Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 2010/11

Has there been anymore feedback on the GCA having a netball comp this season?

And also how will it work if it does get up and running? How many teams per club, grades, divisions etc.?

It's probably not a bad idea for a perv during summer

I think if it does get up it will be ran as a more social type comp for the first couple of season's. Obviously the cricket clubs that are associated with football and netball clubs it is a bit easier for them to continue on with the netball during the summer. I think the GCA were setting up a working party to look through the setting up of a competition. The heat is obviously a factor with the courts but as there is day light savings the games could be played later in the evening. There is a few clubs which also do not have facilities for netball to be played at their grounds, i.e. South Barwon, Marshall, Murghey, Waurn Ponds, Manifold, to name a few. I think it will be a few years before it will grow to a good standard competition, it may just only ever be a social competition. Anything to promote physical activity is a good thing I suppose.

first i heard about it was on Monday night at our committee meeting. It would be pretty good for the clubs that can partake in it, especially if they don't get many females at the clubs apart from those that are married in or mothers/sisters of the players. More people spending money at the bar, and getting more people at functions.

if there's any truth to those rumours i wouldn't blame them. 6am sessions (which im guessing would be on a sunday) are ridiculous!

strewth 6am on a Sunday morning, may as well just take a bus around Home House/Eureka to pick up the dregs !! We struggle to get guys there at 10am, so would imagine 6am near impossible !

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 2010/11

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 2010/11

Thank God for the UCI Cycling In light of what happened at the MCG yesterday, it's an unexpected bonus to now not have to convince blokes to play cricket next Saturday. Will be interesting to see how many suburban and country leagues push their first day back 24 hours or kill it altogether.

The last time this happened was 20 seasons ago (and at least then we had 4 weeks notice), and due to the Thomson v GCA court case which was being played out at the time, the first week of cricket ended up being torpedoed as I recall.

Is the BPCA scheduled to start next Saturday?

dont shoot the messenger crktluva. just what has been floated. as it turns out 10k is being split between Cameron & Gill. now that i have heard from a more than reliable source.[/Q

10k for these 2, lucas needs to take 9700 of this as he's a proven performer with a good cricket brain and someone the young kids of o/grove coming through should take notice of but if gilly has something to say at training or on field you would have to laugh at him and give him the bird.

Money does not buy premierships - talented juniors that are treated with respect and dignity do. A brought premiership only upsets die hard club people who are over looked and sometimes lost for the short term gain. You will notice through history that clubs that have won many premierships, very rarely buy up big and do stay competetive for long periods of time. Clubs that havent won many premierships, very quickly fall from grace and do hover around the bottom until the next influx of cash turns up. Ocean Grove would spend their money more wisely on installing a big screen TV to keep ALL of their members happy.

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 2010/11

What do we reckon the chance of play for this weekend is, especially turf ? Those storms today certainly would have taken their toll on the wickets. Our square is okay as we got it covered but our outfield is a rice paddy, flatest and lowest oval down at South Barwon and water just sits there. Hopefully with no more rain it might dry out okay. I have heard Leopold's square might be struggling.

In regards to Thommy, generally when you have non South people at your club you don't really want to try and keep them there.
