No doubt HB would have been offered to stay up - or should have been.
Maybe they chose to go down if they feel they are not going to be competitive is MS??

Certainly would have thought if precedence was anything to go by then they should have been but 99.99% sure they weren't offered to stay up. Especially given that with 1 round to go last year with all the rain inturruptions there was a fairly compromised draw which had something like 4 clubs fighting it out for the honour of being relegated. At least riverside will be more confident of survival in money shield now.

Pains me to say that I dont think the clappers will have too much trouble staying in MS. I think there are a few people who over rate MS. I played 'C' grade last season, we were the only 3rds side in C grade, playing against everyone elses 2nd side and if Sth Morangs, Yarrambats, NEWs, Monts and Mill Parks 2nds are any indication of their 1sts ability then Riverside will comfortably stay up.

He has a rather large hole to dig himself out of after last season's carry on here coupled with his on-field failures, but a good start nonetheless.

Obviously Ash Wood has gone to Montmorency and Shane Waddingham has retired from 1st grade and may play a few games in the one day side if work permits. A few new faces at training but nothing to write home about at tis stage.

Knight to Eltham. That's a big loss for Lower Plenty's D Grade.

But will improve Elthams A Grade though.

Very goood CC:D

Tongs,

I must say your constant referral to imports is getting tiresome, we have one, who will be playing his 3rd season for the club and has already proved himself to be amongst the better cricketers in our comp. Costs less than a bloke with half his ability is looking for when you try and recruit blokes from other competitions and is a much better bloke than most of them. Makes sense i would have thought.

As an individaual, while i'm not all that comfortable trying to recruit players from within our comp,the reality is that it needs to happen to continue growth within your club. No longer do 6-8 kids graduate from u16's and play senior cricket, which is a shame. It's a hard one because i'd imagine that all clubs are the same in trying to recruit long term players and good club people, not many players change clubs and the ones that do are often susceptible to moving on multiple times.

For the record without naming names, i spoke with 3 people from rival clubs ( 2 x barclay, 1 x money - not tongs ), two were in regards to coaching roles and one was about playing only. Only one got past the initial phone call, and all 3 are staying at their clubs which speaks volumes for them as people in my book.

As for me "saying" out of the valley, well, let's just say i dont think we will cross paths on the cricket field for a while

And recruiting -

Out - Simon Baring

In - Roberts (coach), Daniel, Premukumara

I was obviously taking the pi$$ with Kleusner, but can confirm that we may have a recently retired test player make a cameo appearance if his schedule permits...... more than likely in a 20/20 game
