After a four week hiatus, the Hills Cricket Association (HCA) season will resume on Saturday following the Christmas/New Year break with four season-shaping games to be played in round 10. The match of the round sees reigning premier Meadows host second-placed Flagstaff Hill while Kangarilla will look to consolidate their top-four position when they take on Stirling. Mount Lofty sit just outside the top-four on run rate and they will welcome first placed Aldgate to Heathfield Oval in what is always a hard fought affair. Scott Creek Ironbank will travel to Uraidla in search of their first win of 2020/21 while the Demons will need to win to keep their finals hopes alive.
