Surely there has to be finals to qualify for First Division, this makes no sense to me.
West Torrens have 4 players consistently playing first class cricket and then K Smith, B Capel
and H Manenti who are playing second X1, two of those have played first class.
Without getting into the inner workings of each club, I cannot see of what benefit it is
to have 2 clubs who have been arguably the 2 of the strongest clubs in the state over the last
ten years being at risk of playing second division due to there being no qualifying games
to move to first division.
How is this helping improve cricket in South Australia?
Obviously am biased, but absolutely agree with this post 100%.
FWIW, I don’t think Kensy will finish bottom two, they will get their crap together and do enough to get out of bottom two.
Not so confident with WT though, the outright over Woodville was very handy and totally unexpected. With their guns all out, have a very ordinary side. Will somehow need to jag two wins from next seven matches which could be tough.
System now does not support developing young talent for this State, it encourages you to spend huge money on recruits and forfeit your Ray Sutton team How that helps the Redbacks get off the bottom I have no idea!
Or your 4th Grade, I guess.....
Explained that several times already, not going over that again. Your obsession with West Torrens is concerning
Appears a few 1st Grade games called off tomorrow already, unexpected early rain caused havoc? Would assume these games have to be re programmed, only really next Sunday available?
If you're a bit cricket starved today, tune into the end of TTG v WT 2nd grade. WT need 6 to win, 9 down. Last wicket fell with about 20 odd runs needed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzBv8I5a2c0
Update: last over, 1 run needed.
2nd update: looked like a dropped catch at a 1.5 slip, WT win. Great finish.
Both the Glenelg batsmen, Winter and McInerney, are having good seasons on the back of some Premier Cricket in Queensland prior to our season starting. If they can keep that form through to Feb when the Shield starts again, they'd deserve a chance.
Interesting situation in an Under 17 Twenty20 last week
Friday night game and a fair bit of rain around / on its way. Heard that the teams agreed to make it a 10/10 to give them the best chance of fitting the game in and not getting washed out. They played the match but SACA ruled afterwards that teams can't do a "pre-emptive" reduced overs match. So I think it was recorded as a draw
This is Tony Clifton! A name to respect! A name to fear!

Quarter Finals of the T20 comp just completed at the Karen Rolton complex. Northern Districts beat Woodville in a Super Over to make it to a Semi-Final match up with West Torrens, who defeated Kensington. Top of the table Glenelg defeated University and take on Port Adelaide, who beat Sturt, in the other Semi Final this afternoon.
How that helps the Redbacks get off the bottom I have no idea!
