It will be a double header with the following games to be played.
12noon: Smithfield vs Playford
3pm: Eastern Park vs Craigmore
It promises to be an exciting day with drink specials and bbq and some entertaining cricket.
The tournament will be 3 rounds plus finals held at a different venue each round, all double headers, I'll post round 2 details when confirmed. At this stage it will be 23rd of November at Playford.
Who is competiting in this T20 comp?
Brahma Lodge dont get to defend thier title! We beat Smithfield in the last final!
No one showed any interest in a comp at the AGM or pre-season meetings, we got together with the 3 closest clubs to organize something between ourselves and set some amicable rules, all 4 clubs were in agreeance so we went for it.
If each club gets to host a double-header each, that would cover a round-robin comp plus a finals day, it's a good chance to make some coin and we set aside dates that suited all of us. It will be a busy day for any hosting club, but they'll only have to do it once.
If it works out ok, we will be having one annually, yes, you guys did win the last one that the PDCA ran, it was a shame that it died in the arse. We asked the 3 closest clubs for convenience reasons, if any of them weren't interested, we were simply going to ask the next closest and so-on. I can't see why you guys couldn't approach Westies, Sal Nth and perhaps Rosies to set up something similar, if teams don't have to travel too far you'll get good support and a good chance to make some money. PM me if you want to know any info on how we set it up to be an attractive proposition for all involved.
