Southern Cricket Association News

[abber]

Same thing happened in this seasons Calaby Shield semi final between SCA & Murray Towns. Souhern passed Murray Towns' score with 25 overs to go.
The Southern association umpire called the game off. It was pointed out to him by the Southern coach that home ground advantage for the Grand final would be decided by the amount of runs Southern won by.
The umpire said no. of wickets in hand and no. of overs left would be taken into account.
He was wrong.
Grand Final was to be played away at Strathalbyn but was called off due to the heat. Another date can't be scheduled so SCA & Alexandrina share the title.
Bit of a pity as both sides had a number of Grade junior players. Would have been a good match.
SCA had mainly Stingrays (2 State Under 15 players), some Sturt & Glenelg.
Alexandrina had several Stingrays and Sturt players.

Noarlunga 143
Reynella made the target with an over to spare.

At least there will be a different format next season as Flagstaff Hill will have an A-Grade side

I think he's still a little nervous about venturing into the outfield. That incident with the streaker really messed him up.

B Grade GF this weekend at Flagstaff Hill - Port Noarlunga V Reynella

C Grade GF this weekend at Noarlunga - Port Noarlunga V Cove

Unfortunately the D Grade and U/16 lost their games to have a chance of playing in a GF.

We have (Port) also the following association trophy winners.

Shaun Tanner 680 runs - A Grade batting and cricketer of the year (he's only 22 y.o)Keep an eye out for him in the state country XI these coming days.

Mark Boes 26 wkts - A Grade bowling

Jared Rogers Under 16 cricketer of the year and Under 16 batting trophy

Did Cove go out in straight sets?...mate plays there and I thought he told me they finished top?

[smithy]

They did Dutchy.
Their C's and D's are in GF's this weekend, a big improvement on previous years where the club was struggling for numbers and finals appearances.

Can Port Noarlunga finally become the bride instead of the bridesmaid they have been for the past 5 or so years?

I think they can Diddy.

Over the past few years Noarlunga have been the only stumbling block and with them out the way I'm predicting their 1st A Grade flag since 73/74.

Indeed they did Diddy.
A's, B's & C's all won their Grand Finals

Their 1st A Grade flag since 73/74 when Jim Curtis (for those at Marion) was at the helm and Mick Fitzgerald had long hair.
The B's go back to back and the C's continue recent dominance.

A VERY good day for the club.

Winners are grinners Kaiser.

Personally I hope Sullies are in the top 4 next season because what the committee have done there over the past 3-4 seasons has been terrific. They deserve some finals action on hard work alone.

You can email me at http://www.skyoptic.com.au if you want and I can send a heap through...

I have also been putting some on http://www.whitepointers.net as well.

Legend, I am very much a player, and one of those on the committee which Smithy spoke about, who actually care about this club.
Unfortunately not enough do.
It just sucks when a person like Leon leaves our club, because he was one who would put his hand up and help out, ie' coaching juniors etc.
Then leaves because not enough people help out!! making the responsibilites on the others who do even more greater. When he knew how hard people worked when he was there.
i hope he didn;t have to do too much behind the scenes at Porties.

It just disappointed me when Leon left, because he had played at O'SB as long as I had, and he was one who cared about the club, and for him to just get up and walk out, was disappointing that's all. I can understand why he left, because i too, being one who puts their hand up knows how hard it can get, but it just made it harder without him.

My feeling is that last season will be the last time you see O'SB on the field unfortunately.
Not enough people care and want to help. Too many people think a crciket club runs itself.

Rumours a lot of players leaving.
H.Dedicoat - retiring
C.Dedicoat - retiring
M.Dedicoat - leaving to play with old mates
M.Howard - Brighton
W.McKay - perhaps Great Southern
L.Holdsworth - perhaps Brighton
D.Beck - retiring


all rumours, but if so, there goes the A grade, and say goodbye to the club.

The soccer club haven't exactly helped you either..

[Kaiser Chief]

Exactly

that's what hurts the most about the whole thing is that us folding is exactly what they want. Would love to see them go down.

they have a lot of people down there. but they'e still shit at soccer

Not at all. Now they screwed us over with our presos.
The pricks double booked the club and wont let us use the gym to do it in coz our band was to play and that might annoy the private function in the main room.
