GRADE 2 LADDER
Units 129.50: Craigmore(H), Riverside(A).
Lodge 96.46: North(H), West(A).
Craigmore 95.88: Units(A), ATCO(H).
Riverside 80.14: OTH(A), Units(H).
Westies 76.11: ATCO(A), Lodge(H).
North 69.06: Lodge(A), OTH(H).
ATCO 59.63: West(H), Craigmore(A).
OTH 44.27: Riverside(H), North(A).

Units: Seem to have the ideal preparation for approaching finals, millions of points clear and play two other teams that are more than likely to play finals this season. I'm not a big fan of going through the season undefeated though, I would hate to see them collapse in a final after all of their hard work throughout the season.
Lodge: A magnificent effort from a B grade side in Grade 2, my new favourite team, hopefully they can win their last two and cling on to 2nd spot, the Craigmore vs the Huts match in round 14 could be their demise though.
Craigmore: Unlike last season's post Christmas form the lads from Craigmore have turned it around with a convincing outright against a struggling Billiegoat side. A huge test this match to see where they are at, the Units away could see them go into the finals full of confidence or it could leave them looking for answers.........what will it be.
Riverside: I think Katy Perry sings a song about these guys, on paper they have a very formiddable line-up, they just struggle to convert it to the field. 3 wins on the trot would suggest that they have found something, especially considering two of them were against other finals contenders. They do have Westies and North breathing down their necks if they drop the ball though, I still think they'll do enough to capture 4th spot though.
Westies: Once again, another solid performance from Westies B grade in grade 2, it's a redundant grade for them but they continue to produce the goods and blood some outstanding youth along the way. An outright win this week could see them in a strong position to make the 4, I'm thinking they'll end up 6th though again.
North: If they can knock off the Lodge this week it might just be enough for them to make the finals given that they play the Billiegoats in round 14 at home, the loss against the Huts on the weekend has really hurt their finals aspirations though and I think they'll miss out by a small margin.
ATCO: Need to finish the season on a positive note, a few young lads who would've gained from the experience this season and they would've been a happy unit Saturday night, the father/son opening batting pair is good to see.
OTH: These guys are digging deep into the cookie jar to get players on the park, it's good to see a few old stalwarts getting out there and helping the guys out, hopefully they get a much needed win with Danny posting a big score and taking some wickets.

Riverside need harris, edge and their opening bowler to stand out with big games.
units are the same with ritzema,vandalands and their opening partnership if these guys get going your in trouble!
craigmore need howe and ongley to get going to be a chance

PDCA Executive are a joke - how can they let this be
we might need to search for some more players to qualify so we can compete with TTG District sides

seriously though 4 games out of 21 is a tad strange and should be fixed up even though it wont make a difference to me next year

I think you are selling some teams short son of browny.
Howe has not done much for Craigmore since Xmas, Ongley has been ok.
I agree with your comments regarding Riverside, Harris is their X factor.
Units have been solid team all season with a few young lads leading the way, Woodward being the main stay with his batting & bowling.

Who are the X factors for Brahma's B grade?

[Browny25]

Tankard goes alright too for Units doesnt he?

[whufc]

thanks alot mate, it will be very very disapointing if we lose to the bottom placed side especially considering they lost first innings to 4th placed side last week. Though i wouldnt be surprised if Clint Pearce plays for their b grade again this week.

Atco are definatly a big chance in this comp especially considering their 'b' grade would probably beat their 'a' grade at present.

What is the qualification rule for playing b grade finals in the case of Atco, Smithfield and the Units.

Yeah mate, they have some tsalented players in their group, I've always rated Fry with the bat, Kelly with the ball and Townley is a very capable all-rounder, mind you, our batting was woeful though apparently, they heard "quick runs" and went stupid.

What does Kelly bowl like, he didnt play against us in the first round but obviously bowled well against your lads.

