Hi Guys,

The North Eastern Knights Cricket Club (SA Churches & Community Association) are really struggling for players to fill our B Grade for the upcoming 2011/2012 season.

At this point I want to make quite clear that I have not come onto your associations forum to try and poach players, however, if your club has an excess amount of players who are missing out on games and are keen to play, I would love to have a chat with you to see if an arrangement can be made where you could help us out.

If you think your club could be of assistance, please PM me.

I reckon there are a few other clubs in the same predicament Pistol.

yeah i think there are a few clubs out there short of numbers but if you don't try you don't have a chance!

Are Craig Turner, Leigh Wallman, Jamie Jarret and Paul Collyer still playing at Pooraka? Big losses if all have retired or moved on

[Plumb]

Don't count out St. Peters coming down from A1. Should be a tough comp in A2 this year.

I think you're right. With the bottom 5 teams to go down, if the last few seasons are anything to go by, there will be a few unlucky teams going down. My tip is Reynella. They have been around the mark for a while and if they have the same team as last year, I think they will win it. It will be interesting to see how Brahma Lodge go in A3 and if they have recruited any new faces.

They (Brahma) picked up ex Northerrn Districts A Grader Geoff Tume...classy lad. They needed someone like him in a big way thats for sure.

Note to Browny... Watch how straight Tumey plays

Stop trying to justify your lack of principles, a bullant has more fortitude than you. Something Pooraka will find out too when things don't go all your own way.

The bull ant famously appears in the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer's major work, The World as Will and Representation, as a paradigmatic example of strife and constant destruction endemic to the "will to live".

"But the bulldog-ant of Australia affords us the most extraordinary example of this kind; for if it is cut in two, a battle begins between the head and the tail. The head seizes the tail in its teeth, and the tail defends itself bravely by stinging the head: the battle may last for half an hour, until they die or are dragged away by other ants. This contest takes place every time the experiment is tried."

...I would like to know how many people have that much fortitude

I would like to know if that's true and if so where can i get a bulldog ant to see it for myself?

Myrmecia - often called bulldog ants, bull ants, inch ants, sergeant ants, jumper ants or jack-jumpers

[bulldogs]

been in qld all week are we going to get away. thought some blokes may need another week. whats it going like out there Mr Borner is it safe to come out for a hit?

[no_remorse28]

Glad to see new faces out at Kilburn tonight and some return from last year after quite a few have headed to Port Districts, all be it we have dropped down to C2 but it is a much better feeling there so far this year with a group committed to some training and making the club a respectable competitor again. Hopefully we are laying the foundation for success on and off the field and creating the sort of culture any club strives to have.

Heard that the club told Justin Shore they didn't want him around the club this year?
Pretty rough since he is one of the few who has stuck around the club during the tough times..

Justin Shore cleared to Port Districts and word is had been training there once a week, so dunno what he was on about then lol, Hope he has a good year out there. Will love the short straight boundaries when he has a hit

Our oval is in terrible condition at the moment, normally this time of theyear it is quite good but the council decided to tear the whole thing up it seems and install new irrigation just after the footy season.

Embarrassing start to our new adventure in turf.

Looking at our deck last night I reckon we'll struggle to get it up this week with the rain we've had. If we do I can't see it being overly batsmen friendly.

I can understand that, I played a game of footy there this season the middle was pretty hammered.
