Not specifically but got the feeling they only had about half a team that was fully committed to give A Grade a go. I guess they had good intentions to signal their intent on having an A Grade but when it came to the crunch they didnt have the numbers.
Well at least Hahndorf are back having a crack and hopefully Mt Barker next year along with another would be great to get it back up to 10 teams

I tipped a TIE but just the wrong game.
Hahndorf in racking up 234 against Ashbourne would have been confident of a 1st up win back in A Grade after a 3 year absence. Ashbourne had other ideas tho as new English recruit Scott Kellow had instant success in hitting up 116 to put the Bulls on the path to victory. Need 2 runs off the last ball Roocke could only manage 1 run to TIE the game, getting Run Out going for the 2nd.
Meanwhile the exact same scenario was being played out on the Hill with Wistow also needing 2 runs off the last ball of the match against Lobethal. Seems the striker played and missed but they attempted to run a BYE as the keeper attempted the Run Out to win the match but missed and incredibly gave the opportunity for an overthrow which Wistow achieved to score the win after being winless last season.
Whilst Wistow arnt expected to be a player in the Finals race, Lobethal certainly are and will be interesting to see how costly this loss is come Seasons end.
Strath set Nairne a very competitive 4/200 to chase but as they often do, Nairne comfortably chased it down with the loss of 4 wickets with a bit over 2 overs to spare in their slightly rain reduced match of 41 overs each. New recruit Samuel Rowe top scoring with a steady 69* n.o. opening the batting.
Creeks extended their opening round loss record to 14 years straight when they fielded a very depleted side against Woodside. Creek only having 4 players from their narrow Prelim Final loss to the Indians only 7 months ago.
Creeks batting 1st did manage a creditable 9/162 off their 45 overs after some tight bowling.
In Reply , Woodside raced to their target in only 27 overs, scoring 3/165
Wescombe despite being hit in the head by a McLeod bouncer 1st ball of the innings, then went on to smash the wayward Creek attack to finish on 100* n.o. after being given several reprieves with a few dropped chances.

Handy batsman
Saw him make 178 n.o. against the Creeks 2 years ago and amazingly it still wasn't enough to get them over the line on that occasion
