Adelaide Turf Cricket Association 2010-11

[Merki the God]

Nothing is finalised yet, but we do intend to apply for acceptance into the ATCA next season. We have had a three pitch square layed at Brahma Lodge Oval which will be ready for next year and would obviously like to move as many of our 5 PDCA teams over as possible if our application is accepted.

Gradings etc would be worked out if we are accepted in I suppose.

I would be guessing B1 or A3 as a start. For Brahma Lodge to start in A3 it would mean only 1 team will be promoted from B1. When Reynella joined in 2007/08 they started in A3 and I believe it meant Hectorville missed out on promotion from B1 to A3 as a result. ATCA will be looking to move to 10 team competition, rather than the current 12 teams from 2012/13, so that will also make things interesting in Year 2.

The Lodge boys will struggle big time in ATCA - compared to PDCA, there is very little interest in this Forum. PDCA on page 387. ATCA on page 19. How will they cope without all the online waffle?????

Merki will have to come across and help it out

Valleys are gone. Have struggled since Vaughan left that club. Them and Gepps on the drop and Woody Rechs to win

Sounds like you where on the end of one of his hidings he gave a few clubs DKL definitely been a few tough years since he got the assistants job at the backs, but nothing lasts forever and you have to move on with what you have got

There's a lot of young talent amongst the side that will dominate in a few seasons time. This week we'll be sure to get the job done. 260 is very gettable on Hope Valley.

If James Nash is in the A grade side then i would suggest they have no hope. The loss of Vaughan is massive and would hurt any club.

Know nashy well do you footy smart??

Old Ignatians Cricket Club has 4 sides which all play up at the school at Athelstone.

Oh, ok. I thought that they played at Hunter Park (old Railways Oval) but now that I think of it that might be the football club.

Probably because we play every week and don't have our heads up our arses, nothing wrong with building a bit of mateship with the opposition.

I'm sure that's exactly what they had in mind.

Yeah that side of the comp will be dissapointing...

I think you may have misinterpreted the "struggling" bit LM.
I strongly suggest it was aimed at performance on the forum not on the ground....

Quality response from a moderator though..
But hey.. that is your right....!!!!!!

[interested observer]

Right Boys, Merki here from afar , amazing the rumors i am hearing here on the sub continent, Rumors coming out of the woody rech boys is that no more marinated chicken wings or pastry's for afternoon tea may have the club a little light on talent for the finals , someones not happy

Please elaborate Merki..
Afternoon tea was alot better quality than the following session of cricket, believe me.....!!!

Yeah, that is my right, along with every other poster on here, I don't hold myself in any higher esteem than anyone else on here. Moto wanted to have a dig at our thread because it gets used on a more regular basis, what he finds waffle might interest others, the PDCA thread is one of the easiest to moderate and without it we wouldn't have raised in excess of $5000 for the Qld flood appeals.
So in essence, I took offence to the post, sorry but I am human.

Cannot speak highly enough of the efforts and result of the Flood relief appeal...
Knowing a number of posters on the PDCA thread i take a keen interest in reading and thoroughly enjoy it.
Just not sure what the "we play every week', "heads up arse" bit was about other than someone that has an issue with turf comps..??
Have played with and against some fantastic hard wicket cricketers and respect them highly...
Unfortunately it seems you have issue the other way ????

James Nash is not that bad.

Good bowler when he is switched on.

[OKC!]

Did i see right on the weekend thats gepps got rolled for 34 I know things are not so rosie at the club, did some players miss this game from the previous where they hit over 200?

Noticed this to, surely not that much worse then concordia who are bottom half of the table to. Spose it could of been one of those days !

Had a chat to a couple of the boys and not too much of a change from the previous week.

Think the lads are looking forward to the end of the season, there was no excuses when asked about the weekend. Just put it down to a long year. Hopefully they can recruit a bit to help with a re-build of some of the younger lads.

Your back there next year OKC ??

Yes.

[leftarmoffie]

Im sure the BL boys will come into there own when they get use to the competition, There wouldnt be any where near the sledging in Turf than there is in the PDCA

Agree, there is nothing wrong with building a bit of mateship via this Forum. PDCA do it well and the Fund Raiser they held for the Flood Relief was excellent and I was there to support it - albeit briefly. My point was.....I hope the Brahma Lodge boys are not expecting the same level of interaction next year on the ATCA Forum because if they are they will be grossly disappointed.

Finally, when Ozolins returned from ATCA to play PDCA this year, did Salisbury West remove his head from up his arse? I suspect not. Pretty poor to suggest the general ATCA community have their heads up their arses just because they are not regular participants on this forum.

Perhaps the BL boys will be the injection the ATCA forum needs.
Plenty of people from the turf comp looking to kill some time online during the day, just don't have the return of serve at the moment, BL could assist that!

Yeah I was a bit too cynical in my response, the we play every week comment was in regards to we have more to talk about because we have less wash-outs, the head up our arse comment was related to the fact that we discuss the forum at club level and amongst our opposition, we aren't afraid to throw idea's out there for others to digest.
I have no issues with the ATCA, how could I, it is the 2nd strongest comp in the state, I just didn't see a need for our thread or association to be criticised for it's volume of posts.
I apologise if I offended you or your association, it was only directed at that particular post, many great blokes and players having a hit in the ATCA.

Ok, yeah, mis-interpreted then, I wasn't generalising the ATCA community, I was stating that we aren't afraid to voice our opinions and idea's.
I'm sure the Lodge boys will still drop in and say hello on our thread.
