Adelaide Plains Football League

[Lightning McQueen]

I loved it, had some backpackers camping on the other side too who looked a bit worse for wear.

As someone who has played all his life in the city, I am completely envious of the atmosphere and condition of country grounds.

I know exactly what you mean.

Yeah, there's quite often campers set up there, I've heard it's free for them to camp.

Neville Still runs around at training with the boys, probably the best kick on both feet in the comp so wouldn't surprise me

Wondering how the junior numbers are stacking up this year. Will each club have both U14 & U17? Last few years has been a bit of a disaster with bye rounds and forfeits.

Has there been forfeits?
I do think that there is some number issues this season but I don't recall any forfeits beforehand, a few times where there's been some top ups from the other team though.

Forfeits is probably the wrong word. Moreso when some sides didn't have the pre-requisite numbers to start a game and players swapped at the begininng. Anyhow, just wondering if all clubs will be able field teams. There has be a general decline in junior numbers over the years and a lot of work to encourage kids to play. Is it working?
