Creeks outplayed by Lobey and Nairne pure and simple.

The fact that the last 2 Minor Premiers have been eliminated in straight sets is simply a reflection of just how even the competition is in A&EHCA which is fantastic. The fact that teams of the quality of Woodside and Strath miss the finals is also a reflection of the relative strength of the comp.

If Strath had made 4 more runs in their last minor round game , they would have finished 2nd and Nairne wouldn't have made the finals . As it turns out Strath missed and Nairne are playing off for the Flag.

With talks of a Super League being formulated in the near future, i'm not real sure what the advantages are for Senior Cricket in A&EHCA unlike Junior Cricket which looks to have many positives.

Did creek have a permit for Adam Clements to play in the finals? He only played 4 minor round games.

Congrats to Lofty. Kind of stunned they pulled it off but well and truly deserved.

Gumeracha cruised to a 9 wicket win against a disappointing Palmer. The Bears could only manage 9/90 from 40 overs, which the hosts chased down soon after drinks.

As many expected Mt Torrens won the B Grade flag, knocking off Cambrai by 6 wickets.

It’s been 10 years since Lobey and Woodside moved comps, with Gum winning 4 flags, Palmer 3 and Paracombe 3.

Watched some of the AEHCA final. A good standard of cricket, especially bowling wise. Nairne looked headed for 120-130ish but cashed in during the final 10 overs with wickets in hand to reach 8/146. Lobey dismissed in the final over around 20 short of the target. Huge effort to win 3 finals on the road from 4th spot. Probably the biggest crowd I've seen attend a local cricket game.

5 years ago the Association made the decision to scrap 2 day cricket to go to entirely 1 day cricket with one of the main reasons to get more teams back into A Grade having had only 7 sides for a few years with no prospect of any coming up. If Maccy come up which they have indicated (Mind you they sent out the same signals last year before they reneged ) then it will become an ideal 10 team comp which allows 18 qualifying games with each playing each other home and away.
This will leave Echunga, Ashbourne and Finniss as the only clubs not to be fielding an A Grade although they will all field A2 teams as Echunga & Finniss have both indicated they will come up from B Grade and rightly so as well.

Unfortunately the ideal 10 team A Grade comp may not be with the rumor that Wistow are pulling the pin on their A Grade which is disappointing after doing the hard yards in recent years and appeared to be on the right track. A loss of key players for a variety of reasons is the reported reason

That would be a shame given their history in the top grade.

Very unfortunate for the club as they were building some momentum in the back half of the year. Remember they did roll eventual premier Nairne in one of the last few rounds of the season. Looks like Lobey will really benefit from it with the Elsworthy boys heading over there. Lachie especially adds another good young all rounder into a quality young side.

Might be a little early I know but how are team numbers looking this year?

Woodside looking pretty good this year 5 teams (2 in B grade).

Disappointing to hear Mt Barker have pulled the pin on A Grade this year and have dropped back to A2s on the back of Wistow doing the same.

Bit of an anomaly that the council have spent sqillions on a 1st class cricket facility at Mt Barker and the 2 clubs within a stones throw of it cant supply an A Grade team :shock:
Thats not a knock on the volunteers at those clubs that are doing their best, but it's just hard to understand that neither club can gather up 11 players willing to have a crack at A Grade considering the booming population of the area.

That's a shame. To be fair to wistow (and Im wistow person btw) they've been down the bottom for years and kept fronting up for A Grade so a little bit different to Mt Barker who have only just come back up not long ago.
From what I've heard the fees/rent for that new ground are huge. Would be a great place to place cricket though

Association has leased the facility for 6 months from the Council for a fee.
The Association has set a fee structure for usage of the venue by clubs which isn't limited to A&EHCA games based on recovering the lease fee.

For people that haven't been involved in the running of a club with turf cricket facilities the fees the Association have set may appear high but in fact they are very reasonable compared to what it costs other turf clubs within the Association for the upkeep and preparation of their turf pitches.

That's good to hear then. The stuff I heard was the councils going direct to the clubs rather than the association but good to hear its been sorted.
The more turf we have the better.

If I was a Maccy person id be a little bit peeved. They copped it for years when they didnt go up to A grade and the second they do 2 clubs come down instead of staying up. Hahndorf have lost a few from last season but wouldnt dream of going down now.

I see where you're coming from with Maccy being a bit peeved but at the end of the day they need to worry about themselves and not what others are doing. Surely the aim of every club is to have an A Grade and if Maccy wern't ready to come back in after finishing minor premiers 3 seasons in a row in A2s then when would they be?
Hard to be critical of Wistow coming down to A2s as they've finished bottom 3 for the last 8 seasons in A Grade with 4 wooden spoons and have now lost the nucleus of their A Grade
Mt Barker in their 3 years back in A Grade have finished bottom, 2nd bottom and bottom and for whatever reason havent been able to develop or attract players of the standard to be more competitive.
As much as i dont want to see clubs dropping teams down grades , there are simply situations that not all are aware of that dictate they need to drop down a grade.
I believe 3 of the bottom 4 teams from A2 Grade last season are dropping down to B Grade including Hahndorf and Lobethal that finished 5th and 6th in the 8 team comp. :?

Do you reckon there is a chance the HCA and AEHCA merge at some point JJ? The HCA has now lost flagstaff and also only has 7 teams currently wanting to play A grade. I get there are difficulties to the merger but would make a ripper comp if it merged.
