At this stage they have nominated an A3 and u 12 div 3 team. They are hopeful if they get let in that they will get another senior team up. They seem to think being closer to adelaide is going to increase their numbers. Bit easier to get players to play away games in the Barossa rather Clare and further north

I’m not sure what’s the best solution in the regard. TBH Long Plains were much a b grade side last night and if it wasn’t for Sammy they would have been an average b grade side so I can see why the league may want them there.
I would also think it’s because the league would want to keep the b grade comp going with Long Plains being the 4th b grade side
I would also think if Long Plains join the Barossa league that would be starting in one of the lower divisions for sure. Especially considering the Barossa league is a fair bit stronger imo

I think the decision moving forward is more about where are the majority of junior players would most likely play as that is the only way the club can survive long term.
Plus i believe stanley are pressuring them to play b grade but long plains beleive there will likely only be 4 teams so not much future there.
Basically the club has gone backwards since moving to stanley so something has to change going forward.

Hard to fathom that Clare can't put in a 2nds team when only a decade ago they were 2 seperate clubs with both A and B grades each.

There was an Adelaide Plains comp. At the end i think it was Mallala, Hamley Bridge, Long Plains and Dublin. Hamley Bridge folded and the comp disbanded. Mallala came to the B&L and havent looked back starting in A4 and last year reaching A1 and staying there. Dublin chose PDCA over B&L and have also improved their club. Long Plains went to Stanley and im only going by what others have said but have gone backwards. Hamley Bridge reformed 2 years ago and now have a one day and two day team in the B&L so have also improved.
I think for these clubs playing in the B&L makes it easier for them to get lads back that have moved to town for uni/work.

Sorry I cant count, was there not one of those sides that continued to forfeit because it felt like the Sevenhill B Grade had a bye every second week.
