Fair effort by your A grade typewriter to comeback from 7 /130.
Fitzies A grade defeated Morialta by 20 odd runs. Morialta today making 199 in reply to Fitzies 220 from last week. With the A grade in a bit of trouble Bloody Bouncer put the violin away and rolled his arm over for a lazy 5 wickets for 15 runs. Fitzies B grade went down after having Brooklyn Park 5/50 chasing 178. Thats three losses from 3 games and if i had any hair left id pull it out. Fitzies C grade also won on first innings but fielded in the second while Enfield amassed 350 runs in their second dig. Lastly....F*** it was hot today..

B's were soo close to getting their first win of the season. But as we discussed, being 1/120 and all out for 178 isn't good enough. We needed 250 on that ground.

[The Real Number 3]

Here's some results for everyone in safooty forum land:

Para Vista A was 4/33 and 7/130 at different stages, chasing Paralowie A's total of 169 last week. A rear guard action by the tail saw Vista's over the line, and beyond! In the end, we posted 274. Aaron Timm made 71 not out, Andrew Bevan 49, Dan Frick 52 and Brett Tarca 31. For Paralowie, Clarkson took 5/85, and Graham 2/30 odd.

Para Vista B took on Paralowie B. Para Vista was dismissed for 103 last week, and Paralowie, in reply, posted 299, thanks to the absence of two crucial Para Vista players due to family bereavements. Steve Vines took 5/55, Smith, Surridge, Lenehan and co. all among the runs for Elizabeth East, no, sorry, Paralowie.

It's the B's first loss, so both teams are still smiling about their starts to the season.

Not making any excuses for our loss but we only had 9 fielders all day, no Barnes or Dutchy 2nd week so there is 20 overs we had to find. Hence why i came on haha. Poor fielding also took its toll, 13 dropped catches. Doesnt help when everyone is hungover either. We are a shambles haha

[Ecky]

All the phoned in results are up on the website.

[Phantom Gossiper]

why the f**k would a side that's 1/120 (having lost on 1st Innings) bat all day to post 350, & lose???
I would've thought declare at 180-200, then go for outright?

Heres one to rattle some cages down enfield land...

how long will it take with the A grade being humiliated and rumor has it taking the field with 8 players whilst a team of blokes who were playing A grade only a couple of years ago feast on the poor standard in divvy 5 before players begin to get a little angry and frustrated?

I know the reasons for the D grade side but for an outsider looking in you gotta wonder why?? Especially since over the past few years been endless reports of Enfield milkin easy flags in low grades whilst the top end struggle...

Got to see first hand today why lee mills has won div 1 batting trophies and the game was still played in good spirits i thought.. Enfield C def Adel Luthern today 9/170 to the 103 they got last week adel luth batted again for 5/88

Well done to our d grades 350 and interested in the niggle in the first innings...

he is a great batter that's for sure!, he wasn't originally available but our B's could only still get 9 so he said he would come out to help, he will be back in the A's next week

yeah, you could've used barnes and holland... but, actually, soltan, graham and the clarkson boys did all right with the ball, i think the heat may have taken it's toll too. when i got out to bat (number eleven!!!) those blokes were buggered... it was great to watch timmy knock up a great score though - he loves it out there, chatty as ever - stopping the game to have a go at you... absolutely hilarious!

Yeah the heat definately got to us, but in saying that, we dont make it easy for ourselves. We get too drunk friday nights and we hardly ever train (apart from about 4 of us) so most of the lads havent experienced the heat before saturday.

Hahaha the little fella batted alright when we had you blokes on the back foot with a few cheap ones, but if we did have the 11 out there some of the skied ones he hit may have just gone to hand (probably wouldve been dropped though ) and he mightve got out abit earlier. There is abit of history between him and i from a few years ago, hence why we were both chatty towards one another. All in good fun now though.

Will be another tough game for us this week, think we have NEK or the Roys.

The reason the A grade fielded with 8 is cos the 3 indians didnt turn up which they did first week and 2 of there are really good players so no idea why they didnt it wont be a problem the rest of the season.. Enfield A's atm are struggling yeah being up a division isnt that easy the plus side is we back to 4 teams which i think only one of club has that so its a good sign for future seasons A grade i guess shouldnt be the oldest players in the club?

