Glenelg Oval / Cricket

Interesting shot of Glenelg Oval with the Cricket Nets being over the Oval surface on the corner, do they do that each year over the Summer at the Bay? When do Glenelg get to be able to train on the oval again?

We're allowed to train on the oval when cricket finals committments allow.

Usually during the week before the first match. One year when I was still involved with Juniors, we trained there for the first time on the Thursday before our Round 1 match on the Saturday.

Both Seniors & Juniors train mostly at Westminster College (and bring our own small goal posts) but it was addressed at the start of last season this allows limited goal kicking practice, so Senior squad now trains on Max Basheer most Friday nights to allow more professional focus on this skill.

Couldn't share with your breeding ground at Sacred Heart College, could you? Aren't they Glenelg in disguise, or is it the other way round?

No to all questions

Shouldn't the original question also be addressed to woodville, prospect and unley ovals

You could but I would think it would be the same answer, cricket takes precedence during cricket season.
All 3 ovals, Glenelg, Woodville and Prospect all have district cricket clubs who are based at these ovals.
Not sure about Unley, is cricket played there as well ?

C and d grade district cricket is played at unley

I attended a grade at Prospect Oval yesterday and was interested to see they still had the goal posts in, and the Robran & Farmer End signs were still up. I always thought the football stuff had to come down during the cricket season. Just a minor point, but it did take my interest.

So is C and D Grade football, mainly by my mob.

That's not confined to unley oval though f9

Perhaps not, but we have rarely played well there.

The Eagles train at Thebby Oval during the summer months (both Seniors and Juniors).
