It would be great if someone could find a fix for their 14's and lower, you've really gotta feel for the kids and club seeing some of their results and how unappealing it must be for prospective players.
It seems all is well at the top end of the club, just getting kids out there is the problem, from experience their junior training structure is on par with any of the district clubs that I've seen.

You'd think teams 7 - 10 on the ladder - Adelaide Uni, Port, Adelaide and West Torrens would have been thinking finals at the start of the year.

I must say, the spirit of the kids out there was exceptional, I watched the game and admired how much they all loved being out there, how hard they tried and their conduct when they were dismissed.
One lad was bowled trying to slog a slow rank full toss, a young Indian team mate when and met him on his way off and said "You just got bowled for a duck first ball off a full toss"
"Yeah, I know" he said as he laughed a little, the Indian lad put his arm around him and they walked off together smiling.

Weird that some teams have played 5 games out of their 12. Not even the end of October yet and the season almost half over!

10 and 11 year olds playing against 13 and 14 year olds. I guess they need to put a team out there but there's no chance for them to experience any success. They're doing their best
I hope they stick at it but it's a tough situation for them

Kensington look the standout team at this stage. Very well balanced side only slight weakness is a spinner perhaps now Pope is playing for the shield side. Prospect to be 0-5 after the investments made in the off season is a disaster for them.

Port's Womens A Grade team had to forfeit again. I wonder if they will pull the pin on the season? Some symmetry with the men's comp if we can get a bye in the program!

Apparently not, they seem pretty sure that they will have a more competitive side this week, although they also said that last week.
I know they are trying to remain upbeat out there and doing the best they can to get numbers on a Sunday, I do wonder how much the Jets game disheartened them though.

I know it's A Grade cricket but the competition is so fragile you can't grind one club into the dirt. A bit of TLC from the other clubs now to help them find their feet will be good for the long term health of the game. I know it shouldn't have to happen but that's the reality.
TTG are one of the best & strongest grade clubs and they couldn't sustain women's cricket. It's a tough gig.

TTG didn't want women's cricket this season, their players were going to stick around after re-joining the comp last season, they finished 4th out of 10 in both formats, I was very surprised to hear that they opted out but I'm sure they had their reasons.
