Eyre v ATCO shaping as a really critical game this week, along with Eastern Park v Angle Vale.. the last spot in the 4 could come down to who wins out of ER / ATCO.

Note the ladder isn't up to date with Westies forfeit result, so they should be around the 46pt mark, means there is stuff all between EP, ER and ATCO.

One Day game this week, might be NP chance to break their duck against a Craigmore side that fell in a massive heap last week. Having said that, Akram is likely to play and fill his boots and Reza to continue his good form.


The last tie in grade 1 (18th in total) was 13 seasons ago. Most memorable was 2005/06 when Salisbury West and Rose & Crown tied the grand final.

Hasn't Akram still got 5 weeks of his compulsory holiday to go?

I think it’s been shortened.

That's right 2010/11, both out for 101.

It’s a pity that this weeks round is a one dayer, I think it’s the most even round for the season, I don’t think there will be a lot in it for any of the games.

I reckon the Pines might chalk their first win up.
ATCO to fall over the line against the Royals.
Eastern Park to triumph over Angle Vale with Benny Mc to go big.
Virginia to continue their form in a nail biter over Westies.

Two out of four is not a pass mark, but you did get the top end correct.

50% is a pass :lol:

Bonus points for the nail-biter, Virginia needed 18 off the last over and Nato hit 23 off of it, he also got caught off a free hit ball.
I was being optimistic with the first two calls, Cragimre do have some capable players and I think ATCO are better than where they sit.

Robertson must've failed again with the bat for Royals to post 194, would've been a good afternoon out at Eyre Park.

Grade 1 is shaping as an interesting competition post Christmas. Virginia the pace setter at the moment ticking along nicely.

Eyre Royals the real surprise packet sitting 2nd, but there is a bees proverbial between them and Salisbury West in 5th spot. Eastern Park with the win on the weekend have put themselves in a reasonable position - particularly given they've forfeited a game and missed points.

North Pines keep battling, in for a long season - could do worse than look to their LO sides for some support, whilst Craigmore also appear out of the finals hunt despite only being a bit over a win outside the 4.

The one dayers might throw up some more surprises and give the bottom half a chance to shape the 4, but when the whips are cracking in the final 6 weeks i'd expect the cream to rise and some very convincing results to put beyond doubt the the finalists.

LO1 is a 3 horse race - Units (or should I call them "Centrals" :D ) are streets ahead, but Dublin and Parafield aren't as far behind as it may appear.

The gap to the rest is quite significant, and then from 4 to 10 it's actually pretty even - anyone could win on their day.

Para Vista did enough on the weekend to beat Enfield who continue to put themselves in winning positions and fail to capitilise. Damage done by the son of a former Enfield legend, the kid ripped through the middle order when a win looked a formality. With Hodson, Hibbett, Wilson and perhaps Luke McLeod to return to the side, Para Vista could be a threat post xmas.

Peninsula Pirates forfeit on the weekend is concerning for the future of their club - unless it was simply a case of a xmas show or whatever. Adelaide Union upset Hazara with a bonus point the only one that really appeared out of the ordinary. Hazara are quite hit or miss though - bit like Enfield it's feast or famine for the bats.. hit or miss.

Adelaide Warriors sit bottom, but they're not the worst side either and wins can't be far away.

This week throws up some interesting matches - Parafield v Dublin the number one clash, followed by Para Vista and NEK. Adelaide Warriors head in favourites against Enfield, and Hazara should belt Pirates. It'll be interesting to see how close Union can get to "Centrals".

Witnessed a mankad in a women’s game last night, chick that executed it told her team mates not to celebrate as it didn’t seem right, I said ‘but you’re still claiming the wicket?’
“Yeah, of course” and had a laugh

The revised Law now reads: “Even if the non-striker had left his/her ground before the instant at which the bowler would normally have been expected to release the ball, once the bowler has reached that point it is no longer possible for the bowler to run out the non-striker under this Law.”


Should’ve been not out, the women ran in, reached her delivery side, fake bowled the ball then ran the batter out.

Gonna be a few upset people around the PDCA this weekend..

Rumour has it, a nice chunk (including their captain) of the Eastern Park boys are away for work this weekend and it’s looking like the second time this season they might have to forfeit a division 1 game, both against Westies! :) :) :)

A One Tree Hill bloke took a double hat-trick on the eeekdn

14 year old for Atco took a hat-trick on his debut A Grade Div 1 game….not a bad effort.
