Noarlunga won their fourth Great Southern Cricket Association (GSCA) ‘A’ grade premiership after defeating Port Elliot by five wickets at Victor Harbor on Sunday. Noarlunga skipper Cam Bullard won the toss and sent Port Elliot in, with the move paying early dividends as dangerous opener Tyson Levy (4) was dismissed with the score at 1/5. Jaspa Tonkin (26) and Ethan Spriggs (24) steadied the innings with a 47-run second wicket partnership, before the Shoes came roaring back into the contest, claiming 9/35 to bowl Port Elliot out in the 48th over for just 87. Jett Holberton continued his excellent finals series with figures of 4/13 (11.5 overs) and he was well supported by opening bowlers Sean Williams (4/32) and Jamie Diener (2/26). Noarlunga were left with 22 overs to bat before stumps and they reached the end of day one at 4/64. It took just 10.1 overs on day two for Noarlunga to get past their victory target. The game continued for another hour before stumps were called with the Shoes on 8/121. Jason Scarff (31) and Williams (27) were the leading run scorers for Noarlunga, while Liam Harris (4/29) and Simon Donaldson (3/40) were the multiple wicket takers for Port Elliot.

In the other senior grades, Noarlunga won the ‘B’ grade title with an 85-run victory over Rapid Bay, Yankalilla took out the C1 flag after a tight 12-run win against Myponga-Sellicks, while Noarlunga made it three senior premierships for the season after a tense one-wicket victory over Mount Compass in the C2 decider. In the junior competitions, Noarlunga went back-to-back in the Senior Colts after defeating McLaren Districts by 19 runs, while Mount Compass made it three Junior Colts flags on the trot with a six-wicket win against Willunga.
