Night trial at Kilburn

[mickey]

would be interesting to see what would happen if the cricket club wanted to play a trial while football season is still underway.. my guess is the footballers wouldnt be 2 happy and wouldnt allow it. Cant see any difference here, even if it is a lower grade, wouldnt do it to a b or c grade football team

they wouldnt be able to cause there would be no prepared cricket pitch!

I agree, that is a stupid example! Do cricket clubs even play trials? There is more overlap of the start of football season into the end of cricket season than the other way around, not too many games of cricket played in late August early september i wouldnt think?

Ha ha, good luck trying on a cricket pitch after a season of footy. Would be like playing on jagged concrete! To be honest I don't think the trial did much damage to the pitch.

Mickey sooking has taken the focus away from a good night's footy.

Copped two bloody corkys, one on the quad, one on my calf, same leg. Can't bloody walk this morning. Lucky I didn't have a few beers otherwise I'd be in agony.

Mickey stop worrying mate. Pretty much all of our executive are life members of the Adelaide Turf including our Football Coach. I played cricket last Friday night on the pitch and had a look at it after the game last night and there are no problems. Well grassed and as hard as a rock. Stop stressing mate we know our obligations to our Cricket teams. As a side note our A grade cricket captain coach was at the trial game and had no problems.

[The Big Shrek]

Ha ha, I was surprised to see you walking around Nearly Was after 'tearing your hamstring off the bone'!

I wonder if that was a euphemism for something else?

[Iron Fist]

Thats it
we played a trial last night on woodvilles c and d oval, the pitch was fine if it was rolled again today for tommorow!
it it had rained all week it might be a bit of a different story!

gepps cross play their 1st home trial saturday after the cricket has finished, gaza have roped off their whole square so the footballers cant even train on it. Rosewater, portland and port districts cant play on their ground till after the cricket season. So obviously all there other clubs are wrong? obviously you guys don't have pride in your work and work in a place where the wrong decisions of others directly effects the quality of work you produce

portland is a grade cricket club oval
districts will hopefully be playing finals cricket
rosewater the under 14's would be playing there for finals I think, could be wrong with that 1

maybe those clubs dont have curators that can get there on a friday and prepare it before saturday
maybe kilburn has a road that doesnt get effected by football boots, unlike a softer cricket pitch?
there would be heaps of different reasons, and if life members and club stalwarts have said it is ok to play on and wont effect the condition of the pitch, I think they would have a fair idea mickey!

Rosewater???
trial there tonight
have been training over it all summer
the wicket there not crash hot anyway

[Bluedemon]

There is also a LO.D game being played tonight at Kilburn.

[mickey]

club members and the like have little to no idea on the workings of a cricket pitch, most think that you can prepare a wicket at the drop of a hat. And i can guarantee that all the oval's mentioned above will have a curator attending the pitch today and everyday of the season. And to say that last nights trial game did no damage to the pitch just shows the lack of knowledge on the subject. The amount of sprig marks left on the pitch for tonights game and the game tomorrow has left it looking like swiss cheese.

Are you the curator Mickey?

I saw Gaza training Thursday, didn't see anything roped off.

[mickey]

was wondering how long it took someone to work it out. Yes shrek, i am the curator of the wicket at blair athol reserve and the other 3 ovals in the enfield half of the council while the regular 1 is on holidays. Last season i did them myself but was down the port end for most of this season.

Mick, what worried you might have to spend a extra hour on the pitch
and it might eat into your time sitting under the tree having a snooze

Kilburn B3 side are batting on it tomorrow mickey - just leave it how it is this morning

[TEX07]

Lets face it, the amount of money a cricket club brings into a football and cricket club is quite a bit less than that of football, a clubs success and the money they make comes predominately from the football, hazard to say that without a kilburn football club there would not even be a kilburn cricket club. So to be honest who cares if you have to work on the pitch to make it work are you not getting paid to do this? or are you a volunteer that does it out of the goodness of your heart?

[footballfollower]

Tex07,,,, If he is doing the pitch he works for the Council
Interesting how he is on here talking about it during the day, perhaps he has a laptop while he is on the roller
