For anyone interested (ie Plympton boys) Ramblers v Belair is on Sunday from 12pm at Hawthorndene.
Yep, i completely agree. Us and Cove only had one day to play. Simply because the game before they didnt play on time so they bit into one of our weeks. The following week was "too soon", and then they couldnt play the last sunday because of a club function. The left only one sunday to be played. We did it because we were under the impression it had to be played before the next meeting.
I understand Sheidow played numerous games in the other comp on Sundays, but im sorry, you knew what you were getting yourselves into and therefore should have had it done in time. Part of the reason we didnt go in that comp is because we didnt want to play so many sundays close together. If we knew we could get such scope to change the rules, we may have played in that comp.
I mentioned to John Voyzey (who runs the comp IIRC) that next year, there should be a fee of some sort (i suggested $100), IMO it should be round robin (play 3 games each), have set dates by the association, with no scope to move (club functions to be organised around the t20s), and umpires to be organised with plenty of time up their sleeves for all games. Couldnt be that hard could it?? the only problem would be the lack of organisation by SAMCA and announcing dates for their games, but could easily be worked around.
Sheidow are waiting for whenever D. Sampson decides he is ready, Think you might be getting mixed up
Not what was said at the meeting. ICC stated they couldnt play their game because Sheidow had played too many other t20 games
