This pair put on an important 67 runs for the sixth wicket to lift their side to 5/132 and the Echidnas were now favourites. Unfortunately, the run out of Burgess for 32 (47) precipitated a collapse of 5/11 to see Wistow bowled out for 143 in the 39th over. Langhorne Creek opening bowler Troy Blackwell finished with the excellent figures of 4/19 (8), while Kropp (2/19) and Dan Cleggett (2/22) chipped in with a couple of wickets each.Woodside moved up to fifth spot on the ladder after a comfortable seven-wicket victory against Bremer Callington at Woodside.

Left-armers George Beard (3/23) and Chris Beaty (3/23) did the damage for the Crushers, while teenager Kian Labuschagne took 2/19 (8). McLaren Districts were in trouble early on in the run chase at 2/11 before Beaty (38), Justin Twartz (31) and Caleb Mitchell (23) steadied the ship to see the Crushers over the line with seven balls to spare. Chris Clark (2/18) was the leading wicket taker for the Tigers and he was well supported by Doug Jones who took 1/13 from a miserly eight-over spell. Mt Compass consolidated their spot in the top-six with a low-scoring 28-run win at Willunga. Mt Compass batted first and struggled their way to a total of 113 before being bowled out in the 30th over. Riley Tonkin was the only batsman to pass 15 runs as he top scored with 32 (30 balls).

Mt Lofty were saved by an excellent partnership between Connor Milde (24 not out) and Anthony Jennings (34 not out) worth 67 runs to see the home side home in the 36th over. Mt Lofty’s cause was aided by Uraidla conceding a whopping 36 extras. Kangarilla had a very important five-wicket win over Meadows to move within half a game of the top-four.

Shannon Jones top scored for the Bulls with 53 from 65 balls (3 x 4’s, 2 x 6’s), while James Colley (31) and Ethan Anderson (26) made handy contributions towards their score of 7/166 from 40 overs. Yankalilla captain Aaron Smith took 2/21 from seven overs. Yankalilla’s run chase never got going as they slumped to 8/60 with Bailey Baldock (3/34), Adam Blakely (2/0), Riley Tonkin (2/13) and Aaron Dalitz (2/43) wreaking havoc. Trent Starke (39) and Ashley Madden (23 not out) put a bit of respect on the scoreboard as they helped lift their side to a final total of 135. Port Elliot remained top of the ladder after a comfortable 83-run win over McLaren Districts at McLaren Vale. The Bloods batted first and posted a very competitive total of 6/231 from their 40 overs. The star of the innings was all-rounder Ben Griffiths who top scored with 82 not out from 89 balls (7 x 4’s, 2 x 6’s), and he was well supported by Joel Harris (44) with this pair putting on 81 runs for the fourth wicket. Evan Clark (2/34) and Kevin Grant (2/39) were the multiple wicket takers for the Crushers. Grant (33), Matthew Aston (27) and Zac Hodges (25) all made handy contributions, but no batsman went on to make a big score as McLaren Districts were bowled out for 148. Six Port Elliot bowlers took wickets with Levi Stringer (3/31), Griffiths (2/24) and Darcy Paech (2/36) the leading wicket takers.Noarlunga won their third game in a row after defeating Victor Harbor by 117 runs. The Shoes batted first with Matthew Spaan (22) adding 65 for the second wicket with skipper Michael Ledgard, before Jamie Diener joined Ledgard in the middle. This pair added 112 for the third wicket before Ledgard was cruelly run-out at the non-strikers end for 94 from 95 balls (10 x 4’s, 3 x 6’s). Diener continued on to top score with 110 from just 62 balls (4 x 4’s, 9 x 6’s) as Noarlunga posted 6/250.

Teenage spinner Leo McKenna took 3/27 (7) for the Shoes, while Ben Stewart-Tonkin (2/21) was the other multiple wicket taker.  Encounter Bay won their fourth game on the trot after a convincing 133-run victory against Willunga. The Bays batted first at home with English recruit Matt Smalley-Harris top scoring with 78 (12 x 4’s), while Lachie Barrett (38 not out) and Cam Lintern (37) chimed in to lift the home side to 6/244 from their 40 overs. Ramesh Antony (2/38) was the leading wicket taker for the Demons.

