My son and I might end up playing out there.

How many clubs have you played for?


3 since 1983. a district club, all the rest at the same club minus 2 years (92 & 99) at a rival PDCA club.

I played one game the season before last but have just ferried my kids around on the weekends since.

I was lucky enough to fulfill a dream and play that one game with my son and daughter and got to bat with both, my lad has me easily covered with the willow now though.


Werent you at Rosie for a bit in the 2000's?? Not that it really matter?

How many's LM Jnr played at?


6, he is 14 now though :lol:

He did play for 3 different clubs in the one season though.


Tell me to mind my own business, is there any reason in particular though?

I actually don't think its necessarily a bad thing, learning from different coaches with different strengths can definitely be a positive for development.

I think suffered from the opposite, I had one coach my entire juniors at EP and whilst they were a very good coach I think it halted my development, I only learnt what they knew and obviously didn't learn anything outside of that.

At a guess, two are district clubs, others due to either lack of jnrs or location.

Played for his under 11 PDCA club, an under 14 district club and then his best mates dad would come pick him Sunday morning to play for Woody Rechabites, he wanted to and he was young, it didn't hurt.

I coached women's there and a part season of the mens, I did fill in 2 games late in the season but hardly worth mentioning. It was about 2014 I think.

Heartbreaking that loss to Tanunda. O'Brien is a 14 year old lad, will be a superstar when he's older. Very mature knock from him but was absolutely devastated coming off the ground. The first run out was a straight drive back to the non-strikers stumps and the 2nd was a fumble from the keeper that young Will thought had gone passed, he was too far down before he noticed. Hard one to swallow

Will be interesting to see what SG choose should they finish 1st or 2nd with the BLCA adopting the option of giving the higher placed club a home final if they wish, cant see the issue being over by March one way or the other.
