The pasty at Morphy Parks will be the smallest and oddest shape oval for many players in Div 4 this year. Loved playing on it myself, although many didn't.

Bice Oval always seemed pretty big.
Where's Bill? Yeah... Hmm... Bill is on the Villa Quatro, on the road to Salina. I will draw you a map.

Park Ten used to be about ten to fifteen metres wider and about ten metres longer. Warm up laps seemed to take forever.

Always found Thebarton and St Mary's to seem to be way too wide and a real pain to umpire on. Eastern Park and Ovingham seem too short but at least Eastern Park has width.

I remember playing cricket at Houghton Primary and it was tiny even as a grade six tyke. Enfield High had the most entertaining cricket ground with the fence being about 30 m on one side and about 90 metres on the other with a massive gum tree in the field of play. Didn't mind fielding under it though.

Park 10's outer wing is enormous.
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?

Let alone how confusing whistles from adjacent soccer games can be!