Hahndorf moved back inside the top-four on the Alexandra & Eastern Hills Cricket Association (AEHCA) ladder after a comfortable 71-run win against Woodside at Hahndorf on Saturday. The home side batted first with Sam Williams (46), Ty Watson (44) and Dan Jenner (37) the leading scorers as Hahndorf compiled 9/208 from their 45 overs. Nick Johns (2/19), Shane Druwitt (2/32), Luke Langmead (2/33) and Chris Baschiera (2/36) were the leading wicket takers for Woodside. The Warriors got themselves into a good position at 3/104 through Langmead (52), Noah Bell (26) and Brad Collins (17), before the Magpies took the last 7/33 to bowl the Warriors out for 137. Hahndorf skipper Ryan Trafford-Walker (4/32) was the leading wicket taker for his side, while Watson (3/15) and Paul Allegretto (2/30) were the other multiple wicket takers. Lobethal remained two games clear on top of the ladder after a comprehensive 122-run victory over Bremer Callington at Callington. Lobethal batted first and they were in a bit of trouble at 5/84 with Mitch Weeks (40) the only top-five batsman to make an impact. Displaying their great depth, the Tigers got middle/lower order contributions from Sam Graeber (39), Steve Huxter (35) and Matt Martin (33) to lift their side to a total of 194. Nathan Fitzgerald took 3/31 (8.3) for the Cobras and he was well supported by Graydon Brand (2/38) and Alex Durbidge (2/50). Bremer Callington started well with Jai McMurtrie (31) adding 41 runs for the first wicket with Michael Kudra. Once McMurtrie was dismissed however, Lobethal ran through the Cobras to take 10/31 as the home side were bowled out for just 72. Weeks completed an excellent all-round game with the fine figures of 4/9 from his nine overs, while Dave Huxter (3/18) and Josh Martin (2/1) were the other main wicket takers. Langhorne Creek moved a game clear in second spot after a tight 21-run win at home over Nairne. The Creeks batted first and compiled a competitive 9/199 from their 45 overs. The total was set up by good knocks from Dan Kropp (53), Adam Clements (48) and Cullen Bailey (36). Tigers club legend Ben Warren, playing in his 400th senior game, had to retire hurt unfortunately. Jack May (2/31), Ryan Williams (2/34) and Chad Harrop (2/39) were the multiple wicket takers for the Razorbacks. Nairne battled hard in the run chase and when they reached 4/106, the game was evenly poised. Nick Melvin made 30 (35 balls) for Nairne, while the mainstay of the innings was skipper Zac Llewellyn who top scored with 65 (74). Ultimately, the visitors came up short as they were bowled out in the 40th over for 178. Adam Clements completed a fine all-round double with 4/43 (9) and he was well supported by Kropp who snared 3/22 (7.5). Strathalbyn kept their finals hopes alive with an important 176-run win at Wistow. Sam Teakle (48) and Luke Cousins (45) got the Stallions off to a great start with a 105-run opening stand, before skipper Matt Harris hit a quickfire 78 not out from 58 balls (7 x 4’s, 3 x 6’s) to lift ‘Strath’ to 6/240. Josh Fidler was the absolute standout bowler for the Echidnas with 4/17 from his nine-over spell. Fidler (28) was the only Wistow batsman to reach double figures as they were rolled for just 64 in the 22nd over. All four Stallions bowlers used took wickets with Nick Evenden (4/6) leading the way, while Brayden Gaiter (3/19), Lachlan Cutting (2/26) and Nick Williams (1/13) were the other wicket takers. Ladder (after round 13)Lobethal 44, Langhorne Creek 36, Nairne 32, Hahndorf 24, Wistow 22, Strathalbyn 20, Bremer Callington 16, Woodside 14.Round 14 (7/2/26 - home team named first)Lobethal v Langhorne Creek Nairne v Hahndorf Strathalbyn v Bremer CallingtonWistow v Woodside
