The clue is in the wording - further "North". North Pines and Salisbury North confirmed.

Would have to be two of AV, Virginia, Dublin? All 3 of those clubs are real solid on and off the field and would be surprised if the BLCA had many reasons to reject them.

Two Wells don't have their shit together enough unless they think the move will draw in players like it has for Long Plains.

Will say though there always seems to be a rumour or two about PDCA joining other comps but rarely do they come to fruition.
I would say the list of requirements to enter the BLCA would be quite onerous and gut feel is that I find it unlikely that any would be accepted

Whilst I hope they don't leave I reckon AV in particular would be a great fit for the BLCA. Not that far to travel. Always get their 4-5 solid senior teams at all levels. Have women's teams and junior teams. In a growth suburb. with a lot of sustainability. History of being a very well run club.

Downside would be whether they would ever be able to get a turf pitch in there especially given the amount of issues the Council have had just getting the ovals right over there.

I think that one of the clubs in question would be an attractive candidate for the BLCA.

A lot will hinge on whether their local council would be willing to come to the party with converting their pitch to turf.

If its AV i would say that could be an issue. That Oval has had lots and lots spent on it and lots has gone wrong.

The cost to put in a turf pitch and the double up of moving to a comp outside of their Council region might be problematic.

Whilst I have no idea if they are club 2, Angle Vale have a 2nd oval deeper into their complex closer to Angle Vale Road, it has lights and other facilities, it is neatly tucked away past the soccer pitches, near the netball courts, it looks quite impressive.

It will be used this year by their juniors on Sunday's to lighten the traffic on their main oval, I must say, usually the Angle Vale main oval looks blotchy with about 4 different types of grass growing on it, it looked as good as I've ever seen it a couple of weeks ago.

Why is a turf pitch the barrier for AV? I thought BLCA was a mix of turf and hard wicket - isn't Gawler Central hard wicket?

For clubs to want to leave must mean they are slightly disgruntled in the PDCA......what reasons would those clubs have. At a guess the only things the Barossa offers that PDCA doesn't are, have I missed any.

-Separated competitions for each format
-Larger amount of teams in competitions
-Games on Turf
-Greater use of technology eg live scoring for nearly all games in the Barossa


One thing that stands out a tad is that the PDCA has somewhat failed to move with modern times eg not really embracing the technology available. Only just getting on board a proper T20 competition.

Or is it more to do with the player standards, unhappiness with administration.

Yes GC still is hard wicket and as such they are not allowed to play in A1. The top tier is turf only as a requirement. Centrals and South came in earlier but Sandy Creek who were the last PDCA club admitted to the BLCA had a requirement to have turf within a set time period to be admitted.
With Willaston recently having turf installed it is about 90% of clubs with turf now

can say if a turf wicket is not in the future planning then it is unlikely they will be admitted

as stated unable to play in A1 without turf, Willaston go up this year as premiers of A2 as their Turf will be ready to go
GC as runners up unlikely as their Turf future is still hazy

Could be any reason - unhappiness, location, turf, perhaps feel they've outgrown the PDCA.. who knows.

I've heard a few clubs mention this at times.....what does it actually mean.

Like SW could lay claim i suppose because they win that many bloody trophies. :lol:

For A2 teams this is a blessing, its more fun playing GC than South, despite removing a couple of clowns a few years ago their still a circus to play against

Yep they were an embarrassment the day they played in the T20 comp against Sevenhill and Spalding. Arguing all day with the umpires over the most minuscule calls, sledging fielders whilst Sevenhill played Spalding, bagging hard wicket to which I laughed knowing they had been on hard wicket for years. etc.

Was great when we (Sevenhill) beat them.....

Funnily enough 2 years later I moved to Spalding and now play for them, one reason being is they were a great bunch of lads to play against on that day.

Ultimately if you want to play in the top grade you need a turf pitch, South Gawler have been spared relegation because Gawler Centrals still have a hard wicket deck.

One competition growing, producing Grade Cricketers. One Competition slowly crumbling, refusing to change their script.

Would think the two clubs Virginia and Dublin with Barkers and Lay influencing, maybe Eastern Park with Head?
