If the comp is that much of a joke, don't coach in it!

[Tony Clifton]

Is swearing off the field even a penalty? But for the Frogbox microphone no one would have heard anything. I wonder if Live stream telecast counts as an audible obscenity?

A test case for the Saca competition managers!

I did hear that a coach got peeved off at an lbw decision on Sunday and hopped in his car and went home

First ball of that over - dot ball to Piggott - appeal for LBW. Hit him on the toe, must've been VERY close.. is that part of the reason for the blow up end of game?

Looked to be sliding down. Left arm around the wicket is very hard to get an LBW from that position.

Possible dropped catch in the previous over, judging by some of the fielders reactions afterwards.

May have been the pitch more than anything.

Day 1 was an under prepared green monster and day 2 was prepared like a major highway.

West Torrens won the toss and batted

Strange decision

Waiting for WT supporters to again find excuses for their coaches behaviour on the weekend.

Sorry Champ, can't help you on coach's behaviour, been interstate.

Given that you haven't named the coach(Mark Harrity), I gather you are ok to hide behind your name ' Port Pirie Power' as a 'keyboard warrior" and make negative comments about him indirectly. Yes, people defend Hags because the amount of good he has done in the world, far outweighs the times he goes over the top. He would be the first to admit that he doesn't want to lose it, as he did on the video, none of us are perfect and it would be good if you and your like, could get off your high horse and find something positive to talk about. As he continues to manage that part, for 99% of the time he is doing brilliant stuff. Hags has helped many, many young kids, many of them from other clubs.The outcomes from that are often life changing for those young men and women.

He is an outstanding human and coach, go and have a chat with him and you might change your tune. The world is full of people sitting in judgement, the great thing about sport is people can forget all that negativity and work together to achieve success as a club and as individuals. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

Well said Hags!

Really though, cricket is such a technical / strategic game that has many ups and downs within the space of a few overs let alone a game, it's hard when you're passionate and driven not to get emotionally invested. So he wasn't happy with the loss and said some choice words - no one got hurt, who cares.. I'd think the footage of Ryan King kicking the stumps over when he got out before xmas was far worse that a verbal tirade from the coach of WT.

I have no doubt how great he is for the cricket community and I have a huge amount of respect for him from everything I've seen and heard about him.

Unfortunately it's the way of the world mate, regardless of how much good you do, you root one goat and the whole town knows about it and judges you.

Thomas Kelly playing 2nd Grade for Sturt today. A handy inclusion. Unlucky Prospect!

West Torrens and Tea Tree Gully fight out a draw. TTG batted on another 10 overs today and perhaps needed to. Wicket must have been very flat. WT cruised to 6/280 even with Smith and Drew missing out.

Big chase by Adelaide. Hauled in 1st placed Sturt's 303 and puts them in 4th.

Kensington outright winners over Port.

Glenelg a comfortable win over University. Bays stay in touch with the top four. They're too good to miss out you'd think.

The new Divisional structure certainly gives more meaning to the games as the season goes on. Usually by this stage half the teams were done in terms of being able to make finals and with no consequences of finishing bottom, the season could peter out.

A huge win for Adelaide to give Sturt their first 2-day loss since that loss to Woodville in the final round of 2022/23 that sent them to Div 2.

Sturt, Tea Tree Gully and Kensington looking the goods. Adelaide, Glenelg and West Torrens in the zone where a win gives a genuine tilt at finals and a loss has them looking over their shoulder at relegation. Glenelg and West Torrens both have tough runs home which gives Port and Uni a chance if they can string a few wins together.

What's Junior age group cut off? Is it 38 or 39? Is it based on location of match, or Adelaide?

What's Junior age group cut off? Is it 38 or 39? Is it based on location of match, or Adelaide?

38 degrees for Juniors according to the By-Laws/Playing Conditions

I think it is in theory based on temperature in your area via the BOM app if I remember correctly.

[The Bedge]

Thanks so if it was at West Beach you'd go off that temp?

[Insider_Trading]

I think that is the go yes.

Try not to quote me on it on the day though!

What a load of gack that would be, surely it would just be Adelaide, a game could go ahead could go ahead at Marion but not at Unley?
