Grade Cricket

[Brodlach]

Damned if you, damned if you don’t

Can’t alter rules because an unexpected club gets relegated

[River Murray]

I am bemused by Glenelg playing in Division 2 - this is not progressing cricket in SA , I would much prefer to see relegation occur after 2 seasons of results. The teams such as Glenelg who have a number of first class cricketers are at a distinct disadvantage over the minor round season.

Prospect and Southerns are permanently in the wilderness in division 2, numerous players who are B/C grade cricketers filling up their teams.

Doggett, Mc Sweeney, McInerney playing against C graders - why?

Good way to push cricket backwards in this state over the journey - change the rules around relegation quickly.

Winning the shield has got absolutely nothing to do with 2 divisions in grade cricket. It has all to do with changing the culture that existed within the Redbacks admin.

Struggle to see what Sturt have achieved today against WT, building a culture of failure with such a defensive attitude.

at the end of last year.......I was arguing this....my old club from years ago......relegated to the J grade division......and was howled down

got told rules are rules.....idiotic that my old mob are playing against blokes who cant play

Eff Glenelg. Don't get relegated, don't have this chat.

Relegation only exists because SACA was too gutless to turf perennially under-performing grade clubs and raise the standard of the competition.

That would have been too logical

So instead we have a patented South Australian one way freeway solution

The same system that won a Shield last season after a couple of decades of nothing?

shouldve booted port adelaide, prospect and university years ago.....Adelaide and East Torrens.....next in line
but the saca were weak as piss..... getting rid of those 3 clubs would have sorted everything

Sorry BL but the shield win had nothing to do with the 2 divisions. It was getting rid of an absolute dud coach and head of cricket which massively improved the culture of the place. I'm with Billy on this one (except the parts about Glenelg and Sturt).
