Yep, all the talk is that Galletly is the new Nathan Ritter. Lot to live up to.

[WestIndiesWonder24]

He does sometimes bowl legside trash so One box tipped there.....

[Offcutter]

isn't that the ONLY box?

[Jimmy Recard]

massive games this week for a few sides...

Aldinga V McLaren - Just about do or die for Mclaren. Lose this they are in all sorts... Although i do enjoy seeing McLaren down the bottom of the ladder I expect Mclaren to show some real fight and get over Aldinga in a tight match!

Mt Compass Gold V Pt Elliot - MCG looking a shadow of their former team at the present time and will need to show some real fight to turn back last games dismal performance. After seeing Pt Elliot first hand, don't rate them at all and will be suprised if they finish higher than 7th at the end of the year. MCG should knock them off.

Mt Compass Maroon V Willunga - Willunga although missing 3 players from last weeks game will go into this game as favorites. With S Peek the number one batsman in the comp in red hot form, coming off 102 last game, i expect the dees will have too much fire power with both bat and ball and take care of MCM easily. S Binns providing the only real danger.

Goolwa V Enc Bay - This will probably be the game of the round as both teams are in need of a win. Goolwa coming off a big loss and enc bay coming off a rained out match will both be raring to go! Goolwa boasts to have the best batting line up in the comp, and their probably right... on their day, too inconsistent to be a real contender i feel and will have to work hard against the number one opening duo in Butler and Lintern! With the before mentioned outs for goolwa i feel Enc Bay will be too strong and should win!

ill put my tips in for once .Encounter bay to beat goolwa ...bailey out, evans broken finger nail should be close ebay to win
....Willunga to beat maroons ...tipping peak for another big score willunga easy
Port Elliot to beat golds... after a noble effort without a few key players elliot to bounce back with a win against a rather depleted golds side....and Aldinga to beat Mclaren vale.... Aldinga beating "on paper" the best team in the league rather easily i recon they will back it up against vale..... good luck boys

Galletly is a sensible, mature and well balanced person who gives his best.

[Yoda JR]

surley, ritter is an absolute gun

[that kidd.....]

from what i saw the 21's was a good hit out, a good bunch of boys who had a good time from what i saw. Good cheer squad by the loose goolwa boys in scotty mcphee (who was in fine form) and a few others. Highlights of the day was young Hamish robertsons Moe, was just pure class!!!!

[HappyWanderer]

can someone (Rocky, JR, WIW, Chop) give me some clarification please.
If a club has excess numbers in the low grades and can't fit them all in to get a game (continuosly), can the club ring up neighbouring clubs to see if there's a vacancy or is it a case of registered players stay where there regisered. Which means loss of inerest = loss of players.

[Yoda.jr]

Encounter Bay to beat Goolwa- Goolwa with 2 key players Evans and Bailey out, Encounter Bay are just all class

MCG to beat Port Elliot- Golds should bounce back from there loss last week to Maroons and Golds boosted with big enclusion of R.Martin

Willunga to beat Maroons- Willunga 2 good 4 Maroons

Aldinga to beat Mclaren Vale- Aldinga looking in good form with Boyd Miller at the batting crease and vale have good youngsters that if get going are hard to stop but Aldinga in a close one

yes i agree

[Shredders Ghost]

Can anyone explain how R. Martin made it into the Gold team? And also why is Shane Brown still in it?
What the hell is going on at Compass?

This can not be done as now we are under this mycricket programe,as it is computer based players have to be reg. with club and if they play for another club the computer goes heywire as i am led to believe,but i am all in favour of players not getting a game to play for another club from week to week,or we could have a combined c grade side in the ass. made up of players from other clubs ,will take alot of planning but could work.

[HappyWanderer]

Cheers Rocky, Same answer as i got last night. Didn't want to believe it was true but obviously that's the ruling. Pretty sad to see blokes who train not getting a go. Maybe the club could look at playing all 15 or 16 players over the 2 week period. At least that will keep people interested a little bit.

PS Chopper & Rob Martin are Guns. Sorry Rob for putting you in the same sentence as Chopper.

[smithy]

Would that be the chopper from Mclaren ?

your concerns are spot on there hw. we lose alot of players to this great game already, through work, family commitments, beach etc. we cant afford to lose players by not giving them a go. we need something like an invitation x1 in one of the c grades so excess players can make up that team every week.

Yep Smithy thats the one, although he's now at Compass. Been there for a while now and is the president. He hasn't changed too much since his glory days in the Southern Cricket Association.

Is this a problem many clubs face? A lot of lower grade teams seem to struggle to get the numbers and end up relying on juniors to fill up the spots. Would be a shame to see people quitting cricket through not getting a go when other clubs are struggling for numbers. Perhaps in the future the league could use the my cricket site so clubs could list players on a friday night/ saturday morning who haven't been selected so that other clubs might pick them. I'm sure it would cause arguments but whilst competition is good, the role of the league and clubs should be to provide a team for people to play the game regardless of standards, abilities and results.
