Northern Areas Cricket Association

Local cricket is the go here. Any talk about local comps, grade cricket, etc.

Northern Areas Cricket Association

Postby Sky Pilot » Tue Oct 04, 2011 3:33 pm

The second season of the NACA hits off Saturday October 8.
This ten-team competition came into being as an amalgamation of the Mount Maurice and Belalie-Mokota associations in time for the 2009/10 season.
Wilmington-Melrose beat Pekina-Carrieton in March to claim the inaugural premiership.

This thread is to encourage discussion on the NACA and what moves are going on where and by whom?

Previous easy-beats Spalding have got their season off to almost the perfect start. As an outsider with a keen interest in the comp it would seem that the club was almost done and dusted. Hats off to them for sticking with the cause and getting some good results on the board.

No B grade in NACA or Rocky River comps but the kids (under 14 or 16 I think) play a combined junior colts comp

Denis redden bats at 4 and Brodie O'Dea opens. Liam is in Port Lincoln. WM won in a canter yesterday, their second flag in four starts. The boys will all be in the bottom pub in Melrose today I reckon.

Pekina had a pretty dirty day. Tennis GF was in Pekina and they went down to Booleroo by 12 games. Great day despite wind and dust. And by virtue of a pretty non-community attitude by the Booleroo Hotel management the Booleroo guys celebrated with Pekina, so yes the pub was packed to the rafters. Pretty good feed too just quietly. I left about 9.30 and none of the crickters had turned up by then.

Spalding start pre-season tonight in preparation for next Saturdays opening round.

Not sure about the ins and outs but listening to people around town they say everything from we are losing lots of players to losing no one.

Spalding comfortable accounted for Booleroo.

Was my first game in the comp and really enjoyed the day. Competitive but played in true casual country style. Obviously like a lot of the country comps the standard dramatically fluctuates from guns right through to very young kids and fill ins.

All Booleroo lads were top blokes and they hung around the club and then pub for at least 3 hours before starting their long pub crawl back.

Looking forward to returning the favour at their ground...…...if we play (game is scheduled for test weekend so we are pretty much no chance of getting a team)

Did have to laugh at Spalding's 'Im the man' helmet tradition.

After the game Spaldings man of the match must where this old visor less helmet which has 'Im the man' written on the front.

He is then given a 1.5l german imperial stein to which he has to drink out of for the night. The publican at the hotel tops it up with the first beer for free.

Where it gets fun is if someone asks him 'who are you' he must yell 'IM THE MAN'. If he refuses he then needs to skull.

First time ive seen that one and I will do everything possible from avoiding the helmet...….that shouldn't be too hard :)

Spalding made it 2 from 2 with a comfortable win over Belman.

Looks like Belman will be much stronger after Christmas when they get a few back after harvest.

Early top of the table clash next week with Spalding and Orroroo playing

First time I've checked into this site for years and staggered to see the changes and teams missing/amalgamated.
Distances travelled now remind me of the trips to Dawson - what a great venue that was.
Does Booleroo still play at the high school?
Good luck to all teams involved and make sure the tradition of northern cricket continues.
Luck is where opportunity meets preparation
