Eight clubs. The stand alone clubs all pick up a bit of territory. The clubs in bold already have women's teams so only two to go.
Uni miss out. Can join their football teams who don't play SANFL.
Country zones allocated as well:
TTG/ET get Riverland, Murray Towns CA and Torrens Valley CA
PA/Wdv get Eyre Peninsula and Upper North

SACA have made it clear that geography is not a factor in a decision on the future make-up of premier cricket. Argument being the state team has been less successful since outer metro teams have been involved.Tony Clifton wrote:If you go by the points of the compass in the city then things work out thusly:

Some clubs may put time and effort into their local clubs, but others certainly don't and don't deserve the local kids being zoned or loyal .

Surely if you go through big changes like this you plan for things being run better. That's the whole point. What's been done previously hasn't worked. Rather than carrying forward rifts and pettiness from yesteryear (or inattention) like jilted lovers

He's just stating a fact.
Zero presence in their zone.

Its not a relationship that local clubs need to repair. Instead how about they engage with their community and then they might gain some support and respect.

Yes it just bucketed down and more rain forecast for tomorrow morning. Even though the pitches are covered I wouldn't be surprised if some get called off due to wet surrounds (i.e. bowlers' run ups etc.).

Would there be covers on Unley Oval?

If there are at best it would be just the pitch only. I'd be surprised if the whole square was covered given it is Sturt 3rds and 4ths that play there. The 1sts at Price memorial would have the whole square covered but depends on the surrounds whether any play would happen, which would be a shame as it would be a good contest between Kensi and Sturt.

There's that open mind and forward thinking that makes SA cricket great!
*If* premier cricket goes through its biggest ever upheaval and multiple clubs get forcibly merged, resources are pooled in greater concentration at fewer clubs... then you'd hope that they'd run better. Things done wrong previously start being done properly.
However if even after all that there are stakeholders holding grudges from previous years and don't see this as an opportunity to start afresh then sheesh, let's cancel the sport.
Likewise if grade clubs who have had poor/non-existent relationships with their zones and ended up struggling and merging as a result carry on in the exact same way then we're stuffed as well.
