A lot of the councils have moved to couch on their decks (and outfields as it is drought resistant) and it needs heat to get going. The seasons have changed down South and it is cold until November. Interrupted starts to the turf comps is now the norm. Cricket needs to start much later (about a...

Werribee won the club championship as they did 2 years ago. Very strong club.

I was told CV is keen to get subbies to expand to take another 4 clubs, on top of the 4 that are coming in....in 5 years time to take it to a total of 36. There is concern that not enough young players are being developed in other comps (due to the fight to avoid relegation). 40% of new players...

Seems to me money has a lot to do with being successful. Our middle of the road club is putting out teams on field 11, 12 or 13 points against stacked teams this year. Our council is one of the most expensive apparently and they do not recruit heavily due to it, so i have heard.
