Looks like the North vs South All Star game may not go ahead this weekend due to the forecasted weather temps.

Not really sure what the purpose of this was but I know at Spalding we managed to convince a couple of our better players.

Had my first Pekina experience.

That is country cricket at its finest......not sure I will ever play on an oval like that again. There was a few battered fielders that is for sure.

Faced Mick Redden @ Pekina in the day, quite a fearsome opponent. Didn't mind pitching it short.
Is the pub still open? Many a good session there.

Northern Areas had a somewhat comfortable victory over Stanley chasing down 142 with 5 wickets and 10 overs left

Horse man of the match

First away win for Northern Areas in roughly 15 years.

Not sure the Northern Areas comp is even 15 years old. Belalie Mokota had strong association team 10-15 years ago with the likes of the Willis brothers, Ryan Simpson and Steve Tohl in their prime.

Apparently right on 15 years

I play with Tolhy this year, what a man and what a character.

Spalding have secured top spot with one round to go.

Both Burra and Belman can finish 2 and 3 depending on last round results whilst 3 teams (Orroroo / Wilmington / Pekina can all make the final fourth spot.

Absolute scenes on the final minor round day of the Northern Areas Competition.

Boh Wall played another amazing innings to hit 111 not out and give Burra a total of 206. With 4 overs remaining in the game Spalding required 38 runs with four wickets left. Enter the big man Tohly hit 34 of 14 balls to win the match for Spalding.

As the results started to be entered into MyCricket it worked out Bel Man had won by enough to make up the 0.40% to overtake Burra for the second spot and double chance by 0.014 points.

In the battle for fourth spot Wilmington lost comfortably so were out of the running. All the action was at Pekina though with them chasing down 163 to defeat Orroroo and equal them on points. Once all the scores were entered despite the win Pekina missed out over taking Orroroo on the ladder by 0.10%

Finals this week are:

Spalding vs Bel Man
Burra vs Orroroo

Is there a Bradman Medal for the comp?

Yeah there is a player of the year. Rightly or wrongly I believe the winner is Richardson-Neate from Orroroo.

I believe they just use the MyCricket Champion Player Points.

LOL.

If it was a 3-2-1 set up we would have a few too many take votes of each other. I think this year has seen the 'im the man' worn by the most different players in a season.

We don't have the top end talent some of the other teams have in the competition but we have 6-7 blokes who can genuinely win/or have won us a game throughout the year.

Will do.

Should be a cracker finals series with each team bringing something different to the table.

Spalding- Apart from me and Tohl a young fit side, arguably the clubs golden generation. have 6-8 players who can win a game on any given day. Sportsbet would have as favourites given we have only lost the one game but that doesn't tell the full picture. Both games against Burra were extremely close, one win by a wicket, the other win by 9 balls. We played Belalie twice but haven't played against them with Horse yet this year. Beat Orroroo twice but on the last occasion was bowled out for 90 but somehow managed to defend....absolutely no certs. Went out in straights from this position last year against the exact same two sides in Belalie and Burra.

Belalie- Snuck into the top 2 on the final day. Any team with Horse in their batting line up have to be a chance. There yet to score over 100 against Spalding but haven't had Horse in either game, he lifts their entire batting line up. Recent games have seen Jaeschke and Seddon hit runs. Absolute premiership threat with imo the second deepest side.

Burra- Lost second spot on the final day which will hurt. Have super elite talent in Boh Wall and Sam Mattey, a couple of role players in Schuppen and Digger but then it drops away for Burra. With their elite talent they will be in any game they play and are most definitely a threat a could easily win 3 games in a row if the big guns fire. In saying that they are only going to be 2-3 wickets away from being knocked out.

Orrorro- Not without a chance, very very very young squad. At a guess they would have 7 blokes under the age of 19. Lots of raw talent with the ball and bat but probably lack the star power with the bat to win 3 games in a row. Are coming into finals off 3 loses in a row which isn't ideal but there no fear factor could work for them. Hard to see them winning the flag but more than capable of an upset on there day. If they keep their young lads this will not be there last finals series that's for sure.

Bel Man won an epic encounter against Spalding on the weekend, winning with 3 balls to go chasing down the modest 140 target.

Burra won easily with Boh Wall hitting another 100, last 3 scores have been 99, 111no, 111. Slightly in form :)

Still gutted from the weekend.

You pick up Horse for a second ball duck to one of the best catches you've seen in the slips, you have the opposition 5/39 chasing 140 on a very slow wicket you should go on and win. Sadly we weren't good enough thanks to some poor, lazy fielding and some decent batting.

We go again this weekend though, I guess that's the beauty of the double chance. Will not be easy against a very capable Burra side. Should be an absolute cracker.
