Glenelg were in the T20 finals of every senior grade yesterday. Most of their two day teams doing alright. Just won the U17s.

Good club all round.

As are West Torrens for what it's worth.

Plenty of other better candidates out there to pot!

Nick Benton apparently injured himself in the semi final yesterday. After taking 7/37 the day before! Not sure how bad but he wasn't even able to play as a batter in the final. Big loss if he's out for a while.

Did you see the celebration?

Another young up and coming batsman has pulled the plug I'm hearing? Somewhere out west...

It's an epidemic. It used to be that grade cricket couldn't retain the older players!

Just heard that his knee locked up

Was it during a wicket celebration? Wow...

The 20/20 games yesterday looked to be very high quality games. 190 odd each in the final shows the standard is high.

Couple of delicately poised games

East Torrens 6/110 chasing Prospect's 218. Young gun Ryan King 30* - stands in the way of the first Pirate win!

TTG 6/146 chasing Woodville's 247. Tim Davey the remaining not out batsman.

Update

ET 7/138. King 54*. Chasing 218

TTG 6/177. Davey 49*. Chasing 247.

Could be an interesting finish at Henley as well?

WT 2/178 chasing Sturt's 6/353 dec.

Guessing there is about 36 overs to go. Drew just joined Smith (67*) at the crease. Capel out for 99.

Game on at TTG!

9 down, 10 to win. Davey 80 but out. Nos 10 and 11 in.

Pirates winners. Youngster Jasper Darley five wickets. Bowls alright. Surprised he hasn't played more.

Gullies winners 9 down. Have a knack for getting out of jail like that

Eagles need 123 off 24 overs, still two down

Draw in Sturt v West Torrens

Ladder has tightened up a bit with Uni and Glenelg losing.

Means 3rd and 4th spots are open to a few clubs.

Tony Clifton · Post by **Tony Clifton** » Sun Jan 27, 2019 11:47 am

Realistically down to six teams.

1st Kensington 165
2nd Tea Tree Gully 150
3rd University 120*
4th Glenelg 120*

5th Sturt 110
6th Adelaide 105
7th East Torrens 85*
8th Port Adelaide 80
9th West Torrens 70

* Bye to come

Uni and Glenelg vulnerable now.

Adelaide vs Sturt in Round 12. Reckon the winner there will sneak in.

Nick Benton to play out the season as a bat only. Most likely makes it difficult for Port now...

Their bowling is getting pretty thin as Jordan Thomas has been battling with injuries too
