Good to see some clubs have given up on finals and are sending players to lower grades.
I guess some permits need to be issued.

If your referring to me then you need to check your facts retard....

And while im here....Someone from Enfield complaining about hiding players in a low grade....hahahahaha

This from the club that complains every year that permits are wrong but yet every year you use them.
And who are we hiding, name someone, or shut up

In all my years as President I have never heard us complain once that permits are wrong. Have you got something to back that claim up?

[carey]

Maybe you should look at your club up to their old tricks playing 8 players in B Grade

Did you forget to mention that they got bowled out for 20 last week too?

Whats wrong with playing with 8 players????

[auto]

So lets get this straight then, Enfield played with 8 in their B grade yesterday but had 11 in their C grade....WOW.

Gotta say i have enjoyed playing Enfield over the years, got alot of good blokes in their teams and you always have a laugh with them, which is how i enjoy playing my cricket. People like you though mjcrow spoil it for the rest of your club.

[Magpies96]

No I didn't forget, I just am not one to rub it in like that.

But all in all, pretty good effort by the Fitzoy B's to break the duck winning by an Innings and 1 run, their first win for almost a season and a half.

I still find this a pathetic comment and real sour grapes, but from Enfield I would expect nothing less.
You know dam well Auto was picked in the A grade because you saw it on our facebook page but pulled out at the last minute when he hurt his back.
By helping Enfield and agreeing to play them in a One Day in Div 4 a week later, we had the chance to pick the team again and when his back came good he was selected.
Hardy planned or any cape and daggers stuff.
If you ask Auto if he would rather be playing div 1 or div 4 he will tell you div 1 all the time.

And let’s face it, your Div 4 side was hardly all C graders, so I don’t really understand why you would bring it up in the first place.

Looking forward to your reply.

I am sorry, I forgot that it’s only Auto that cam make accusations. I have read on the site for the last 2 ½ the dribble that has been put on here about Enfield and everything it does (Not just by Fitzroy players). I put one thing on here and all of a suddenly someone from Fitzroy gets upset. I didn’t even put names on here, yet I noticed that Auto was the first to pipe up.
I refer you back to the last year and when Auto (who was not even playing this game) made the statement that Enfield C’s had 2 players playing in the SF with Permits from out A grade (Page 201 last year thread), but was not true. I didn’t jump on here and start attacking him or your club. Also didn’t Fitzroy have a player from your b team that had played 9 B Team games and 1 C Team game in the C Team that game with a permit, did we jump on here and say anything!
In regards to the B’s only having 8, I agree it is very disappointing, but this was the second week of a 2 day game, how do we make up for players not turning up (Which is very ****ed up). We could not take players from the c’s to fill in so yes we had 11 players, including a 62 year old and 15 year playing his 2nd game. Which you take those 2 players out the average age was 38, with 6 players being older than 40. Yea we are great full to Fitzroy to agreeing to the 1 day game that was never in question, as we would have only had 7 players and that can never be good for any game. It wouldn’t have changed the fact about the B’s only having 8 too.
I agree we have made mistakes in the past and not doubt we will again in the future, but if anyone would like to take the time to ask us about things or even come out to our training to see what we do on a Wednesday night they are more than welcome, we even talk about it over a beer instead of making statements based on rumours and hearsay!
After all the crap that has been said about Enfield, mostly based on players that have left the club, and yet that the fact that I put 1 comment and all hell breaks loose, I didn’t call people names, or attached them personally. I figured that what this site was about, I mean for years we have been the punching bag even if it true or not!
Doesn’t that show a double standard that Auto can continue to make statements about Enfield true or not and we can’t say anything?

[Krav Man]

Yes Auto, Krav Man had a couple of quiet ones last night!!
Still have a smile on my face today.
The Enfield lads didn't go down without a fight and if they had a full team the outcome could have been different.
Hopefully the monkey is off our backs and we can come home strong.

You had the win last week when Enfield had full side (well 10). So it was a well deserved win.
I am glad to hear that the boys put a fight up.
I would like to say thanks to the 5 people that stepped up to help out and to Dan for his work at trying to arrange what is one of the hardest jobs around at the moment when players commit but don't show.

Well done on your win and hope you enjoy the night too

Fair enough with your reply, but you orginally did say Fitzroy made the accusations (when in fact it was one player) and unfortunately I don't get on here all the time to read every word that is said.
You are right forums are here to make comment, but you can not claim this club said that and this club said that because it is not the clubs talking but players.
BTW, I enjoyed being back in B's again, next time I just hope I get an umpire who thought I got an inside edge

[No1_Source]

trust me there is no one more dissapointed with only 8 turning up then me we probably wouldnt have won but would have been a good finish... im not sure who in the c's i can bring up as our problem is clearly batting as our bowling with not many fielders is going ok...

