Sunshine should win the GF by a mile. Tipping bat first and make 300+. Best batting side for the year usually wins the VTCA 4 day finals.

Haig will play finals and from there could be very st albans like. gun fast bowler. pretty average and standard batting line up. They need to bowl good sides out for under 150 to be a chance, but will smash the bottom sides. Pacco have picked up a couple from north melbourne but only lower...

look out vtca haha

Yep also heard this, from all I've heard they look to be trying to form a close bond between footy and cricket. Who knows it may work wonders as they won the edfl b grade footy grand final quite easily... There's a few good cricketers from other clubs such as greenvale, glenroy, and craigieburn...

North A - St Albans, Laverton will play finals in first season in A1 West B - Almost got to go with Altona as it hasn't got the most successful clubs in there North B - Craigieburn. Not playing much opposition either and have been cooped up in North B for a while now

Thats the best response given on here.

Agreed district 3s and 4s is still strong as you are playing against good, young kids (generally) who are looking for an opportunity to push to bigger and better things. The coaching is the biggest plus of this and results in not only seeing the improvement in player games (bowling/batting) but...

Finally someone makes some sense. The difference a year with much more credible and excelled coaches as well as turf training facilities is fantastic. Not every vtca or local club has the chance to play all 4 sides on turf and/or train on turf facilities. District cricket offers so much more...

yes all it takes is a bit of preparation and persistence. Sounds like hussler doesn't have any idea about any cricket besides what he currently competes in which is irrelevant in this thread if its true his club is not even involved in the vtca

Go to any successful local club and check out how far and high they let their juniors go only to reap the rewards in the future... It doesn't make a difference if the kids make it a district level its about having a crack and seeing how far they can go. There is no using!!! District clubs need...

So do you or husler have a clue about district cricket? It really doesn't sound like it buddy. Your kidding yourself if you think your opinion is correct and if it was once it defiantly isn't now

you are an absolute idiot you must be getting your club no where. Yes you never said anything in your original post about 13-15 yr olds but I did in my first few posts and you argued with those. Get a clue mate I hope you have nothing to do with the young kids at your local club

your an idiot. the point we have been making on here is that 3s and 4s subbies is great for 13 and 14 and 15 yr olds as it gives turf cricket oppourtunity. and if you've ever had anything to do with a district cricket club that fact is most kids playing 3s and 4s are probably no different to...

haha get a clue buddy. first of all, cricketers never get used at a district clubs. if they make runs in the 3s and 4s they progress simple. Local cricket clubs should be pushing their juniors to play higher. After all this is what junior cricket is for not to progress kids to your seniors in...

thats spot on from what i know. I think there should only be the bottom of the ladder relegated and grand final winner pushed up rather than 2 up 2 down can be a bit harsh

Yes, players will always come back if you've pushed them to higher levels, whether its 1 or 5 years

If you'd been around clubs and once were one of these 'riff raff' than you would know the importance to some players of playing sub district and district cricket even in the 3s and 4s. Agreed most players in the 3s and 4s subbies level are not that great however it gives a lot of young 14-16 yr...

yes heard pascoe vale have picked up very well indeed with a few young players tempted from north melbourne. not sure how true the rumours are though

Just wanted to create a thread for the moves going on and inside info in the northern suburbs for the coming season, and to get the chat away from the west based clubs.

I think it makes it tough to hand out awards for other grades other than the firsts due to a high amount of players being in and out of grades and therefore making it tough to gain a true understanding of the best player in the grade
