ECA always strong, so they bluddy well should be too. VMCU - they'll give the Mitchell Shield a shake as usual, but not that strong in other age groups, mainly because they have two sides. State Champs, 14s and 16s look like strong teams. Noticed Eldridge not in the Dowling Shield side - why not?
Jika - VMCU sides will be OK, not sure that the 16s can win it again, but they do have a stronger team than first thought, mainly because the Cowboys selections are very surprising. Many really good players were left out, so Jika benefit. Same deal only more pronounced in the 14s, in fact if you take out Morris & Di Battista I reckon the Jika U/14s would match the Cowboys easily.
North West and Moorabbin are always thereabouts.

eldridge did not make dowling as he has serious back injuries with stress fractures and has been unable to bowl. Unfortunately his batting of late has not been the best but ive heard he is on the up with his batting. Bit of a shame he didnt make it seeing as he made it as a bottom ager last year.

jika will have a strong 16s nothing much to say about the rest. cowboys will stuggle because of selections. Yates, Newell, Riddle should be in the side but now they are going to dominate vmcu especially with classy sub-district players with Yates, Newell n Fox. They will struggle to have a good bowling line up but have an unbelievable batting line up for such a competition. North west will be strong but Jika still team to beat. DVCA and HDCA will struggle as they lost all there top players to dowling.

yes newell and riddle also not named in the leader ship group of beitzel shield team with joe russo being named captain! Fox lives in the area of North East Falcons and got cut at the first stage. Fox stuggles againest the quicks and bowling isnt to great.
Cowboys under 14s relying on three players. Morris, Dibattista and Simmons and if they dont fired they are in trouble. Morris is a candicate for player of the tournament. Morris is a top act.

All you blokes who are actually considering that cowboys will be there or there abouts in dowling this year are actually puffin muffins.
I have played cricket against the JIKA/DVCA players who are eligible for Cowboys and the only decent cricketers have been Arthur Nitsopolous, Adam Marcon, Michael Sortino and a couple of others.
They will not trouble any of the leading sides.
My early tip is Barwon Rockets to beat South East in the final.