[grave digger]

phantom GOBBLER just a little bit upset are we. Enfield did not want you back at the club as iam sure all of your previous clubs feel the same once again the truth eludes your very little brain.one player from our d team has played a grade in recent times this is the captain at 40 somthing he feels this is a place for him to finish his very long cricket history with enfield which you will never find out about it is called loyalty.now milking flags in the low grades a very cheap shot again just your style our c team has been lucky to win a couple yes the average age of my team mates is 40 to 54 so a win is great just waking up in the morning is fantastic . any team who has played our c team will know this is just a bunch of stupid old farts who enjoy the game together thanks to fitzroy my last game good bunch .Yes our A team is struggling but thats life and you forgot to say by over number 2 enfield had a full team on the park just the stuff we try and do players dont show up for all teams in all clubs iam sure of that .sad to hear you did not get asked to captain central submisson but that seems to be happening a lot now so quit and move on little boy and do some growing up .Wino please take him out fishing but you will need more than a tinny son

1. Don't know what your talking about there mate, was never any talk of me returning to Enfield?
2. Not sad i didnt get asked to captain central missionary position but thanks for your condolences.
3. dont worry got the bite i was looking for


Also if you read my post a little more closely it says i do understand the reasons behind the d grade, i know the average age of your c and d grade sides, my point was that for someone outside looking in they would be wondering why your c grade and d grade are dominating whilst the others struggle?

Yeah it is good your back to 4 sides, on paper i think your A grade looks better than its performing anyway, bit disappointing about the indians

Thanks to the C grade for lending 3 players to fill in to field for the A grade. Meaning we took the field with 11. Unfortunately these guys were not able to bat, for obvious reasons. 2 of the indians have A grade talents, but unfortunately when they don't rock up, it really depletes the A grade.

Enfield A grade would easily defeat their C or D sides.
However its not possible to put two sides in the same division. This often leads to a club becoming split. So consequently Enfield competes in Divs 2,3,4 and 5.

I've noticed both CM and Enfield are stuggling up in Div 2. However this is not uncommon, new division, tougher sides, it will take some time to get settled, since the former Div 3 sides are still trying to find the right mix for Div 2. Although i think Div 2 is the division for Enfield A grade. Enfield is a big club and has lots of potential moving forward. Enfield A grade v Rose Park this weekend it will be a good challange.

Wow, its getting fired up on here. I've always had a strong opinion that C and D grade be regarded as social cricket where the older generation or those with not asmuch capabilities can play or whind down there careers. If they choose to play at a higher level, good luck to them. And for the doubters, I dont believe you would find a club with 3 or 4 teams that takes every grade 'seriously'

If i don't get my way i get going? Geez reckon your getting senile in your old age MATE! Show me one example of this happening and ill show you how much of a liar you are.
Im well aware my brother is back playing for you, i really dont care, i dropped him off to the game! He is hardly going to stay at mission since i left and he has more mates at enfield, after all thats what its all about, playing with mates and if you really wanna know, Michael doesnt even like playing cricket, only starting playing because he wanted to play with me.
Have a nice day MATE!!!

Ok, you do that... People change there tune for many reasons but Im pretty sure Ive said sweet nothing about them as I hold out alot of respect for most of them

Ok, you do that... People change there tune for many reasons but Im pretty sure Ive said sweet nothing about them as I hold out alot of respect for most of them

from the old forum:

"I can tell you Matt wasnt with Enfield when the nationals were on here. I think Mick was in his second dig there... Any good club as a group has players striving to play A Grade. Enfield isnt one of these clubs. There are many good players at Enfield and were many good players over the years I was there and if they had have fielded there strongest sides over the years they would have made the cut in Div 1. The listed players who have left left for these reasons. They wanted to play at clubs where they can achieve there potential and not flounder in lower grades because some-one doesnt like them or have to play a grade when being only d grade quality.
As for the super cs. I played a few games with them. Great guys but in regards of being 'to old' for a or b grade, come on! Its cricket!! Your never to old to be pushy your limit.
Last year I would have missed probably 3 trainings. I went one stage not playing a game for nearly 2 months. Hows that rewarding?"

"What do you mean relying on them. Half the C grade are good enough for A's or B's.. No-one should feel bad for asking these blokes to put in the effort for the better of there club. Its cricket for crying our loud.. There is very little difference from grade to grade. The C grade are a great bunch of guys I have no doubt about that but they have some talent down there that may never be used properly again because they want to play with there mates. Players should put the club first and whats best for the club not whats best for there egos.. The club would be alot stronger and alot better off if players played the grade they should play."

"Hang on a second. Are you suggesting that the C grade squad has been prodominately the same for the last 5 years because most cant train?? How does this explain half the A Grade not training last year and still playing A grade? I know why.. Because they are A graders!!!! Wake up half the C grade can play A or B grade. They have some real talent down there but they choose not to. They put there own personal glory before the club they love so much"

Dirty little badger. As I said people change there tunes and there will always be 'social' teams in lower grades at clubs. All be it, good luck to them. They arent young anymore
