A1 and A2 finalists are settled. Para Hills, Pooraka, PAOC and Walkerville in A1 and in A2 it will be Ingle Farm, Old Scotch, Unley and Woodville Rechabites. A3 does my head in. Gepps Cross and Old Ignations plus two others. You tell us.


Trinity would also be guaranteed. Could almost jump old Iggies and Gepps with their outright win. Golden Grove would need a big stuff up as well to miss.

Yeah, the top 4 does look set. Brahma need to beat Golden Grove and somehow get an additional 3 more bonus points. That won't be easy

Brighton would be dirty they didn't get on Saturday. Big job to beat Scotch and stay up, especially with the 350+ they're scoring each weekend.

Hi All,

Sorry to hijack your page

I just wanted to post the following. Good luck to you all with the upcoming finals

North Eastern Knights Cricket Club

Based at Greenacres and in our first year at PDCA, we are looking for expressions of interest for the 2018/2019 season. Ideally we are looking for someone who has played in Adelaide Turf or a high level within PDCA to assist our club in both a coaching/player role, providing valuable experience to our players while also helping with recruitment if possible.

We are a positive, family club with great facilities, various off field events and are very keen to establish ourselves within PDCA. Currently our A Grade are sitting 3rd in Div 2 and our B Grade are sitting 3rd in Div 4 but we are ambitious and would love to improve both grades and be successful at the highest possible level within PDCA.

Please contact myself, Peter Atkins on here or at pistol211@yahoo.com to discuss the above further.

And also Pulteney's last game as a club....hearing whispers of a merger between Glenunga and them in the off-season. A disappointing result if it was the case. Although the ATCA have brought in a few clubs over the past few seasons (Adelaide Lutheran, Sturt in LO2 etc), it should be concerning to lose Penfield and possibly Pulteney from the A Grade Competition.

I still believe a 10 Team Competition is the way forward - 9x2 day games with two weekends set aside (around Xmas) for Triple Headers of T20s - good way for clubs to make $$ through the bar, doesn't compromise clubs especially the strong A1 clubs who have to field two + teams first week back in the new year and just keeps the competition strong.

That's interesting. Their football clubs supposedly came quite close to tying the knot 12-18 months ago. Would make some sense.

This would be a great structure. Ten teams with top four plus two relegated keeps it interesting for every team right through to the end of the season.

T20s when the BBL is on and it's flavour of the month would be good too.

This doesn't surprise me. Pulteney looked like they were in all sorts of trouble when we played them. They were having fun, but certainly didn't look a club on the up and up.
You're my only friend, and you don't even like me.

I am not so sure about relegation....I know clubs struggle to recruit when listed in an A4/B1 Competition so there needs to be some adjustment to the promotion/regulation by-laws. Perhaps your A Grade cannot be relegated from A4/B1 just to help these clubs out. Plus looking at the ladders across the competition - Kilburn, Gaza, Adelaide Lutheran, Para Hills B Grade could certainly play in an A4 Competition to make the A Grade (A1-A4) full of 40 teams.

Kilburn need to get into a division with umpires supplied every week. Witnessed the worst ever case of cheating last weekend. Never seen the entire fielding side so worked up over a non decision.

Nah, why drop back from 21 weeks to just 18.

The proposal for 8 team comps is FAR better. Play everyone home and away in 7x2-dayers and 7x1-dayers to maintain the 21 weeks cricket.
Also provides a good mix of both 2-day and 1-day games, as over the last 5 seasons there has been a strong push to the 1-day format, lets limit that drain and keep as many teams as possible in the 2-day comp.
Also with 4 of the 8 playing finals, and 2 getting relegated, it keeps all the games relevant.

Quite a few clubs starting to fall into this category.

The worst part is when they then get umpires, the opposition has to pay half, despite the fact that it is the other team that has created the need for an umpire.
These repeat offenders that are causing umpires to be allocated to their games should be charged the full cost.

I heard last night that next year 12's and 10's will be playing on shorter turf wickets.
Brighton did it on their no1 ground on the weekend, so bowlers running in on a good length.
Curators nightmare!

I'm a big fan of the 8 team comp as outlined by Trader. Should never be playing T20 games for points.

Yep, a CA directive!!! I see teams score 17/89 and crap like that, when will administrators stop sanitizing our sports?

Curators won't mind*. It's the creases/footmarks at each end that become the biggest issue during a season. This will actually spread the wear and tear out a bit.

*well, curators don't want any junior cricket or extra games played on their wickets really. So they 'won't mind' anymore than they do already

50-80+ extras in an innings is excrutiating though. Teaches nothing

except that footmarks will now be on a good length for proper cricket. Junior cricket wouldn't be as big of a problem of they wore spikes. Rubber soled shoes is what does the damage

Rubbish! I encourage juniors to play on turf as much as we can.
The wear marks will now be in the danger area hence curators nightmare comment.
