Congratulations to their C grade.
The A grade however...have taken the whole association for a ride.

North Haven win section 2 in an absolutely cracking game.

Chasing 176, went from 1/102 to 9/134, before a gutsy 10th wicket stand got them home.

Our Morphy Park lads gave their all, but fell short (again). Shattered.

Well done NH.

Let's get a few things straight here.

Clubs in the association are more annoyed by the reason WYC asked to go down. Losing players. That's not a reason to take the easy option.
Relegation and promotion has worked well for teams for years. Club's have good times and have bad times.

ICC winning section 3, then threatened to take their club elsewhere if they couldn't go down to section 4 is another joke. Made the gf, with results still not up.

Happy Valley, 2 years ago sooked it up the same. Lost players, want to go down. Finished top in all 3 grades, won 2 gfs.

FWIW, Morphettville Park A grade lost 4 players from last season's gf team. Opening batsman, numbers 3 & 4, plus Opening bowler. Got on with the job, promoted our kids, made another gf (and lost again).
Maybe we'll lose another 1-3 players, but we'll jump back on the horse, and have another crack.

Losing players is NOT a reason to ask for favours. Tough it out.

Enjoyable night at the 125th dinner on Wednesday evening.

The Morphy Park table was a bit rambunctious, but we had some goid laughs.

We may not have won any premierships, but our A, C & D grades won the "spirit of cricket" awards, and our E grade were 2nd by .2 of a point.
We may not be very good, but at least we try to play in the right way.

Congrats to all teams, award winners and Russ Curyer on another section 1 medal.

I didnt see a Sutton Derby table, but i could be wrong.

The only dampner was hearing about our club legend Jonh (Jack) Voyzey. We hpoe you get better old mate.

Cheers moe
