Read across some other forums that Fitzroy are headed to PDCA and that Enfield were pitching a move to ASCA?
Talk is that a club has put in a request to change the section 10 competition to exclusively one day cricket. I don't think we should be looking to alter the integrity of a section. If short form is the preference, there are 3 T20 divisions ready to be filled.
I've pitched a suggested change to the schedule in the past and it does seem that it will continue to be a point of conjecture. Anyone have any ideas?
Yup Fitzroy officially gone to PDCA.
Apparently it is Flagstaff Hill pushing for one day games in Section 10.
Proposed to have big fines in place if a club nominates a team and then pulls out partway in to the season

I'm a section 10 player, and I'm against changing the format. Flagstaff Hill can go and get stuffed

Well considering they are one of the clubs who pulled a team out last season
As much as I would like us to just be playing one day cricket exclusively I don't want to see our competition compromised because one team in Section 10 just wants to play one day cricket. Our competition is fair and equal with the 7 and 7 format and is one of the competitions strengths IMO.

I think if you want to play one day cricket, go find a comp that is solely that.
I love the format that ASCA offers. Have always played 2 day cricket in previous comps involved in
I think the current format is ideal. Gives everyone a bit of variety. But to be taken seriously, if you're going to propose a motion at the AGM, at least get the Associations name right.
Agreed with Keefy. There are many options available for those who want to play exclusively one day cricket. Preserving longer format cricket is something the ASCA executive should prioritise.
St.Johns section 4 North Haven section 8 Warradale section 10
Interesting, what information makes you think this or are you just making it up as you go along?
We haven't even discussed what sections our teams will be in as a committee yet and more than likely our grades will just play where the association put us (which should be 2, 4 and 7).

So who has details on the section 1 club who is wanting to move down, and the 3 section 2 sides who don’t want to go up? It sounded like a section 3 side was also not willing to shuffle up the grades either.
Very steep suggestion for Sutton-Derby to join the competition and immediately be placed in to Section 1 based on talk of where some of their players have played in the past.

No idea what records the association has kept prior to MyCricket but if you played pre that era I'd say you're out of luck unless the club keeps its own records. Between MyCricket and then PlayHQ there wouldn't be a single source anywhere.
We built our own database 15 odd years ago, without it we'd be screwed.
Another thing that is apparent after last nights AGM is that there will continue to be a review in to the viability of the 7+7 Saturday format. The format continues to be voted in year on year, but the last few years an alternate has been presented and voted upon at the AGM.
I've taken a bit of time to break down a way that I believe the association could look like in coming years, leveraging the ATCA format of all two day cricket for one side of their competition, and all limited overs for another.
I've taken the ladders from the previous season (I've probably left some clubs/sides in that may not actually be around for this season, I'm sure they could be replaced by other sides that will be around), and come up with 6 8 team Two Day sections:
S1 Coromandel Ramblers Sheidow Park ICC Sharks Western Youth Centre Keswick Coromandel Plympton Footballers Port Noarlunga
S2 Cove Morphettville Park North Haven Mitchell Park Kenilworth Happy Valley Sutton-Derby St John's OS
S3 Phantoms Port Noarlunga II Cove II Keswick II Coromandel II Coromandel Ramblers II Sheidow Park II ICC Sharks II
S4 Southern Adelaide Falcons Plympton Footballers II North Haven II South Road Morphettville Park II Western Youth Centre II South Park
S5 Happy Valley II Kenilworth II Southern Warriors II ICC Sharks III Mitchell Park II Morphettville Park III Adelaide Lutheran II Phantoms II
S6 Kenilworth III Coromandel IV Sheidow Park IV Grand Masters II North Haven III Mitchell Park IV Warradale II Flagstaff Hill II
Playing dates would be as follows (just using 2023/24 dates as an example of how it could work):
Along with this, we would have two 12 team Limited Overs sections:
LO1 Ceylon Strikers Flagstaff Hill Warradale Sheidow Park III Coromandel III Coromandel Ramblers III Morphett Vale Grand Masters Mitchell Park III Southern Warriors Afghan Keswick III
LO2 Morphettville Park IV Southern II ICC Sharks IV Sheidow Park V Plympton Footballers III Port Noarlunga III Coromandel V Happy Valley III South Road II Western Youth Centre III Coromandel Ramblers IV Mitchell Park V
Our T20 competition could run alongside these comps and run on the below dates:
04/11 07/11 14/11 21/11 28/11 05/12 12/12 19/12
FINALS 20/01 21/01
This format allows for a few weekends of Saturday cricket off, or that can be filled by T20 fixtures (which is something that had been flagged by a number of clubs as a painpoint). Fixture allows for every team to play eachother atleast once, and I believe after each team has faced once the fixture could be TBA and arranged so those teams that are close to eachother on the ladder could then be scheduled to face off and add stakes to later season matches.
I think this could be a viable option, rather than just having the lower sections become one day cricket. Some clubs may rather opt to have their top side play one day cricket and field their second team in the lower two day competitions.
Cross section slashing may need to become a requirement to make this work aswell, but would need to cross that bridge if it came to it.
Just putting another idea out there in the ether. Let's see if this one cops a bit more feedback from you lads!
Where are they based? And what does the name mean?
New club that was founded by a self-proclaimed legend of cricket. Check out their Facebook page, i've never seen more self-love and admiration in my life. Good luck to them.
I think they will be wanting to use a ground at Victoria Park
