any news on player movements? does anyone know which club picked up phil hughes?

University

H31, is that informed or a guess. College tie working beautifully at SACA, gee that would give them
Thornton, Cooper, Christian, Mennie, Hughes, couple of DLA players, Uni at the forefront of developing cricket in SA. That takes care of 1 of our Premier League teams, 3 more required.

No just a wild stab in the dark

However, I hope our DLA player from last season Ben Cox gets in Phil's ear at Worcester and gives him directions to Glandore Even better if Coxy gets permission to come back and he can drive him there himself

Have heard Hughes to Kensington.

Have heard Hughes to Kensington.

Ive heard East Torrens as he has mates there.
Might end up playing 1 game for all clubs

Nah, if you download the program it is down for the 17th MARCH - typo

[Bluedemon]

will there be another country round in the T20s this year?

[Shark_Hunter]

will there be another country round in the T20s this year?

Yep, 1st T20 is country round

[Ripdschitlaz]

will there be another country round in the T20s this year?

Yep, 1st T20 is country round

Disappointing.

Considering the amount of effort put in by the local clubs to host the match and the Grade clubs to get out there, it should be a one dayer IMO.

Nice idea in theory, but 2-3 hours travel each way on top of 6 hours of cricket backing up after playing on a Saturday is a tough ask of the players. A T20 is much less taxing on the players and gives them more of a chance to actually hang around for a beer or two with the locals after the game before heading home. If anything the first WE Cup game of the season (i.e. 1st Oct) would be best suited to country round but then the struggle might be to have decent wickets and outfield available so soon after footy.

Good points.
I'ts not often we get to see cricket of that standard though. Quite a few of the spectators at the game in Berri last season mentioned that they would have liked to see more cricket played. I know our club is very keen to promote games such as this with the locals.

[bulldogproud2]

Just realised that Round One is on a normal weekend. The public holiday is on Monday October 1. Will be a bit tough having the full weekend match with no recovery day - bummer re the timing of the public holiday this year.
Cheers

Rips, you can be assured that the Bulls are pulling out all stops to try and get up there. We have the bye in R2 and are working with your heirachy as to the best way for us to come up on the weekend of the 13th October, play a bit of cricket on the Saturday, socialise on the Sat night, our boys like an ale or two, but after seeing the Berri boys at the Country Carnival next year at the Bull ring, we stand no chance in that contest, then a junior training session on the Sunday at 3 or 4 centres. We will see what develops over the next few weeks.

Yeah, I heard the boys were in full flight. I'm not sure if Shaun Riley would have been that impressed with them though!
I played a couple of days later in the week and it damn near killed me, the after hours stuff anyway.
Keep me posted re the 13th, sounds really good.

[Slots It Through]

Can anyone confirm if Hughes has signed anywhere, or is he still waiting for more cash to be thrown at him?

Season starts in a month doesnt it?
