South are going to rename Carlunga I mean Noarlunga Oval
to be Hickinbotham Oval.

I need some clarification on the name:
Is it named after Alan Hickinbotham?
Or named after 2 ex English test cricketers, or am i 'behind' the times! :D

Excellent idea, this way people won't confuse Windy Hill with the real Noarlunga Oval on Patapinda Rd.

Alan Lickingbottom, he used to play for them a fair while back. Now owns Hickinbotham Homes on North Terrace, along with sons David & Michael. Bloody nice bloke but, bloody hell, talks a lot!

Hasn't it been named Hickenbotham Oval all year? I remember reading the South website around March and the fixture listed that as the oval's name. :?
