A&EHCA go Back to Back winning the Meyer Shield today at Encounter Bay over Hills
Hills won the toss and elected to bat but were immediately under pressure with some great bowling and slumped to 5/20 odd. They consolidated and grafted it out to be dismissed in the 50th over for 114
A&EHCA gave Hills a sniff early by losing 2 quick wickets before methodically knocking off the runs 6 wickets down in the 37th over

Some important results yesterday in the AEH which could have large impact on finals. Strath going up against the super strong Lobethal side with the three East Torrens A graders got thumped. Ryan King must have completed his suspension from East Torrens as i dont think you can play for another team while suspended.

Maccy going up against the bottom side Hahndorf felt they were a chance to leapfrog Strath into the four and control their destiny and play finals. Now they need Strath to lose probably both games against Nairne and Cally with Maccy playing Creeks in the final round. Maccy have Woodside away next week which is never a super easy place to play.

Great to see Hahndorf get some wins on the board. Theyve been thumped some weeks but have genuinely been competitive in most of their games. Awesome to see young quick Mitch Bannister get a 5 for as well.

Maccy would be kicking themselves but that's the nature of the comp, no results can be taken for granted as all sides have enough talent to cause upsets on the day if the higher ranked team is slightly off the boil.

Creeks going down to the Marquee player led Nairne Friday night in the T20 final unsurprisingly reversed the result against Nairne Saturday to remain undefeated.

The Marquee player and Premier League players returning to local Clubs when have Byes and wash outs etc will certainly create plenty of discussion in the off season.
I personally think the Marquee player for the T20s is not what the comp needs.
As for District players returning to their home clubs when they can throughout the season, i've never had a problem with it but noises are being made to put a stop to it. Obviously been brought to the forefront with Lobethals contingent of A Grade Premier League players returning at times.
Should the rules change because of a Club doing a great job of developing their locals? Will be an interesting debate.

Without knowing the specifics, if the player is a genuine junior of the club then it shouldn't be an issue - great for the club and competition for them to return and promotes kids looking to play at the highest level possible. Those being parachuted in though doesn't really achieve anything.

Cracking 138 off 137 from Josh Healy from Lofty on Saturday, on the big Heathfield oval keeping them top of the HCA, hope the lads can keep the momentum going for the next month

Yeah I don't have an issue with juniors returning to their home Club if their district club has a bye.
Problem with the marquee Players is it would probably be the bigger stronger clubs that seem to attract them making their teams even stronger.

Happens everywhere example Travis head played for tea tree gully in last couple years.. players filter down if available and does nothing but strengthen the comp. Credit to Lobethal for being able to keep those players involved as they generally play every game available. No problems from me if a club benefits a few weeks a year because they’ve had a strong junior program in the past.

Marquee player is a whole different discussion, definitely gave more eyes to the comp with some bigger names playing. However could be seen as frustrating that Corey Kelly single handidly ended up not only getting them to finals but then also win the flag. Would he potentially sign up as a Nairne player next year allowing them to recruit another marquee?

AEHCA

Congrats to Creek on going through the regular season undefeated.

Lobey and Nairne definitely have the potential of knocking them off as finals are funny games.

Strath limp in after a loss to Cally in the last round.

Maccy had 2 bites at getting into the finals but with losses to Hahndorf and Woodside in rd 16 and 17 will miss out.

My tip - Pretty hard to go past Creek. Probably have the deepest batting lineup with O Dea, Kropp, Dawson and Warren. Lobey still relies pretty heavily on Matthews and Weeks however Martin and Norsworthy can have their days.

Nairne just find ways to grind out wins with their incredibly disciplined bowling attack. If their batting can get them to 160ish its very hard to bet against them.

Strath are just a big unknown right now. Still have incredible quality with the bat in Cousins, Abbott and Harris and if Gaiter can regain fitness will lead the attack with the ball with the other Abbott still a reliable opening quick.

Kind of bummed that Maccy couldn't nab a finals spot. Think I wouldve been great to see them in there.
Not wrong about being hard to go past Creeks but Nairne do seem to turn it on come finals time so will be an interesting watch

Would have been great to see Maccy make it but they just fell short. Probably just 1 class player away from stepping up to Finals.

Creeks undefeated is a great effort but that accounts for ZERO from now on as they now have to deal with their abysmal finals record of the last 2 years where they have been kicked out in straight sets both years :oops:
Have played ordinary cricket in those games so will have to deal with the pressure of expectation this year.
The team i would say has never been stronger with batting depth especially with Matt Tonkin back and with Frost and Jaspa Tonkin now really hitting their straps at this level. Their bowling has isn't the most consistent at times but have a plethora of options considering bowlers like Kropp and Dawson are sparingly used. Humphries has been a great pick up with the ball during the year. Creek should be full strength come 1st week of finals apart from Whiting who's away for work and it's early but maybe doubt about a key player who suffered a mystery injury today :roll:

Interesting the Creek B Grade were undefeated through the 1st 13 rounds and have since lost their last 5 matches to go from top to 3rd :o :shock:

Hard to see Strath winning 3 on the trot to break a long premiership drought as they're just too inconsistent despite a core group of talented players.
Lobey and Nairne are certainly chances of upsetting the Creeks as all their minor round games were relatively close.

