So says Norths' No 1 batsman Brendan Rixon.
After suffering a 78-run loss to City United in the one-day final at the same ground on Friday night, Norths made 250 after being 4-203 at one stage.
"We probably left a few [runs[ out there, if we're honest with ourselves," said Redback No 4 Rixon, who top-scored with 83.
"We were doing really well at about tea time ... and we could have finished off a bit stronger than what we did and got up closer to 300."
