You obviosly have no idea about the SCA or the sides that play in it!!
I am not going to get into who is a better comp as I see lads that play ASCA that make your association side that couldnt get a game in NCC B grade side FACT!
Yes there is quality cricketers within the SCA and Cove have many as do Noarlunga/Kangies/MVale/Seaford/and Porties and if you ever have watched ANY of these play each other you would be watching some quality cricket. It is not the standard but the lack of participation that is the problem and if we loose more clubs it becomes difficult for many reasons.
This issue about Cove is not about them or me or NCC it is about loosing History and possibly one of the strongest comps in the Adelaide area folding!!! SAD very sad and to see the players that have been involved in our comp over the years like Kinner,Baggs,Charmans,Green,Bilney,Roberts,and could go on. It is now about lads like the Ross boys the Carlyes the Thorpes Irvines,Frush who have watched there farthers play and is now there turn to make history as them before have,so where to for them!
I recall this year sitting with one of the best cricketers to play in the SCA Travis Bahr and watching a lad that had just turned 16 stroll to the wicket to face Brett Kinner(a name that has so much history in this comp) Brett zipped one around his ears only to see it fly over the club roof and in that moment there was some much history with these names that could be lost!
I might add the wise head gave the kid a slow one and sent him back to the shed.
SCA gone I and for all that have played before me hope not!