I take your point about using a general term like "Club" as that is not fair to, what I expect are many people, that do a great job in running the clubs we play for. I was not questioning the work done by yourself and other within your club, I know what it takes to run a multi team club, and it takes its toll. I guess my frustrations have built up over the last few years and I have had enough.
I have watch many players leave our club that have felt the need to attack us once they have left. This is very disappointing, sour grapes maybe, but I have let them have their say due the fact I know what we do at our club and what we are trying to obtain, which is returning the top grade again, were we have had some success in the past (Being that it a long time ago). Are we doing it right, I guess not as we still have not found the success? I know one thing, we have maintain our stance that no 1 person is bigger than the club and this has caused a number of players to leave, right or wrong, that I guess if for other to judge but I would hope that they would judge it on facts and not the rumours and self-adulation of a few.
I have played for Enfield for over 21 years now and have been involved in running for a large number of years, so I guess I take it personally when someone attacks the club as an attack on me (yes some were against me).

sorry magpie i cant walk on a lbw the old man is one of the best umpires in this association and it didnt really matter i was out 3 runs later

MJ, I have 2000 posts on this site and most are dribble or tongue in cheek. I couldnt give a rats arse about who plays where at Enfield, though contrary to some i actually agree that older players who have done their time should have the right to play in lower grades ala Enfield and at my club also.
I dont recall a time when i bagged Enfield. In fact i tend not to bag clubs or people on this fine site unless they personally wrong me and my club or overwhelmingly deserve it. The case you cited, from a year ago, was told to me by a pretty disgruntled Enfield player and i stipulated it was a rumour, but in hindsight i agree that was a stupid post from me. You will find that posts like that from me are pretty rare.

Your insinuation that our club was tanking goes against what I and my club (and most clubs) stand for and is pretty derogatory.

T/20 scores anyone?

[auto]

If i wasnt so damn sore and sun burnt i woulda gone out for a geez....

[carey]

T/20 scores anyone?

I went and watched the 2 PDCA games and heard 2nd hand that Pooraka 'smashed' rose park and adel luth lost but it was a closer game.

Remembering i heard this 2nd hand.

I would like to congratulate MATTY WILES on one of the most sportsmen like things i have seen in cricket in a very long time.

Matty was facing our off spinner he edged the ball to first slip who claimed the catch. Most of us including myself were unsure if it carried. We had 2 fielders thought it did carry but the central umpire, our keeper, and most of our fielders werent sure infact square leg umpire did'nt think it carried yet Matty went up to the fielder and asked are you sure you caught it to which the fielder replied YES and he walked.

Just thought it is worth a mention of this sportsmen like behaviour.

Para Vista A defeated Seaton A by one wicket today. Chasing 211, Vi$ta were 1/160-odd at one stage, slumped to 9/205 before the Wilson brothers guided us home. The winning runs came from a nick through slips... that's two cliff-hangers in two matches for Vi$ta's A-Grade! Jon Smith continued his sparkling form, hitting 62, Bored made 30-odd, and Tarca 50-odd. Best bowlers for Seaton were wearing pants (at least that's what I heard).

Para Vista B also had a win, beating Paralowie - who actually turned up with 10 players today. After bowling Paralowie out for 65 last week, Vi$ta worked their way to 8/165 declared. Yours Truly and SpinTwin batted for the first 16 overs for the day for a pulsating seven runs in total off the bat, after being sent in as nightwatchmen last week. Apologies to the Paralowie attack for the lack of entertainment, but our first job was to bat you out of the game (and absorb most of the abuse from Boxy at backward square). Greg Kells hit 26* late, and Brenton Starke chimed in with 31*. Carey was pick of the bowlers with 4/49 off 23.

Paralowie batted again after the tea break and were 5 for not many at one stage, before Carey also stood up with bat, hitting 58* and guiding Paralowie to 5/100-odd at stumps. Nick Maxted took two wickets for Vi$ta.

Grave Digger cooks a mean barbie and we all indulged after the game... thanks mate!

Typo at the end of the day mate you did excatly as was required for your side to take the points although it was far from pretty at times you did what was needed. I actaully thought you bowled ok and thought you may of bowled a bit earlyer.

You also copped some fair abuse from Boxhead and Fitzy these lads can sledge that is for sure.

[carey]

The way i'm feeling today has also confirmed i will never bowl 25 overs in an innings again that is for sure.
