Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association
big coq, where do i start??? you helped the association out last season, yes, but get off your high horse champ, you claim of saving the turf comp is a big statement. turf would of continued one way or another dont you worry about that. doing so last season does not automaticly make it your god given right to hold the wsucca at ransom so you can satisfy you and your clubs selfish desires. your club made this association the laughing stock of all associations by insisting on having 2 teams in the one grade. it also showed how weak and incompetent the commitee that runs this assoc is. giving so called young kids the opportunity to play turf is one thing, but teaching them to except defeat every week cant be good for anyone. of the 7 so called youngsters you named, 3 played consistantly in your 2nds, b.potae, t.potae and azza. jb and moona have played at least a season on turf b4 and (mr big fish in a small pond) heke, played 3rds all season bar 1 game. yeah yeah i know about his injuries, but if he can play in the 3rds and make 1000 runs, surely he can play in your mickey mouse of a 2nds team. also these guys in their 20s are not young kids, you should be blooding 15 to 20 year olds. by the way big coq, i'll tell you what failing week in and week out does to your club, it breeds a culture of 2nd best is ok. loosing is like a cancer, if you dont stop it early, it will consume all of you! you get no belief and developement from getting smashed every week!

If my memory serves me correctly we saved the Turf comp last year.
As a forward thinking club we felt 2 turf teams will give our next tier of players a go on Turf instead of getting beat in A matts by Melton Sth & Caroline Springs & at that point we didn't know that these two clubs were splitting thus creating an inbalance of teams.
Giving young players an opportunity was the main objective of Turf 2.
The following players may not have stared but but they will be better for the run. J.B.(21),Azza (23),Luke(22),Moona(21),B.Potae(19),T.Potae(21),Heke(23). For me it was never about winning and losing it was all about Belief & DEVELOPMENT.
The way i see it is you should be prapered to take a risk and fail and only thru failure can you truly grow and improve, or you can go with the flow and wonder about the what if's.Taking Risks is what life is about and you never never know if you dont have a go.....
I would love to do it all again i have no REGRETS. actually i hope we have Turf1 & Turf 2 next year this would make the comp fair dinkum and definetly rival the Willy Comp as we have better grounds and a sounder admin.................
Billy ur Bang on well done cant find any faults with this years Top 12.
Boyd has done well but he is young and if he continues to go the way he is going his time will come.
i am sure all players from other teams feel they could sqeeze one of there own blokes in i.e.cussik.
