Re: Williamstown and District Cricket Association (WADCA)

Get your hand off it mate !!
Have a look on My Cricket
2004/05 played 11 games in North Altona's 1's for 31 wickets - a fair effort
2005/06 played 12 games in North Altona's 2nds for 23 wickets - pea heart
2006/07 chased coin and went to lowest VTCA division at Flemington and took 36 wickets.
The guy is 35 years old - if he's one of the best going around, doesn't say much for the quality in the Comp.

Hard to believe people played cricket before 2004/05 eh?

The post was in response to some rubbish that Charlie had taken 60 wickets in a Season at North Altona.
My other point was that at 35, if he's one of the best the Comps got, then the standard isn't great.

Fair enough - although you will find that Charlie DID in fact take 60 wickets in a season at Altona North AND bowled 12 blokes off a no-ball in the same season. It was in the late 90s.

Will leave questions regarding the standard of A-turf to others. But I dont imagine it is that great.

Congratulations to Wyndhamvale, needed some excellent catches to be held yesterday to get accross the line in an exciting finish. Deserved Premiers...well done.
To GU, an amazing streak and the way they handled themselves in defeat yesterday is a credit to their club.

Question is...how many of that ageing and now beaten side will be taking up the real challenge of reclaiming their crown...listening to rumour yesterday there will be a few players pulling the pin and hanging them up....

And the much maligned Dolz took one of those great catches and made a very valuable 30 odd on Saturday. Well done Dolz, well done WV.

Re: Williamstown and District Cricket Association (WADCA)

After a 75 year association with the Churches competition the Altona Roosters, formerly Yarraville Baptists have been forced to make the tough decision to leave the churches comp in the turf grades for obvious reasons as you may well be aware.

I would formally like to invite any parties interested in joining us on our quest to greener pastures.

The Altona Roosters are also looking for an experienced person/persons to help take us to the next level…

Remuneration will be considered based on Communication skills, experience, ability and Knowledge.

Rest assured you will be supported by a club that has Stability, unity, vision and a committed administration.

We hope to inject some youth and experience to our list moving forward.

We have 4 senior teams and 3 junior teams 11’s, 13’s, and as of next year 15’s.

Ninety percent of our current first X1 are in their early twenties and we believe we show a lot of promise moving forward.

If you are looking for a fulfilling and rewarding challenge this is it!

We can be contacted on Western Suburban Churches Cricket Association blog - send Big Coq, Tram or Roosters Hack a private message.

A sensational Grand Final, which Wyndhamvale deservedly won. Top work GU for the fight back, but the best team over the 4 days won in the end.

All the best for next season

Re: Williamstown and District Cricket Association (WADCA)

Here is my end of season report for each club.

Wyndhamvale- A good chance to go back to back, need to keep same side and recruit a few new bats and improve the wicket(stating the obvious)

GU- Need fresh blood or get Chuggy back.But always strong at the business end of season.

Digman-Another team who need some new players to freshen things up.Probably only need another 2 players and perhaps a change in leadership?Imagine will be spending big $$$$ in off season

Gimps-Poor finish to promising season.Probably 2 bowlers short of a premiership side.Will be interesting to see if Hinton stays($$$$$$$)

Laverton-The biggest losers. Had the side but started poorly and if had made finals would probably be celebrating a premiership.Need 1 more bowler i believe.

W Newport-Have one of the best bowling attacks in comp but need at least 4 new bats to make finals

Willy Colts- Strange club/strange team .Need new captain/coach .

Gelibrand- Competitive but need a couple of bats and at least 1 bowler.

Hoppers club- Need at least 6 players to just be competitive

ANA- Need 6 new bats ,4 bowlers and a wicket keeper.

No offence meant to any clubs and probably just stating the obvious with most clubs but would be interested to hear other views.

agree with most of your comments.

Regarding wyndhamvale only lost Plummer so should be near the top again.Our wicket is now in control of the club not the council so expect a marked improvement on it.

Disagree with your call on Laverton though. Wouldn't have been celebrating if they made the finals. Need to get there before you can make a call on that.

Newport, whilst having a reasonable bowling attack seem to have more fight after they have lost the game. For them to go any further a new captain is a must.

These are my personal opinions only

Maybe some of these sides are stagnant and need a fresh challenge.

Take Newport Digman for example. Given the ground, facilities, investment in players and quality cricketers/people that they have down there, they really should be better.
Some may argue that they have made the GF last year and Semi this year, but they just give the impression of a club struggling to make any sort of impact in the WDCA and need a fresh challenge.