[sports follower]

Pearce has been playing in Vales B grade

[whufc]

Pearce has been playing in Vales B grade

Due to a bit of miscommunication Clint has decided that he would only be playing b grade in the second half of the season for Angle Vale. Unfortunatly for him his had a fair few injuries this season and hasnt got on the park an awfully lot, he should be back this week though.

Westies: Despite having only moderate success so far this season

Gee, we've only lost to Virginia this season. Can't be going that badly.

Compared to previous seasons, you are sitting 4th mate, sorry to upset you, you aren't exactly flying.

I'm not upset, just pointing out an inaccurate statement. We're the only side not to have lost to a top 4 team, we've won 8 games with 2 losses, a tie and a draw (from a very winnable position). Winning 4 games for every 1 you lose is pretty successful as far as I'm concerned.

yeah i knew i would forget some guys in here but these are the names teams know.
all i was saying though is if these guys have a day out or get their team going early its normally gonna change the game in some way

correct - but hey they play by the rules as it stands and we have to just keep on winning
we probably get tarnished with we have blokes that should be playing higher in the club but a bit of difference from ex District players to ex Para Districts average Grade 1 players

Plus it is technically their A Grade and our E Grade the other factor from the our Club's point of view would be that all our other 4 Grades are either top or second so its not like we have a stacked side

You go girlfriend Difference of opinions. If they were sitting top I'd say they've been successful, I'll stick by my words. No one has really taken the comp by the balls for any length of time, there's been hot streaks but they have faded out.
You didn't lose to Virginia, you got smashed by them, don't take other opinions to heart, like I said, you are probably still the most complete all-round side and the most dangerous come finals time.

I'm all for expansion but the buck has to stop somewhere, where do you draw the line for boundaries? Wasleys to TTG is a fair hike, I don't think teams should be allowed to just compete in the one-day comp unless they not give it a Grade number and play it as a seperate identity.

Rosies: Not an overly impressive batting display last week in the absence of their captain, will need to be on top of their game to knock the West off, will we see Feltus steaming in??Disgusting display and lack of application, and it would appear a degree of complaceny. you can bet that will be slapped out of them quick smart ... not Feltus for the remainder of the season, doctors orders.
Westies: An important match for them, can consolidate top spot, seems more than likely to finish minor premiers regardless of this games result given that they play the Teachers at home in the final round. Would imagine that yes regardless of this weeks results will have the minor flag, the advantage of playing on a shoebox & having a very favourable run home
Pines: The only apparent threat to the top two teams, will be interseting to see how they fare against Rosies in round 14. Useless
Virginia: A win will cement 4th spot after an admirable loss to Rosies, they would've gained some confidence from that. Kudos to Virginia, really hit their straps past few games, have put up some very large totals as well as giving R&C a good scare last round.
Teachers: Gave their finals aspirations a fair slap with their shock loss to Wasleys, i think the horse has bolted. Useless
Two Wells A small glimmer of hope to polay finals, need a solid performance this week followed by an outright next match. Dont deserve to be there IMO, have had opportunities and haven't capitilised on them.
North: Need an outright for any sort of hope, could happen at home against Wasleys. No finals chance, Wasley might even be a sniff
Wasleys: A win for the PDCA last week, I think everyone except for Para Teachers was excited for the boys from Drovers Run.[/quote] Awesome work by the lads at Wasleys getting that win, so good for them and the club, really happy for them!

You must have a keen interest in your B's as well mate given the fact you have been floating between the two Grades. What's your availability on the Semi Final & Grand Final weekends? Bound to be some tough decisions at the selection table.

I have a keen interest in the B's because they are travelling very well, and would be great to see them have some success. At the moment, I would definitely consider their season a success, irrespective of what happens over the next few games.

Wont be much thinking going on, like EM said on my form I will be suiting up for a premiership in the C's

No availability issues after the Smithfield game, so will be looking forward to playing some finals, whether it is A or B grade. It's not up to me to decide.
