Trial Games 2026

Postby wristwatcher » Tue Feb 03, 2026 12:34 pm

Would be interested to see who, where and when clubs are playing trials?

Also Salisbury North play Broadview on March 14th and we are looking to hire someone’s oval as both club have cricket on their respective ovals. If anyone has an oval or knows of one please let me know.

Long way away, but Lonsdale have their oval 24/7 if you get desperate. It is free on the 14th according to my information.

Thanks mate, appreciate the offer. I have been PM'd and been given 3-4 options but it would appear a few clubs don't like free money as i haven't heard back. We have a committee meeting tonight so will follow up and let you know.

I reckon that weekend would be the Gaelic Football Hannigan Cup Final so the ground won’t be available or set up for AFL yet. St Paddy’s Day on the Tuesday so the GF used to align. Not sure if it still does.

Oval sorted thanks gents. Looking forward to seeing the boys kick a ball in anger.

Thanks to the Units for their support.

Ive had that many phone calls requesting assistance with ovals on the 14th - including our club. :lol:

Even I've exhausted my channels.

Last round of cricket - it's going to be almost mission impossible - unless clubs that are playing on their ovals, are willing to start earlier and let other clubs piggyback on the back of their games.

We're supposed to be playing SMOSH on the 14th and Mitchell Park the following week

Yeah with Gather Round and Easter you’d think most clubs would be having a trial on 14th and cricket finals all over the shop. Our boys are undefeated and their GF won’t be until 21st assuming they make it.

Bit of an eyebrows raise in seeing your Valley of Hope playing a Div 7 club that didn’t play finals. Only a trial I guess. We played Glenunga last year in a trial last year which they won and we beat them twice in season. We took care of TTG pretty easily in another trial and they won the flag. As long as it’s a competitive hit out and teams stay major injury free it’s probably all good.

Don't even get me started on this.

You and me were both raised by the Garry McIntosh rules of Trial Matches.

I dont think any of our mens side will make cricket finals (dont quote me on that though, im pretty clueless where cricket is concerned)

Wow the 28th is early. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

I rate the Friday night trial and might try and get out to that to see who will be holding aloft the Podzuweit Cup!
