Sunday +35s 2012

[Ernie Cooksey]

Has anybody got any info on fixtures, if there has been any released or when they will be?

[Scholes]

That side you put out yesterday would romp it in any "c" league, Benedict Arnold.

[sirstevieg]

Any fixtures out yet for the 35's???

[sirstevieg]

Any 35's team looking for a game this Sunday morning being the 1st of April please pm me say 11am kickoff?

[Playthewhistle]

The fixtures look to be up on the SAASL website, but they merged over 35s with some other club C teams? to make up Div 9?

[Jay Walking]

Nah, they are all 35 teams. They haven't put the 35 name part in where the club doesn't have a C Team is all.

[sirstevieg]

Yeah cheers Jay i wondered what the reson was for that also....that explains it

[Farpost]

What is the kick-off time for the O/35s?

[OldRedback]

What is the kick-off time for the O/35s?

It can vary - mostly it is normally 11.30am, Downs home games at 12pm and Modbury OBs home games at 1.30pm.

[sirstevieg]

Yeah our first game is a 11:30am kickoff at home (Inter) against the Downs before the B's game but i have heard the time can vary from week to week.

Ive also heard some teams are trying to get games on a Friday night which would be good i reckon but can't see it happening.

I'm sorry to say but inter having a 35s team & no C team is somewhat disrespectful to all the other Premier League clubs by creating a bye. Fair enough not to have a C team if you only can field 2 teams but to shun entering a C team IMO is wrong surely it has nothing to do with ko times but perhaps its just old blokes saying I dont wanna play against young fellas if so poor decision.

That's no disrespect to Inter but considering there history in SAASL div1 I'm surprised by this maybe they prefer to win a div 9 league than div 6 perhaps sirstevieg can enlighten us.

Lefty talking bollocks.

[Gunner4eva]

Div 1 - 18 Rounds
O/35's - 22 Rounds are we getting fitter with age

Div 1 - 18 Rounds

is there still an o/35's cup on top of this?

[sirstevieg]

Lefty its not as simple as you have made it sound.

When i came back to the Club this year they had all intentions for a C Team but myself & a group of lads that have all played at Inter before wanted to get a 35's team going where we did pick up a few C teamers anyway as we are all around 40 years of age. I didn't come back to play in the C team mate as no disrespect meant but we can all play & ive seen the standard in C Team Division....why would we want to chase 21 year olds around???

Salisbury Inter have 3 womens teams a well so the pitch allocations could be a problem as we have to play some games on Florinas pitch when there is a conflict where they have helped us out.

Div.9 is a dedicated O35 League so don't compare that to winning Div.6 instead.

Anyway why doesn't your club have a 35's team then, different ways of looking at this???

[Dickie Bird]

the amateur league needs clubs that can guarantee fielding a team each week.
If Inter Didnt have enough to field a C team for the full 18 rounds, they did the responsible thing by not nominating a team.
no one wants forfeits half way thru a season.
Why Didnt the amateur league put in a 10th team from another club to avoid a bye?

[htfac]

The +35s league has a bye each week as does Div 6. Why dont the clubs tee up a game between to two teams having a bye from the respective leagues?

Most clubs like to have their players all at one ground for the day. Bringing in another team from Div 2 would have messed up the Div 2 C team comp more.

Its disappointing Inter don't have a C Team but there are more important things to worry about.

Why is there a bye in the old boys league? I thought there was 10.
If they put in a c team it would be disrespectful to the over 35's by creating a bye.
Is it really that big a deal that c teams in div1 have 2 Sunday mornings off through the whole season? Ask your c team players first before complaining, I bet there's a few glad of it.

[sirstevieg]

Like you have said i don't think most team mind a bye especially in the 35's where guys can get a weeks rest with there ageing bodies

There are 11 team in the O35 League.
Elizabeth Downs
Vale
Grove
Athelstone
Ingle Farm
Para Hills East
West
Modbury Jets
Old Boys
Tea Tree Gully
Salisbury Inter

[Ernie Cooksey]

Looking forward to this season, I like the close proximity of all the clubs, still a bit of travel involved for me, but at least I'm not playing half my season on primary pitches, struggling to get a sausage and a coldie afterwards, not to mention a hot shower, and travelling the length and breadth of Adelaide every 2nd weekend, like I would be having to in sat. Div 2. Get more games too!!

I've had complaints about it already.

[Stand Strong]

Hi there can anyone let me know if any clubs in Over 35 are still looking for players, I have been working away so was unable to do a pre season but am in Adelaide now and I am willing to train to earn a spot in a team, not expecting to walk in and start without doing some hard yards first.

Para Hills East are still looking for players, contact Graham on 0418 856 113.

Hard yards are generally put in on a Friday night for about 30 minutes. Then its a good 2 hour team discussion often involving beers and pizza in the clubrooms afterwards

The amount of complaining that goes on about some things is funny. Regardless of ability or age, some people still take their game very seriously.
