whats the story with the U21 team? who do they play and whats the standard like? i hear training starts tonight

Yes training starts tonite at Adelaide Oval. Jeff Rogerson is the coach of the ATCA U21 team and he does a fantastic job. This is his third year and he always works hard to ensure he gets a good side to represent ATCA. A couple of years ago he and Wayne Phillips organised for the ATCA U21s to play the SACA U17s on Adelaide Oval No. 2.
They play for the SAMCA Cup and are scheduled to play 3 games against PDCA, Adelaide & Suburban and Churches and Community. The last two years Churches & Community haven't got an U21 team up, but hopefully that changes this year. Standard is pretty good. There isn't a lot between the 3 teams that have competed in the last two years - some very good cricketers

Is it a true indication of the best U21 cricketers in ATCA? Or is it the same as the open age ATCA team where quite often not the best players in the comp play (often due to not making themselves available)?

I would say it's the best available team ATCA can put together. All clubs were given plenty of advance notice about upcoming training sessions. If individuals opt not to participate then that's their call. Not much you can do about it although Jeff is pretty proactive in chasing talent. I'm sure PDCA, Adelaide & Suburban and Churches & Community are in same boat. At the end of the day the standard of cricket in Under 21's last few years has been pretty good.

Another washout for Blewy.....???
With respect to them, you really don't want a complete washout against Gepps at the moment Plumb...

No we don't. the way it's looking at the moment, there is going to be a tight squeeze of about 8 or 9 clubs fighting for the top four, so every win is crucial.

Will Gepps Cross win a game this year?

My tip is that Blewett will fail.

IO is that the same Beazleigh playing for you guys that played at Gepps and Two Wells?

No mention of the past players day at the club on Sat mate? Might have to make an appearance, would want to see some cricket going on though.

Definately head up mate. From what I'm hearing it should be a good day, plenty of old faces making an appearance.

Bally has quite a few connections with other clubs also (Gepps, Modbury). We haven't had him for a few seasons, so no doubt he has used his influence to get this game, but trust me, he has never been kind to the Hills. If anything he is quite the opposite. Gadey usually umpires in the northern suburbs as you would know, and is always fair. I guess there aren't too many umpires around that don't have an affiliation with a club.......................but it does look suss!

Well roll up, roll up, everyone get down to Para Hills cricket club tomorrow from midday as they allegedly look to showcase a carnival event and bring together the local community for the very best of the 80's on and off the field. On the field there will be the finest 'senior' cricketers which have rumoured to have brought the average age of the A's to 47.
There is allegedly a sunglass stand to help with the glare around. Hairdressers and Beauty shops are rumoured to be in full swing and on standby for any grey's or wrinkles that players or people would like help with.
There is allegedly free entry into the bingo throughout the day for every senior spectator along with cups of tea and biscuits, eyes down at 1pm, 3pm and 5pm.
And lets not forget the Para Hills community club which promises to be a night to remember for every senior who will be rocking and dancing away to JJR.
Well im off to the Modbury Plaza for lunch, come say hi as i look to take down the Dolphin Treasure machine at 1cent a spin or see you all at the twilight bowls tonight at the Hills.

I would expect Ryan Tremain, Locky Sandercock and Matt Sandery from Ingle Farm to form a big part of their bowling attack...

About 30 I understand....pretty good turn up.

Plumb, nice result on the weekend. I shoulda stuck around after tea, looks like it wouldn't have taken that long to take the 10 wickets. Good turn out for the PP day, good to catch up with former team mates.

Was a good result Masha! Gepps Cross are a rebuilding team with plenty of young faces and hopefully for their sake they can stick around for a few years and put some good results together. Was good to catch up and a good day for the club.