Couple cracking finals in the HCA this weekend.

First Semi Lofty V Stirling. Arch rivals these two with a bit of dislike and animosity between the two just adds to this. Stirling had luck go there way last week to come from 4th to 2nd and get the double chance. Who will have the better duo out of Healey & Carthew V Gonzalez and Read probably decides the result but i reckon Stirling to steal this in a tight one.

Elimination Final -Meadows V Aldgate. You line these two up on paper and there is no argument Aldgate are much better but Meadows have Rohan and Haydn. If Rohan can carry this Meadows team to a flag its his greatest achievement. Aldgate with Atkins, Clements and Callaghan should dominate Meadows bowling but can they stop Rohan? Aldgate to win this comfortably.

TVCA Semis

Cambrai v Palmer - The Skunks have been the pacesetters, with some handy recruits. Have a woeful record in finals against the Bears however, so an upset wouldn't surprise me. Cambrai to win at home though.
Gumeracha v Paracombe - Despite some big personnel losses this season the Magpies have reached another semi final, their senior players all having solid seasons. After losing their first 4-5 games, the Pirates have surged to take third spot. Gumeracha to win.

Eden Valley slipped from runners up to 5th, while Lenswood would be disappointed with their winless second half of the season. Birdwood were once again competitive but ended up with another spoon.

Creek are seriously in good touch right now. O Dea is just simply one of the best going around right now and proved it on the weekend. Lobey v Nairne next week at Lobey is absolutely anyone's game. Ill still tip Lobey with Matthews to make runs and Matt Martin to lead the attack. Just feel the home ground will give Lobey the slight edge. Lobey is a massive ground and they play it really well.

In the Junior grades GF's Hahndorf will play Nairne in the Under 16 grade and Lobethal will play Woodside in the Under 14 grade.

Was a BIG turn around in the Nairne v Strath Semi Final with Strath well on top at one stage with Nairne really struggling at 3/29 off about 20 overs. A consolidating 4th wicket partnership of 80 between Timmins and Llewellen got them to 4/109 off 33 overs with the game still in the balance. Enter the big hitting Shane Kenney and he single handedly took the game away from Strath with an incredible 99* n.o. off only 43 balls with 10 sixes :shock: :shock: :shock: to see Nairne finish up with 6/239 with 130 coming off the last 12 overs :o

Creek got sent into bat by Lobey on a fresh pitch being used for the 1st time for the season which had a bit of moisture in it from some early Friday showers but whilst it offered a bit of extra assistance for the bowlers openers O'Dea and Kropp took full toll of anything loose to get of to a flyer with O'Dea especially in ominous form. A typical run a ball contribution by Warren kept the momentum going to impose an imposing 4/239 in which Lobey were never in the hunt after losing early wickets with Weeks the only batsman who looked dangerous.

as the last 2 Grand Finals have shown there's little between Lobey and Nairne and the Prelim is a 50/50 match to see who gets a crack at the Red Hot Creek Tigers in the final who will have the extra pressure of being undefeated all season but still having to front up and prove themselves one more time.

Yep just a remarkable run. Hats of to them, this was by far there weakest team in years and unless Rohan made runs they never won.

Aldgate at Stirling this weekend in the preliminary final. Aldgate to me are solid favourites, bat extremely deep and they will like the square small boundaries at Stirling. Read and Gonzalez are due after a poor performance last week so you never know but I reckon we will be seeing a lofty Aldgate GF which will be fascinating.

Cambrai break a 38 year drought by defending 6/126 against Gumeracha (rolled for just 73). In the B's Eden Valley tasted success for the first time in around 13-14 years, winning a higher scoring game by 13 runs, also against Gumeracha.

In the Hills, Stirling won the prelim against Aldgate, so will face Lofty next week. Stirling won a tight A2 final against Aldgate, while Basket Range claimed the A3s, capping off a rough day for Aldgate. Caught some of the action at Basket Range, magnificent spot to watch cricket. Seems Aldgate won the 16s and 14s.

Lobey beat Nairne by around 50 in the A's prelim, Mt Barker thumped Woodside by 10 wickets to claim the A2s, Lobey over Creek in the B's, Ashbourne came from 4th to beat Woodside in the C's and Maccy won the D's in a low scoring game, despite initially "losing" their semi the week before. Lobey had a comfortable win in the 14s, and Hahndorf spanked Nairne by 10 wickets in the 16s.
