Any details from the game?

Yeah, top three sides are very handy, standard falls away a bit after that, most sides have a handful of very good players and the bottom three players or so in the lower sides tend to be strugglers making up the numbers.

A1's down to 7 teams with the merging of Watervale and Auburn-Mintaro.

Lol I'm actually down at Riverton every week now due to now managing the pool there as part of my job role

I've met a few of the Sevenhill lads and they seem like a good bunch, imjust excited to be paying different blokes every week

Hearing one of the b grade sides is really struggling for numbers as well

WAM!

Expect Lower North, Brinkworth-Koolunga, Sevenhill and Clare to again be the main players.

The merger of Watervale and Aub-Mintaro should strengthen their side/s.

I heard Long Plains was looking to put in a B grade?

[Hazbeen]

Long Plains looking to drop out of A1 down to A2

[happyhawk]

Not good for the comp if true

[OnSong]

Not good for the comp if true

They'll battle it out in be A1s but they'll struggle big time.

[happyhawk]

Surely Pym and Warnes will keep them competitive

[Mythical Creature]

I think the league wanted Long Plains to drop to B Grade, but Longies wanted to stay up.
What are peoples thoughts on the merger of 2 clubs for A grade but keep B Grade separate. Its ridiculous that its allowed. You're either a club or your not.

[Mythical Creature]

Surely Pym and Warnes will keep them competitive

Warnes and Jones will. Not sure Pym will play too many games to be honest.
Look out for "H" though, once he learns the rules of the game, how to bowl without a bent arm and which end to hold the bat he will be deadly.

[happyhawk]

I guess it's keeping a reasonable standard in the A grade. Otherwise some very strong players in the b grade or very weak A grade teams. By still keeping seperate clubs going it keeps the door open to put an A grade team in in future years.
