From what i've heard tonight on the grapevine...The draw has been done and Mt Compass will have 2 A grade sides to cover for the bye n make it a 8 team A Grade comp!!! With the #1 side being Mt Compass GOLD and the #2 side being Mt Compass Maroon!!! Is this true? Rocky as an executive u would be able to answer this i'm sure... Also what are the match-ups for RD1?

[words of wisdom]

Never did i say that Tommo should play B grade,that is a joke if he did,all i was saying that how is Myponga going to help these young kids along by haveing there clubs best player leaving as he did not want to play in a team that gets belted week in week out ,Myponga if was made to play A grade would struggle but all clubs go through this at some stage ,as for us merging with port elliot was a way for both clubs to play A grade sides ,so i dont think that is a bad thing if anything we would not have an A grade side now if we didnt do it then,If your club has no A grade side then that is the start of the end for any club.

If he stayed at Pongy what grade would he be playing this year??

As for these young players, who are they? Fags was the youngest at 26..

We have merged with Yank before & won a flag but they only have a C grade these days.

Maybe the Gsca should get with the times & have all one dayers. Maybe cricket may take off again or it could follow the same path as the Southern league....

When we went back to Goolwa A grade we had 7 guys under 20 and have just missed out on finals by half a game every year,not saying this would happen with Myponga but it is very hard to get an A grade side if u drop out,The GSCA is going along well Yank and Victor are not far away from putting an A grade side in ,think by 2011 you will see these to clubs back in A grade then with Port Elliot back in this year the comp is looking good,most clubs have A,B &C this year and 16,14 &u/12 ,some sides like us have A,B,and 2 C,16 ,14,and 26 kids in u/12,The GSCA did look at playing mostly one dayers in the lower grades but most clubs voted against it as Cgrade only play 4 two dayers anyway and this year there is a seperate 20/20 comp run in January ,SO things look to be going along just fine.

[damian]

I haven't been involved with the GSCA for too long, but i think it is quie a healthy competition, particularly numbers wise. Very difficult through summer to get guys to commit to standing in the sun for 4 hours when the beach is around the corner. Clubs are great to be around and that is what's keeping these guys interested.

[Inch by Inch..]

Rocky, i think you will find that McLaren would have one of the youngest A grade sides? they had last year atleast 4 players 18 and under and a 19 year old and a few early 20s, they were a strong team and will be set for years to come. Onto Willunga we have a few young recruits our self, young Chad will make his way back at the demons after a year at southerns D grade. Elliot will be pretty handy also this year, compass GOLD would be around the mark with a close to bottom Maroon side i feel.

[the red baron]

As defending champions , plus the inclusion of tomlinson id say compass gold will be the side to beat again this season. Hopefully their second A grade will be competitive at times, but i agree i would expect them to be closer to the bottom than top. Having an 8 team comp is the end result with 7 two dayers and 5 one dayers plus i believe there is a 20/20 comp going on? Does anyone know the rd 1 draw yet?

[Ramadash]

sorry lads been a bit absent from this site for a while
1 * mt compass have two A grades? shouldn't they have two evenly personelled teams.
2 * Is elliot in A grade this year because you could graze your heard of sheep on their oval at the momment. went past today.
3 * kingsley on exect commitee, would have rather rockyb!! ha ha
4 * does any one really know where Andy evans is playing (or abusing/sledging/captaining).

1) yes compass should have two teams around the same talent, will be stupid them putting another team in if they dont, pongy may aswell have been forced to make a team otherwise.

2)pretty sure elliot are having a team but wont be competitive tho! maybe at times but rarley, will need new recruits robertson and kuss to star for the team if they are to have a good year.

3)much rathered rocky b on the commitee, his personal opinion, voice, and leadership is what the gsca needs on the commitee!

4) andy evans, well does anyone know what he is doing? heard he's staying at goolwa or playing for either willunga, bays, elliot or even the world XI not to sure but think we'll see him lined up for the bays

ive heard word that he has packed up his gear and relocated around the pt. lincoln area.

[Dr Tellall]

heard willunga had a gun recruit but Serge Winot scared him off

[Jimmy Recard]

It is very funny how you all think that ROCKB is Kingsley Vincent,if only you all knew who he was ,that is what this site is for i suppose to keep you all guessing ,and Kingsley is on this site but he is not RockyB ,sorry kings but it is time they all found out,and for Rockb very funny but you are giving him a bad name.

what are you trying to achieve with this comment??? Lets get onto some cricket talk... only one week till first round!!! any1 know the match ups yet? also how are everyones ovals looking... Willunga was top soiled at the start of the week and as a result is a beach, will be fairly slow out there for the first few rounds!

Be interested in some scores and feedback on the day from some Goolwa lads on their pre-season hit against Port Noarlunga.
Not sure how full strength either side will be in the A's but hopefully a good day in the right spirit is had by all.

[ROCKYB]

Both sides had a mix of A,B and C playing with Goolwa only having two bowlers all day rest C and u/14 ,had them 5 173 ,in return Goolwa 6 runs short ,but great day all round,not bad for a day only with min organise,there bowlers only Band C graders but got the job done,think if Goolwa had all bowlers we would of had them out for below 100,would of been good to had there A grade against our but being a long weekend players away last week before games start was a fair go.

[ROCKYB]

Goolwa had 6 A graders not playing by the way,think about the same with Porties,what no. did u bat smithy

[the red baron]

How many did Luke Giddings make ? He could be the difference whether Goolwa play finals or not!!

I couldn't make it and it seems it might be harder for me to get out and have a hit this season anyway.
Glad it was all played in good spirits though and a good day had by all.

[W.P.U.J.C.Vaas]
