10 years ago plympton oval was an absolute bowling green, best in the comp without any doubt, but the wear and tear of 3 senior footy sides, 3 senior soccer sides, 10 junior footy sides and 7 junior soccer sides takes its toll, especially seeing that these sides refuse to move a few training sessions during the year to give the oval the r&r that it needs.
one thing that i will say about plympton oval is that it recovers superbly, if our batting innings recovered as well as the grass does we'd be top!
the oval at the moment is rubbish, but not through any fault of the pfcc, but i wouldnt say its a bad place to play cricket by any stretch. if plympton oval is the worst oval in the div (and i wont say comp, because the entire comp has some adsolute shockers) then adelaide & suburban section one grounds must be going ok i reckon!
best facilities in the comp, yes, but right at this stage not the best surface, and the pitch is due for a relaying, but that happens every 4-5 years.
ramblers, best shop, joans pantry! a bit of passionfruit cheesecake never hurt anyone!
I would have to say ours is up there Jabber.
