    Barclay Shield 2024/25

    Another ill-informed cheap shot. Clubs have been informed that this is a PlayHQ issue, and it has nothing to do with the DVCA or the administrator. Feel free to call the PlayHQ support line and get in the queue behind many associations having this issue.

    So what is the answer to this question?

    There are major issues with PlayHQ at the moment, with the backend not lining up with the operational aspects. Juniors fixtures are a priority at the moment, as they start on Wednesday and Friday, so they will be out on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively, closely followed by the F & G grade...

    Loyola is out of action for the season for drainage and irrigation works.

    Looks like the website has been updated with the Shield fixtures.

    Playing dates were released by the DVCA over a month ago - maybe ask your club for further details if you want to know more. If you want more information on the administrative runnings of the comp, speak to your clubs as I believe there was correspondence of what was happening in the past 2...

    What is considered early?? Surely mid July would be fine for this- a lot of work to do to work with Councils around ground availability and certain clubs requesting certain playing dates at home to assist with social events.

    I don't think that 'leaving the way it is' is the way forward. Need to be innovative and provide opportunities for players, both young and old, to be involved in the game, or we risk losing them. I love 2 day cricket, but it's not the be all and end all, if young players are good enough to...

    Glad to have opinions... Surely it's up to Club captains to be rotating the order as well, which gives more players an opportunity to bat higher up the order. Playing 1 day cricket gives all players around 20 chances to bat during the season, whereas now, It's not always just a matter of...

    Surely this could be looked at. What ages is this set for now? Under 14's or is it higher? Agree that they need to be able to bowl a full spell, although if it was 40 overs with a maximum of 6 overs being bowled per player, then this means that more people are getting a go.

    How can this be achieved fairly?? Some teams 3's aren't good enough to compete against other teams 3's or maybe 4's? Agree that 2 up and 2 down would be a great leveler, but would also look at playing 1 day cricket from B grade down. More participation at all levels, games completed every week...

    I agree that the culture benefits of 1's and 2's playing the same teams creates some great chat among the teams. Yes, scheduling will be easier, and yes, the impacted clubs aren't significant, but there's some anomalies. Rosebank - now in Money, has their 2's in D grade, so that's a great...

    Step 1: Reintroduce Shield and Shield Reserve. What's the benefits of this?? Reasoning; give 5 positives.

    Yes, he is off to play at a higher level - it's called Barlcay Shield.

    BARCLAY SHIELD 2023/24

    Don't lug 'every' club in to this argument....it's poor form and shows a lack of respect for that club trying to make some coin. It's not like the prices at clubs are high. Agree, nothing can be done about it, but it's still a shit look.
