Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association

Anyone know if the churches have scrapped their turf competition for the next season due to lack of teams and lack of turf grounds?

It appears Little River c.c may join the churches comp. Not sure what grade at the moment.

We are playing against last years Turf premiers Melton Centrals in a practice game in the next few weeks, will be intersting to see how we go. We will be a little undermaned with one of the Kukucka cousins having a christening which wipes about half of last year B Turf Premiers side. Still should be a good game never the less. Will give a report back in the comming weeks as to the standard of the opposition...

That will be great if you could, I've heard that Melton Centrals might be leaving the comp and playing in the Gisborn comp, have you heard anything???

Had a good chat with there captain coach last season during the practice match we had which was a total wash out.


He conveyed they were disappointed at the churches as some of their games were scheduled to play Sundays because of lack of turf grounds. They werent happy with this and were looking to the VTCA, however l beleive they didnt have any luck as they dont have a home turf wicket.

I think the only way they would move to the Gisborn comp if they allow them to play all their games away on turf, l dont even know if the gisborn comp has turf cricket?

WDCA I have played against your side and seen a lot of Melton Centrals play and to be honest I think they will be too strong for you. In my opinion the top 3 sides of the churches comp (Melton Centrals, St Johns and Willi Congs) would all be capable of winning the B Turf comp and also be competitive in A turf, more than likely push for a top 4 finish. The only problem with the Churches turf grade is that the gap to the 4th best side is massive, atleast it has been so lets hope that isnt the case this year.
