David St. Stubbings moving on? He's well regarded. Could have got a SACA coaching role maybe?

SACA job minimising time, only concentrating on A Grade rather than whole club

So on SEEK, Adelaide Uni advertising for a Cricket Director role paying $40-60k per year. What an absolute joke!

You have to wonder what they are paying their coaches and players. Fact they can use University money for this stuff is a disgrace. How they can entice players by paying their HECS debt is crap.

Other clubs are not competing on the same levels. The sooner they kick them out of the comp the better. The fact Tom Plant would have got a $20k bonus if they won the Club Championship last year sums up the money they are paying.

Most Clubs will really feel the affect of SACA funding being halved, while Uni will be laughing all the way to the bank. What a farce!

They certainly do MC, have people in very high places! I know when we were going thru our battle few years ago to survive, we must have made some comment re Uni and got a threatening legal letter from Adam Kimber - the DPP at the time, highest legal person in the system.

Played on almost all these ovals, but my opinion will be out of date...

Main ovals:
5 - University (loved it was close to Adel Oval, the church bells, the old scoreboard which kept your score and the nice outfield).
4 - Henley Oval (a bit biased, nice sea breeze, never too hot)
3 - Woodville Oval
2 - Parkinson Oval
1 - Salisbury Oval

Second Ovals
5 - Unley Oval (better than Price)
4 - Henley High (better than Henley Oval to play on)
3 - St Clair
2 - Camden
1 - University #2

Not on the list of candidates but happened to drive past Karen Rolton Oval yesterday and noticed light towers going up. Hopefully some day/night grade matches /T20s can have the opportunity to play?

I won't vote for Second Ovals... unfair as I haven't experienced all of them.

Are SD no longer playing in the picturesque surrounds of Christies Beach HS? Who plays at Adelaide HS? AHS was a good ground in ATCA with decent pitch, outfield and change rooms. Better than most premier 2nd grounds IMO.

If the under 16's are using this ground it is the biggest joke of all time. This ground the only way to score is to hit the ball in the air due to the infield and outfield being so thick.

The wicket is horrific.

if you were a young kid why would you play for SD if you had to play on this every second game go down the road and play for Reynella. this ground was a joke and when they pulled it from the C's and D;s I thought that SACA finally listened to all the complaints - but instead its a junior ground give me a break.
There has to be a better ground in the area - and i haven't even started on limited shade and facilities!! the WORST ground I've ever played cricket at in 20+ yearts of playing!

The wicket is good now

Outfield though still much too long as you said. And yes, the amenities...!

Pretty sure Reynella's No 2 oval is at Woodcroft College which is also a very nice ground. Shame Southerns couldn't get hold of it. Has a hard wicket adjacent too so they could have had U16s and U14s next to each other in a nice setting.
