There was not a jumper in sight as the Oxy Cup started with 4 preliminary matches in perfect conditions for cricket. 

After three years, ATSSC's stranglehold on the cup has finally been broken, losing to Chevron by 6 wickets at the Links. Ellon beat Inn at the Park in a close encounter at DP 3. In the 'Queens Cross' derby, Grammar 98 overcame Dutchmill at DP1, winning by 35 runs. The Rebels recorded a comfortable 50 run win over MCC at DP2.
