I could be wrong actually, had some recollection but cannot see any evidence.

Separate comps I reckon, the other comp had zero idea.

They had as a final 16:
Pertaringa
Largs North
Uni
Walkerville
Daly
Port Noarlunga
Yankalilla
Hahndorf
Richardson Park
Penneshaw
PHOS Camden
Payneham
Reynella
Goodwood
Glandore
Mitchell Park

That was statewide.
Port Noarlunga was up against Penneshaw in the GF.

Arkaba Stadium (Mt Lofty) was knocked out, as was Greenacres and Angle Vale (This was started before Greenacres womens and Portland pulled out)

Blackwood do not have a Women's side in Adelaide Footy League this season.

I know, I felt obliged to say to them that they mustn't get out much.

Whenever I go to a rural town for the first time I always have to do a drive by of the local footy ground...............yeah, I'm a bit warped.

You’re not the only one LM. There are a couple posters on here that get photos from me of grounds when I regularly go rural in SA and Vic (the latter not in the last 5 months). I need a life but it’s a good way to get out the car for 5 mins when driving long distances and I’m also genuinely interested. Been very impressed with some of the set ups on the Eyre Peninsula in recent times.

Same mate, I was over on KI last week and made sure I stopped at all five, even went for kick on that foggy morning at Wisanger Oval.

If my missus and I ever get divorced, it will be because I've stopped to look at one too many country footy ovals.

Been over on the Eyre as I said. Thoroughly impressed with the new set up at Cleve - There wouldn’t be many if any bigger clubrooms in SA. Streaky Bay (West Coast) Hawks City Oval in an absolute belter!

Long Plains has a fantastic surface. The best country set ups are Memorial Pt Pirie, Central Pt Augusta (Since resurfacing it rivals Karen Rolton as the best set up in SA), Berri, Centenary Port Lincoln.

There is a political reason for that. They just had to be bigger than the new complex at neighbouring Kimba!

They might regret it in a few years...Kimba are now admitting it's too big.

Every time I go through Kimba I’m behind schedule so haven’t dropped in there yet. Cleve’s set up whilst single story is simply enormous. Our new clubrooms set up at Kenilworth is impressive and I’d comfortably back in that the one in Cleve it’s at least double the size.

Was impressed with Loxton's set up last week.
