The Alexandra & Eastern Hills Cricket Association (AEHCA) season recommences on Saturday (11/1/25) after the Christmas/New Year break. With eight rounds to go the top-four looks set, unless Nairne or Strathalbyn can get on a roll through the last two months of the campaign. Lobethal, looking for a fourth consecutive premiership, are the team to beat, while perennial finalists Langhorne Creek are snapping at their heels. Woodside and Hanhdorf, who only won 11 games between them last season, have been the surprise packets of 2024/25 and they clash on Saturday in the match-of-the-round at Woodside. 

The top-five run scorers in the competition after 10 rounds are Paul Allegretto (Hahndorf - 459 runs), Adam Clements (Langhorne Creek - 357), Daniel Jenner (Hahndorf - 344), Tommy Baldock (Woodside - 339) and Luke Timmins (Nairne - 315). 

Best with the ball have been Matt Martin (Lobethal - 23 wickets), Nathan Fitzgerald (Bremer Callington - 20 wickets), Troy Blackwell (Langhorne Creek - 19 wickets), Dave Huxter (Lobethal - 18 wickets) and Johnny Fitzgerald (Bremer Callington - 17 wickets).
