It was an overcast day on Day 2 at Brighton High. A good omen for South Road, who were bowling and defending 133 to win.
Opening the bowling from the Southern End was the star with the ball from the first two games, Poul Petersen. He bowled a vicious spell to begin with and was unlucky not to strike early on. (more…)

South Road travelled to Brighton High to face Warradale in an eagerly anticipated match. The conditions were bright and sunny with a nice sea breeze. Warradale won the toss and their skipper uttered the exact words: ” We’ll-have-a-trundle!” It was a surprise to the Roads, who would have batted first anyway. The wisdom behind the decision being that Warradale would try and knock South Road over quickly and have a bash, then get the Roads back in before stumps on Day 1.
On Saturday 7th November 2015 Darren ‘Barney’ Williams took his 2nd successfive A Grade 5 for and in the process became only the 2nd South Road Cricketer to capture 500 Scalps.
Barney played his 1st Game for South Road Cricket Club back in Season 1987/1988 and the Majority of his 500 Wickets are ‘A’ Grade Wickets.
Congratulations Barney. A True legend of the South Road Cricket Club

It loomed to be an important day for South Road as they continued their Round 2 match against Coromandel Ramblers at Weymouth Oval. Having set a good total of 212 on the board on Day 1, it was always going to be difficult to chase for the Ramblers. Under nothing but blue skies, South Road began with the same intensity as they did against Port Noarlunga, with positive talk amongst the fielders as they looked to get their first win on the board. The openers, Edmiston and Muir could not lay a bat on either Bocock or Petersen early on and they were setting themselves up for diaster. It was inevitable when Bocock trapped Edmiston lbw for 1 with not many runs on the board for the Ramblers.
