F/U dropped at least 5 as well. " What if, if only,no luck, they had all the luck, what if, what if, what if, what if.

Bit harsh. T.J. doesn't come cheap. Their are plenty of clubs in Nth "A" and "B" who are willing to pay his price, so why go to a higher level if it's not nescessary. F/U will have a couple of retirements namely Nudger and Preecey. They will have to recruit two players to cover them plus an...

Interesting, thanks for the heads-up. First mistake. If their was any posibility of inclement weather even on a Wed , the covers should have been put on. You don't put it down to bad luck. Second mistake. The council should have been directed to turn off the automatic sprinklers on thursday and...

If Grand United were to be admitted to the V.T.C.A. twenty clubs would leave the association. I can think of 10 right now who would leave immediately. There is already talk now of reviving the old S.C.A. perhaps under a different name. The V.T.C.A. would be ill advised to push any buttons.

If that were to happen, which competition would Grand United end up in. Churches or Ballarat perhaps. It would be a pity to see Laverton go back to the old stamping grounds if a Western Division is created. I think they would be better served playing in a good standard Nth"A" Comp and striving...

I suppose they prefer to jump hens.

Yep I agree. Pretty ordinary effort for a host club.V.T.C.A. should seriously consider leaving them off the list as hosts for next season. Appears nobody wants to be responsible. Re Achilles. Preece 33, Chand 35, De Silva 28, McKay 32 and De Silva 56 in the second dig all got reasonable starts...

Guru you and Pump mentioned pre-season Tulla had picked up Ryan Achilles from Nth Melb. Played 2's and 3's at Nth. He's averaged 6 all season. Tulla would be disappointed by that, Would'nt you say? Failed in the Granny on a plum deck, both innings.

Lock it in. Lavo Nth"A" Premiers next season. Odds $3.25.

Correction. Preece played in one premiership at Strathmore and two at Footscray United. The last one being today V Tullamarine. 20/03/11.Nth "A" Comp. V.T.C.A.

Me too. I still don't understand what the hell he was on about. Maybe he's a new immigrant from the Sudan.

Roy, as "On the lookout" correctly pointed out, Preece played in a Premiership at Strathmore. He was later recruited to Footscray United for huge dollars (almost broke the bank) and played in an "A" Grade premiership with O'Reilly in 98/99 in the now defunct S.C.A. I did say O'Reilly was...

Fair enough Canary. Preece and O'Reilly began their careers as open bats. Whatsmore they played on uncovered wickets. In those early days prior to covered wkts coming into vogue, when conditions for batting were poor, top order bats were expected(and most did) to wear a few. When the going got...

Interesting predictions there Guru. Afraid I differ. Footscray to get up mainly due to the fact of their finals experience. 5 in the team have played in "A" Grade premierships and know what is required. When the bowling is tight and there is not much on offer, patience at the crease is required...

Canary, you are picking on two players(O'Reilly and Preece) whom do not have to prove anything to anyone as they have done it all. O'Reilly has played in an "A" Grade premiership where he opened the batting making 75 not out. Preece has played in two "A" Grade premierships that I'm aware of...

Since when can you water a pitch when stumps a drawn on saturday, when play is to continue the following day. (Sunday)

How fast is quick in your opinion canary. Why would a batsman fear a quick. The advantage a quick has over a medium pacer is that he causes batsman to rush their strokes depending on ability. You mentioned Greenidge when he was over here some years back playing for Albion. He was certainly quite...

Your wrong there Canary. The more you give it to O'Reilly, the harder he digs in. As far as that ridiculous person Scott is concerned, he's been an abject failure. He's more concerned with inane abuse of opposition bats than playing good cricket. When he bats he gets as good as he gives which...

I'll miss the first week-end. Wife is dragging me down the coast to Port. I'll be back for 2nd week. May see you around then. Should be a good game.

Roachy this and Roachy that. I'm sick of hearing about Roachy the $2.00 coach as he goes from club to club doing nothing on field as they sing his praises about how well he does off field. I tell you what, he must be well hung.
