You're probably right, but I have played my share of lower grade games, even a fourths game last year. As a matter of fact I have tried to have a season off a couple of times, but lack of numbers has forced me to play so as to ensure we have 4 teams. Our juniors (U/17) unfortunatley have had to merge with Commealla Wentworth, so we are struggling there as well. We do push our juniors through so they play at the highest level they are capable of, just like Adam Thomson & Chris Prevedello who are both playing 1st Division at the moment, one is keeping and batting 4 and the other is opening the bowling. You say you are a Merbein person so surely you would have been aware of this. Also my first name has two A's.

Geez just reading the points made in here sad about the Merbein under 17's merging!! anyway the future will hopefully be better, it's good to see real local people helping out their teams in need ! Setts have always had alot of people at trainng and in their teams maybe they or other clubs could spread out their players and help other clubs that are struggling!
any way my top 4 after reading the last few posts

West
Merbein South - sounds like they need some good batting perfomances as they have such a lot of good talent in their side!

Go the gol gol boys! must be something in young hogarth yet!! 1 last premiership perhaps?
Gee Fatgutz, you're a bit harsh on Hogarth I think. He's only won back to back Innes Medal's a few years ago and made "Team of the Year" last season. As for playings kids, there is Cameron, Hancock, Shepherd, Leske, Mcphee. How many kids do youy want in the side? I think he coached just about all of these kids aswell.........As for Aaron Walder and Bobby Parker -Not really in the same league as Hogarth. I think both would admit that.
Hogarth still goes ok! Just because he has no hair doesn't mean he can't play cricket anymore. Workers all energy going 1 direction amazing what a difference it can make. Definately the team to beat, must admit Hogarth lucky to make team of the year last year, there was another old bloke who made more runs at a better ave, and captained a premiership side, although he is prone to upsetting hierachies

Not sure about Workers being the team to beat but the reigning premiers are still looking alright and have won their last 2 games by 300+ runs. They are definitely travelling alright. Throw in a quality spinner in Fowle and they are almost a better side than last year and with Williams in amazing form they are the team to beat
I agree "Lad of the Manor". I think West are the team to beat. They are probably looking better than last year. Hayden Rigby is a huge bonus for them. Did you happen to see the local sports wrap on WIN News Monday night? Mark O'Donnell copped a gem from the pommie recruit that nearly took his head off. Not a bad effort for a flat Wenty track.
Hey does anyone know this Gascoyne bloke who plays at East? Ran into a few of the Workers Gol Gol and Settlers boys on New Years Eve and he's not the most favourite cricketer going around. He's apparently telling people they offered him cash to play with them this season. Who does this bloke think he is? Shane Warne!!!!!

He certainly is not shane warne because he bowls off spin for a start
His not a bad kid but it seems he has had some sort of falling out down at east n i would not be surprised if he lined up for irymple in 2008/09. On his day though he is up there with the best spinners in the sca but there is no spinners here that demand to be paid to played including fowle from west

It looks like you were a far way off the mark. Congratulations to Settlers on their first premiership in something like 20 years.

[already heard on the grapevine that workers have a couple of recruits in the pipeline, i have also heard West have lost a few which will hurt them badly.
Any news on who will be the team to beat in 2008/09? Any word of new recuits?
Apparently Workers have got an import coming from England not sure if he is batter or bowler but he played over there with one of their local boys. Apparently county standard. Setts have lost Maregwede for obvious reasons and Peter O'Donnell and Mark Kerr might slide into the lower grades. West have lost Skinner for university, Fowle probably not returning and Rayfield probably won't be back after a massive blue with president and i dunno if speedy is still goin. Thats all i know and Ben Walters might be heading over to Adelaide to try his luck at grade cricket. If West still have Williams and Sippel i believe they will still be the team to beat
Season should be alot more even this year l'd think with West losing Ty Rayfield, Chris Durbridge, Wilbur, one of the Skinner boys, Andrew Green, Michael Downes and the Pommy spinner is apparently not returning, but has apparently picked up Alistair from Setts. Merbein apparently haven't picked up much but has lost Jeremy Weinert to lrymple. Coomie has lost Ben Walters to Adelaide. East has picked up 2 imports and Jason Harris has returned.
