footy season and the washouts in summer would be rediculous

A former SA player and District coach played recently and said most HCA teams would beat C grade district sides

C grade district sides are made up of kids trying to live a dream have you noticed the run talleys in district cricket,cricket below b grade is ordinary at best at district clubs.

alot of C grade district clubs use the C grade as a development team
alot of young guys with a few older blokes to mentor them and help develop them
there is a decent step up from C's to B's in district cricket!

Definitely the case at my club at least 3 or 4 players per week are not of drinking age and even more in the Ds

Yes i beleive so. Other wise i think they will loose sandy .

[beeroclock]

Should prob start a new topic about it,can tell you all that Gepps juniors have had a change of co-ordinator for this season and there will be sides starting from u/9s this season,with the amount of kids playing footy there in the lower grades they should fill possibly 2 sides in both u/9 and u/11 cricket,depending on early interest.

Who cares if we lost Sandy, playing their juniors and lower grades out at Williamstown is a pain in the arse, how will the councils be able to afford curators and maintaining turf pitches when they barely maintain the ovals as they are. I know Penfied have to lok after their own pitches, i think all of the PDCA clubs would have to do the same.

90% of turf clubs do maintain their centre wickets,costs about $2500 for a season.

cost is more than that if u take it to account paying a curator, upkeep of roller, black soil etc etc

What's the penalty for not having the deck prepared well enough on day two when there has been decent conditions

[bulldogs]

forfeit just like ingle farm did in semi

Poor buggers, that would have been heartbreaking, the council has had the sprinklers on in the morning for junior finals in the past, we were lucky to just move the game to another venue at the last minute

[beeroclock]

Have gepps appointed a senior coach yet.

[Lightning McQueen]

There's a div 2 PDCA position going at the moment, a well established side, would prefer a top order batsman to fill the void. $750 plus a further $250 for making the GF. The team has made the finals the last 3 years, pretty young side.

is that all youre offering. LOL what is the going rate out there for a good coach. i believe they are hard to find and there isnt alot of interest out there or is the cash not up to scratch that being offered

There are extra incentives we set up that are performance based, we've had a player auction that pays out between $600 & $900 per week for MOTM along with a few loyal supporters that don't mind putting their hand in their pocket for the right person. We've just been content with blooding some young fella's over the past couple of years and surviving in div 2 until they come into fruition, we're getting there.

Besides, a coach doesn't really have to do a great deal, organise training drills, pick the best side and make the right moves to win the games, and that's only if he's a playing coach.

how do you structure your player auction thats alot of cash per week to payout

[Lightning McQueen]

Player Auction runs for the one-dayers only.

The A grade squad plus a wild-card(any player not listed), generally about 15 players to bid on.
People form syndicates or purchase players soley. The better players go for anywhere up to $700-$800, the fringe players usualy go for $50-$150.

Generally it would average out to around $400 per player which would give you a kitty of $6000. The club takes out 10% then the rest gets divided up into the seven one-dayers. This would be approx $770 on the figures that I've given.

It is totally on a point system for the games.
1 point per run
12 points per wicket
5 points for a catch
5 points for a NOT OUT
5 points for your part in a run out
10 points for a direct hit

The system works and it means someone is always cashed up on a saturday night so the club stays open longer.
