Adelaide Hills Cricket (Hills, A&EH, TV) 2010-11

[Dutchy]

:lol: Ah, Banker. Isn't the 'Mylor should go to A grade' talk normally reserved for October? And all it ever is, is talk.

Going to get this out the way early JQ. Mylor will not put in an A grade team.... EVER. No one gives a s*#t about cricket down there, its all about the drinking afterwards. Which i think is fine. They realise that they are a B grade team and are happy with that. Not to mention that Steadman has played a couple of games for Athelstone as a dual registered player already this year so i would think that he will move on next year and take Gaunt with him. (Mr & Mrs Cricket). There goes the 2 most important players. B's would struggle to make finals without those two.
Would expect that it will be C's and D's next year at Mylor

Heard this every year and the bluff may work with the HCA, but when the record is 4 seasons with only 1 loss it speaks for itself.

These Hills comps and Torrens Valley comps are getting boring. Grand Finals are always Meadows V Onkas and Lobethal V Kersbrook (although not this year). Why don't they just merge the two comps to make them more competitive as Stirling, Mount Lofty, Paracombe and Gumeracha won't be winning a flag for a long time and are just making up the numbers anyway.

I think you will find joining the comps together wont stop meadows dominance. they are just a very well drilled team and you need to have a great day to beat them. im sure onkas on their day could roll them, and uraidla has beaten onkas both times last yr including a final and beaten them in the one dayer this year. appart from meadows and stirling the others are very even, anyone can beat anyone.

Dominance Lobethal have won 7 flags straight. Now that is dominance

Lobethal have accounted for Meadows before in Courier Cup fixtures, and I'd like to see them in a 2 day match. If Aufderhide ends up back at Lobey they would be very hard to beat with all their guns in one side. I agree with most though that the travel factor for each leagues won't see it happen.

I think that the Courier Cup is an innacurate measuring stick (albeit the only one) for club cricket accross the 3 comps. We all know that a few people are always missing on Sundays and as you touched on it is one day cricket.

I dont think Lobethals 7 straight reflects that they are neccesarily better than Meadows, more so that the rest of TVCA falls away pretty quickly. I would be confident that Meadows would account for most country cricket sides, regardless of their performance / record in their own respective competition.

As I said you can refer to Courier Cup but I dont think that is that Meadows you would see on a Saturday week in week out.

Is it called innacurate, cos it has Lobethal written all over it?

When was the last time they won one? I know the year they beat Meadows in the semi they went on to lose the GF to Aldgate, who got beaten comfortably by Meadows in the HCA that year. Did they win it last year?

At least you could have composed a mature response. How old are you? I think I raised a fairly reasnable point regarding the two sides' abilities. Petulant.

Typical Hills arrogance again...
Maybe the question should be asked if the HCA (or is it just Meadows?) are SO GOOD then what happened in the Meyer Shield this year? Or is that not a good measuring stick either...

[2jox]

I didnt argue the result of the meyer shield, I think the hills have a good side though obviously didn't win. I didn't watch the competition but I didn't make excuses for them not winning, would not be able to comment on the TVCA side either. Remember that the meyer shield sides are only 11 players from each competition and I think it is slightly hypocritical (coming from the TVCA) to critisize the depth of the HCA though.

I sincerely doubt the likes of Paracombe and whatever other incestuous dots on the map that comepete in the TVCA would stand up against the fairly consistent middle - lower ranked sides in the HCA (Bridgewater, Mt Lofty, Aldgate).

[2jox]

Other than Woodside and Lobey who would obviously strengthen the competetion. My arguement is that the consistancy falls away from there. Hence the 7 titles in a row to one club.

Blah Blah Blah Paracombe would smash Mt.Lofty The great TG brought the Courier Cup in to find out which were the stronger teams and comps going around for the past quater of a century. If you haven't seen the Courier Cup, there are Torrens Valley clubs littered all over it, and you've checked out the Meyer Shield that too has Torrens Valley enscribed all over it. I don't think the HCA have a high horse to stand on, and if TG was looking for an answer, I think he found out.

I think somebody else might be missing a few chromosomes..

If that was an attempt at "humour", try again.

Just for the record, Woodside have never won a Courier Cup (according to the Courier on Wednesday anyway). But dont let facts get in the way of your argument..

[The Big Ship]

Woodside have won it now!!!!

[Justquietly]

After a...not-so-strong showing last weekend from the Gators, the A grade race for 4th spot in HCA comes down to the last game. I know our boys won't take Lofty lightly either. Surely Shanty can't beat meadows
And finally someone knocks off Mylor in b grade! Don't fire up too much SCIBS, we'll be seeing you in 2 weeks.

[Footy Warrior]

Woodside have won it now!!!!

Another Torrens Valley Club with it's name on the shield. Ben Kemp suited up in the local derby and it still didn't matter, and Galvin left his junior club to play with Onkas cos they were stronger! Might be why the rumors are pretty firm that Galvin is returning to his junior club Woodside next year to strengthen the Warriors.

The top 2 spots in the A grade are sealed with Meadows finishing well clear and Uraidla cementing 2nd both will get home finals. The next 2 spots will b up for grabs this week. If aldgate can beat can beat lofty and uraidla beat onkas you could see meadows and onkas semi final. great to see the competition so even and finals spots still up for grabs with 1 game left.

Doubt Chris Sampson's enagagement party the night before helped their chances. Nice timing Murrett!

Things are heating up a head of finals in the A&EH! With Nairne and the creek to play at nairne after a game this week that was reported to be a little tense and Strath and Echunga to play at strath on the turf deck, were there has been low scores made alot this season! with echunga being the only team to have beaten strath way back in round 1. Wuld have to tip nairne to get up against the creek and the mighty miners to pull out a win.

[Deep Long Off]

Well - Woodside finished off the minor round in shaky fashion, a lucky 12 run win over a much depleted Lobethal Gold team.
Looks like the annual Semi-Final loss is looming large at Warrior Land and the 2 Lobethal sides will contest the GF as was predicted at the start of the season.
Although it will be interesting to see the Tiger sides that line up against Woodside and Mt Torrens/Charleston - my prediction is the stronger team will travel as Black to Woodside, perhaps leaving the door open for Mt Torrens to upset the Gold tigers at Lobethal.
An intriguing weekend ahead!

Get your facts right YP, Hahndorf have also beaten Strath!!

Unfortunately think Strath will win this game EASILY with Echunga struggling to make 80 runs on the Strath minefield...

Nairne to win the premiership by the length of the straight...
