Australian Country Championships for both Men and Women are on in the Barossa from Jan 3-10,
Interestingly Trinity Oval is being used for some matches but Sandy Creek, South Gawler, Willaston and Gawler Central are not. Besides Sandy Creek being too small, Its probably a council issue with the Gawler clubs. SACA and Barossa council are quite cosy and to a lesser extent the Light council which has a few matches at Greenock, Kapunda and Eudunda and even a match at Mallala. I dare say there is absolutely no relationship at all between SACA and Gawler council since the Gawler council hasnt put a cent into local facilities in a very long time and despite all the development in Gawler in the last 30 years they have not built one new oval. The Gawler clubs struggle for a 2nd oval for their lower grade teams having to use places like Wasleys and Roseworthy. Seems the Gawler council is happy to take rates but not provide community facilities in line with their growth.
Looks like there is matches every day at Tanunda, Nuri and Angaston, i believe this was more a council stipulation than the clubs wanting them everyday.
