A few interesting results across all the grades. At this early stage and i know there is along way to go but maybe the exec got most things pretty spot on with grading.
Kapunda despite supposedly the world caving in around their A1 team in the off season had a win over a footy trip effected Gilbert Valley.
A replay of last years Semi between Sandy Creek and Ango saw the debut of Chris McLean for the Cocks. Vivian got the panthers off to a flyer being dismissed for 55 with the total at 67. Apparently he and Kingy have had the same lengthy pre-seasons and have come out firing. Ango posted 195. Chris mcLean nearly eclipsed close mate Andrew Frackowskis debut season in the B&L in one hit making 76, The cocks were coasting to victory, enter BS Burgess, in spikes for the 1st time to clean up the tail, a job normally left to the astute Captain, brother Brett and the cocks were dismissed 12 runs short
South Gawler celebrated their return to A1 maybe a little premarurely after posting 0/244 off their 40, Riley Barker with a ton and Hogan inexplicably not having enough time to get there with 95*. Im sure the Barker boys would have been up and about early in Centrals innings but things would have gone quite very quickly. Centrals coasted to victory led by Frackowskis 80 and a 51 ball 93 from Kingy in his 1st wield of the willow since last years Semi. May be a long year for South with the ball.
In the other game Read Hannun picked up where he left last year smashing 143 out of 250 to get the reigning premiers off to winning start against Light Pass.
The mis match of the century between Nuri A1ressies and the bottom team from last years A2s, Tanunda, didnt live up to the hype with Taunda having Nuri on the ropes at 5/80 chasing 120 before a patient captains knock from Lydeamore saw Nuri grab the points. No injuries to report.
Last years wooden spooners in the ressies Tanunda, welcomed back Mitch Boschen from the Jets with Mitch taking 7/7 to roll last years runners up Lyndoch for 38,
Eudunda also started the season with a win despite only taking 2 wickets. It was the return of Dean Vickery with 89 not out that got them home and if he plays a majority of the games Eudunda may push for a spot in the 4 for the 1st time since the A1 ressies comp started.
In the 2s newly promoted Freeling didnt have much trouble with traditional powerhouse of this gradei in Nuri.
Lucky for Gawler Central they were not promoted to A1 ressies as they were embarrased by the 2nd bottom team from last year in Ango being dismissed for 33,
Hot favourite for the 2s this year, Sandy Creek were unexpectedly beaten by South Gawler in a close encounter.
In the 3s recently demoted Kapunda had a close win over Lyndoch to show they will be around the mark in this comp. Greenock after a couple of lean years also got off to a good start with a tight one over Gawler Central. Light Pass also had a win
