The next match will be the Metropolitan T20 Semi-Final on Sunday 28 November 2010. We will play the winner of the Adelaide Suburban competition, which will either be Keswick Cricket Club or Sheidow Park Cricket Club. The venue will be known this week.

If we win the Semi-Final, we will play the Final on Adelaide Oval in February against the winner of the other Metropolitan Semi-Final between representative clubs from the Churches & Community and Para Districts competition. The winner of this competition will play the winner of the Country T20 competition on Adelaide Oval later that day, with the winner to be crowned the best community T20 club in South Australia.
