Way to go in stuffing up the A2 draw and loading a lower grade team with fringe A grade players. Surprising the AEH Association allowed this given Hahndorf competed in the B Grade Grand Final last year after sitting top for most of the season. Relegation must be the price paid for a GF loss.

For example the club that nominated 3 teams, forfeited their lowest team on Saturday, struggled to fill their 2nd team (with juniors and blokes playing their 1st ever game) so what happens now..... do they go back to the association and say sorry guys we don't have the players for a 3rd team, so we go through another competition re-draw. Clearly they should have "sured" up their playing stocks (last season) and not assumed they would be returning. Incompetence, arrogance and mis-management!!

Nairne 177 Vs Strath 0/20 - My pick of Nairne looking a little shakey perhaps? Runs can be hard to make on the Strath turf, so 177 may be a better score than it looks.
Creeks 8/323 - Vs Ashbourne - My pick was Ashbourne - ooops think I went the wrong way on that - Johnson a big hundred for the Creek. Clemnets back for the Creek helps their bowling as well. Game over!
Woodside 185 Vs Wistow 0/7 - My pick was Woodside, game in the balance. Wistow with their noses in front at this point!
Hahndorf 227 Vs Lobethal 0/6 - My pick was Lobethal - 227 is a good score, will fall to Col Hackett & Jake Sziller to get Lobethal home you would think. In the balance. Can't pick the winner.
Also noticed that Hahndorf, having pulled their team out of A2's in favour of C Grade - forfeited again in the C's. It looks like there was alsoanother forfeit in the C's this weekend (Ashbourne Vs Strath), meaning just 1 match took place in this Grade of A&EH - disturbing!

You are definately right in regards to the c grade comp. strath c grade havent even played a game yet with 1 forfeit for and 2 against them.There has been at least two forfeits per week in this grade. Obviously it is getting harder to get kids out to play and even harder when they committ and then find out a forfeit has occurred. Is it too late for the c and d grade to join and make one grade?
It seems that some clubs that you would expect to have heaps of teams and numbers don't eg mt barker who are an embarrassment. There number one side fielded in the a2s have 5senior players and the rest are under 20. Is this because they are poorly run or cos they have a few weird players playing for them?

aldgate have lost a few from last yr and with both bat and ball struggle after there top few in each category. depth will be a bit of a problem.
uraidla as well have lost 4 or 5 from last yr, mainly all there experience (finch, duncan, geppy, dill, carter etc.). they are a very young team now and unless hunsie can save em with the bat, and himself and spuddy farrin with the ball; they will rely heavily on the depth of there youngster that will decide there performance.
mt lofty have been bolstered with a few pickups and return this yr. bowling wise they should hold up ok espesh if madsen and furber can play some more cricket, but the runs will be the biggest concern. time for the top order to produce some bigger scores.
scibs have been strengthened by the return of tarque and the development of there juniors. will be improvers on last year.
onkas still have a lot of regular names and include duncan from uraidla, however hes bowling off a shorter run due to ankle injury. a shadow of the team they were with the likes of kemp, galvin etc but still some solid names in the line up.
with only six team it will be interesting to see who will make it thru in the top 4, and if anyone can take it up to meadows!!

Uraidla, well they are always around the mark. Brown will stay and play a massive roll for them with Bat & Ball, Carter may play B for a while but come the business time of the season that could change. The lads that played D grade last year were they really D Graders, or just blokes that wanted a casual game of cricket and have step up this year, good on them if they have.
