country clubs

Oracle,

I believe country kids remain country as long as their residential address is still in the country. Since many parents of boarders may still live country, they are country as they have not moved to metro. (I may be wrong, but believe this is the case).

oracle,

im head coach for whyalla and i think you obviously have a fair idea on the topic, as i agree with most of what you have posted. We entered our under 14 girls into state champs and got a touch up by city teams. we have a very talented group in that age group but were probably a bit naive to think we would do rally well. The main reason for this is that the country teams do not play together week in week out and do not get the exposure to playing high intensity, highly skilled gamed week in week out. But you just need to look at the starting line ups and star players in 14s, 16s and 18s in the district sides (girls anyway, im not up with the boys comp) and most of them come from the country. Besides the fact that the 16s and 18s (girls) country sides are probably better than metro and IMO if there was a !$s side they would be too. There is some good work being done in all associations in the country and producing quality players. By the way good luck to ALL SA teams in ballarat and adelaide this year. Go SA Country 18 girls!!!
