I think mixed thing is just to do with the new play HQ system they use for registrations. Each grade would need a template for who can be registered eg Boys, Girls or Mens, Womens or Mixed. So I think it's just a case of mixed is an option to play in that grade but not actually the association promoting it. It does the same thing with footy.

Fair enough that makes sense.

Hell of a season shaping up in the stanley A grade. No byes, 15 games!

Lower north will be lower north

Blyth Kybunga have picked up a couple of PNG national players and Henry Warner and Luke Ramsey return for depth. Will Pratt and Chirat are both under an injury cloud before Christmas, but I think the youth should be able to cover until then. C Pratt, Warner, Altman and BiggsX2 all under 19 and will push for regular spots being another year older.

Brinky have Mills and MollerX 2 returning but would still have to feel the pinch of Steele and Weich hanging up the bat and gloves respectively. Jack Weckert under a cloud now he’s living/working in Bute and they are fielding an A grade?

Sevenhill are my dark horse. Loved their young quicks last year! Still have quality in Scotty and Porto.

Heard nothing on clare?

Have no time for Watervale

Agree Sevenhill will be one of the teams to watch...have got some game time into the young lads who should improve again. I know there was some doubt as to whether Stuart Pike would play but his confirmed he will be going around again.

What's the standard of a PNG national player....... I'm guessing there not in the Steddall, McPharlin bracket but better than the average player.

A lot better than we thought!
JD will be close to the best bowler in the comp and the batsmen will probably push Riley for the batting trophy!

JD is lighting quick of 10 paces with a simple action and super accurate. Will be without a doubt the quickest in the comp, only a fit jonesy on GF will come close I’d say.

Don't reckon Jonesy will play.

He was complaining of a bodgey shoulder for a fair while this year but who knows? Could get inspired :D

Ryan McPharlin is playing golf.

Good to see Hosea McPharlin playing some A1 cricket. Quite a handy seam bowler in the A2s last year.

Glad to see Sevenhill get a real tidy win first up with Potto in the runs. Not sure they will be there on the final day but with the likes of Potto, Scotty K, Stewie Pike and a few young good kids should be aiming for finals at minimum.
