Introducing our ‘A’ Grade Captain for the 2016/17 Season;
Paul ‘Tommy’ Amato.
Congratulations to Tommy and all the best for the upcoming season. Let’s all get behind him and ensure we have a successful season in all 4 Grades.
A bit of background and a short message from Tommy; (more…)
At the Adelaide and Suburban Cricket Association Meeting on Tuesday Night a motion was passed for 7 + 7 programming in ALL GRADES.
There a still some details to be worked through but it will look something like this;
8 Teams per section which will increase the Total Number of Sections to 9.
7 x 2 Day Games
7 x 1 Day Games programmed mainly around the Christmas / New Year period.
Each Team will play every other team twice, 1 x 2 Day Game and 1 x One Dayer.
At this stage it looks as though we will have Teams in Sections 1, 3, 5 and 8.

D.Ewers’ 115 v Morphettville last year was the 89th Highest Score made for SRCC.
No New Entries in the Top 100 Bowling Performances last year. Likewise, no new Partnership records set last year. Delicious.
Roadies, the committee has decided that a return to Pasadena High School for our Tuesday training sessions will allow an opportunity for the whole club to train together more easily and these sessions will start in late September. More details will come out soon from our training coordinators on what you can expect.
I’m also delighted to announce that Paul Amato will be our next club captain and look after the A Grade for Season 2016/17. More details on his background soon – but many of you know him already and he is also a premiership player from Peto’s triumphant Section 2 team of 13/14.
For those keen on a hit – informal sessions will begin this Sunday from 10am in the Cage. By informal I mean that they are not sessions that Stef and Paul as our training coordinators will run – it will just be a casual hit up for anyone keen.
We will have special offers on Roadies clothing – we have some left over social shirts in particular – you will see information about this soon on the website and Facebook page.
Please also remember that there is a vacancy on committee – anyone who is keen on stealing a nip or two of Graham’s Scotch whilst we have our meetings should let me know…..
See you soon,

South Road IV Season Report 2015/16
This didn’t turn out to be the best of years for the South Road D Grade team. They had a lot of issues throughout the season such as selection dilemmas after Round 3 due to lack of numbers in the higher teams, which is no one’s fault but it left the D’s without their opening bowler and batsman for the rest of the year. Players were selected to play higher up as the year went on and things did not get any easier as the team was depleted with a lack of depth in both of the batting and bowling departments. This shows with the Premier Fast Bowling of Poul Petersen taking 7 wickets in the first three games and not returning for the rest of the year. No one was able to pass Peto to claim the D Grade Bowling Trophy. Congratulations, Peto! The closest competition Peto had for the Bowling Trophy was Aaron Schmidt, who was runner-up with 5 wickets. Third was shared between the two spinners, Robbie Kiss and myself, Mark Mitton taking 4 wickets each but to be fair Robbie missed the first 3 games and would have definitely taken a few more wickets in those games if he’d played. As for the batting, Dave Ewers was the top run getter with 247 runs beating our Captain, Roger Nunn on 205 runs. Dave scored a terrific ton in our game against Morphy Park at Seaview HS and has been our most consistent batsman all year. (more…)

Nunny sits at the footy while Dave Ewers saves the day with brilliant ton. Also, Nunny again to High Court over Umpiring Dispute
South Road IV Captain was to be seen the night before the game against Morphy Park, at Richmond Oval watching the warm up match between West Adelaide and Norwood. He was discussing tactics with his star spinner, Warney. One tactic was for the spinner to toss the coin. That, he did. He won that toss and had no hesitation in choosing to bat first. It was a hot day and Warney wasn’t going to allow his team to burn their necks fielding. (more…)
