Any coincidence that the scoreboard from Week 1 had anything to do with one of the best decks/draining grounds in the comp being the only one (outside Jack Grut) that didn't get up in the South on Saturday? Most have been keeping it cherry ripe for the Sunday D1 comp I spose....

i'm with you redefine, deck at chelsea is always a treat every time except when you are the opposition & batting the 2nd week.

yeh, i travel past chelsea's ground quite regulary & fair to say that the covering of the square over last week wasn't a high priority. definately a team/ground you want to bat first against/on any chance you get!

C'mon Southern a bit of a gee up lets not take it to heart hey?

Middle Park, that's no surprise. Doesn't the golf club do their table anyway? By the way, if your Kingston Council club & your in desperate need of Merry Creek soil like us then there will hopefully be some available this week. Don;t expect it to be delivered but hit up Trent in Sport & Rec &...

DH, that's crazy stuff. You need to get the dib dib dob dobers over to run aclub BBQ for you each Saturday to make up the difference. Fair call to all who want to keep the 1st week of Oct but my point is that we ae getting done over here year on year paying for ground hire that we don't use...

DH, hmmm that has a real Kingston Council smell about it. From being let down too many times I see the most important club appointment being your curator. A shonky curator is a club killer. Scorer, why the penny hasn't dropped with the VTCA with a 1 in 10 playing record for Rnd. 1 beats me...

DH, someone smarter than me will have a record of how many Rnd. 1 games have been played in the last 10 years. As it wouldn't be many I reckon anyone with Turnbull Stakes tickets each year can safely head to the races on the first Sat in October. Why pay for a week that we never use? Councils...

1st time forum poster, long time VTCA player/curator. Three things that become apparent at this time of the year is that 1. Clubs need to find a way to take control of preparing their own wickets. Many clubs in the South are used to preparing their own & I dare say that the majority of those...
