Aldgate moved up to third spot on the ladder after defeating Scott Creek Ironbank (SCIB) by three wickets during round 14 action in the Hills Cricket Association (HCA) at Aldgate on Saturday. SCIB batted first and were in early trouble at 2/24, before Stuart Norton (24) combined with James Wissell to add 41 runs for the third wicket. Wissell went on to make 47 (75 balls), while Darcy Campbell (49 off 48) and Andy Adams (31 off 39) helped lift their side to a total of 205. Connor Payne (4/39) was the leading wicket taker for the Gaters, while Luke Smet (2/30) and Max Bilsborow (2/42) were the other multiple wicket takers. Aldgate were in all sorts of strife as they slipped to 6/102 with Will Quigley-Smith (33) the only top-six batsman to pass 20. Ollie Clements joined Smet at the crease and this pair set off on a rescue mission for the Gaters as they added 86 runs for the seventh wicket. Clements hit a quickfire 60 from 45 balls (2 x 4’s, 6 x 6’s), while Smet finished with 54 not out (68) as the winning runs came up in the 43rd over.

That was as good as it got for Uraidla as they lost 8/55 to be bowled out for 144 in the 34th over. Josh Healey (3/16), Max Hawke (3/21), Adam Carthew (2/20) and Anthony Jennings (2/39) were the wicket takers for the Redcaps. Mt Lofty were in all sorts of trouble in the run chase as they slumped to 6/78 with Uraidla opening bowler Simon Parker doing the damage with 3/22 (9). 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. Meadows batted first with Rohan Reid (62 off 85) and Luke Tonkin (29 off 62) the best of the Bulldogs batsmen as they posted 7/157 from their 45 overs. Troy Martinsen (2/17) and Ben Evans (2/30) were the leading wicket takers for Kangarilla.

Evan Clark (2/34) and Kevin Grant (2/39) were the multiple wicket takers for the Crushers.

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.

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.

Kangarilla started the run chase in fine fashion as Jono Makai (34 off 33) put on 54 runs with opening partner Che Martinsen.

Hoffmann went on to top score with a hard-hitting 98 from 74 balls (10 x 4’s, 4 x 6’s) as the Bays put up 7/222 from their 40 overs. Aaron Dalitz (3/17), Bailey Baldock (2/39) and Riley Tonkin (2/45) were the multiple wicket takers for Mt Compass. The Bulls were never in the run chase as they slumped to 9/46 with James Colley (33) the standout batsman. Number 11 Bailey Baldock joined Aaron Dalitz (8 not out) at the crease with the last pair adding an unbeaten partnership worth 60 runs to see Mt Compass finish on 9/106. Baldock top scored with 40 not out (57 balls). Chris Butler was the standout Encounter Bay bowler with the fine figures of 6/22 from his eight-over spell and he was well supported by Sunny Osmont with 2/9 (6). Noarlunga won their fifth game of the season after defeating Yankalilla by 85 runs at Yankalilla. The Shoes batted first with Travis Bronstein (36) and Jamie Diener (27) adding 61 for the second wicket, before three quick wickets fell to see Noarlunga at 4/92. Sean Williams joined former premiership skipper Jason Scarff at the crease and this pair put on 97 before Williams departed for 54 (47). Scarff went on to top score with 69 not out from 78 balls (7 x 4’s) as Noarlunga finished with 6/215. Ash Madden (2/30) and Doug Jones (2/44) were the leading wicket takers for Yankalilla. Williams (4/16) started off well with the ball for the Shoes as he took two wickets in the first over to leave the Tigers reeling at 2/0. Wickets fell steadily throughout the run chase with Yankalilla skipper Aaron Smith providing strong resistance as he scored 76 from 97 balls (10 x 4’s, 1 x 6), but ultimately Yankalilla finished on 9/130 from their 40 overs. Scarff was the other multiple wicket taker for Noarlunga with 2/21 (7). Port Elliot remained top of the ladder after a comfortable nine-wicket victory at Willunga on Saturday. Willunga batted first with Dan Hockham (12 not out) and Sammy George (11) the only batsman to reach double figures as they were bowled out for just 67. Seven Port Elliot bowlers took wickets with Levi Stringer (2/12) and Scott Hannam (2/17) leading the way. The Bloods wasted no time in the run chase as they knocked off the target in the 12th over without loss. Ethan Spriggs made 20 not out (29 balls), while Tyson Levy teed-off with 44 not out from 38 balls (2 x 4’s, 5 x 6’s). Goolwa won their fifth game on the trot after defeating Victor Harbor by 100 runs at 'Victor' on Saturday.

Josh Jones (24) and Sam Cuconits (20) made handy contributions as Goolwa posted 7/193 from their 40 overs. Kenny Sumner (2/29) and Sean Medlen (2/48) were the multiple wicket takers for Victor Harbor. The Vipers struggled in the run chase with Harry Steele (35) the only batsman to pass 20 as they were bowled out in the 39th over for 93. Jones continued his stellar season with 4/25 from his eight overs(25 wickets for the season), while Sean McIvor bowled a miserly spell to finish with 2/4 (8).McLaren Districts had the bye.Ladder (after round 8)Port Elliot 37, Goolwa 36, Encounter Bay 34, Noarlunga 33, Yankalilla 25, Mt Compass 21, McLaren Districts 12, Willunga 6, Victor Harbor 0.Round 9 (31/1/26 - 1 day games)Encounter Bay v WillungaVictor Harbor v NoarlungaMcLaren Districts v Port ElliotMt Compass v YankalillaGoolwa has the bye

Kangarilla moved within two points of the top-four after a comprehensive nine-wicket win against Mt Lofty during round 12 action in the Hills Cricket Association (HCA) at Kangarilla yesterday. Mt Lofty skipper Josh Healey won the toss and chose to bat, but that was as good as it got for the Redcaps as they were bundled out for just 63 inside 32 overs. Adam Carthew (21) was the only batsman to reach double figures as all five Kangarilla bowlers took wickets. Ben Evans was the star of the show with 3/15 (8.3) and he was ably supported by Ryan Grimmond (2/5) and Jack Evans (2/16). ‘Kangies’ were untroubled in the run chase as they knocked off the target in the 20th over with Che Martinsen top scoring with 34 not out from 55 balls (5 x 4’s). Connor Milde (1/23) was the sole wicket taker for Mt Lofty. Meadows consolidated their spot in the top-four with a thrilling five-wicket win over reigning premiers Stirling at Meadows. The visitors batted first with Jack Pick top scoring with 63 from 73 balls (5 x 4’s, 3 x 6’s), while Harrison Webb (41), Josh Heenan (31 not out) and Charlie Fryer (31) made handy contributions with the Eagles posting a healthy 7/237 from their 45 overs. Callum Teakle (2/45) was the leading wicket taker for the Bulldogs. Meadows started well with Oscar Tydeman making a quickfire 27 (18 balls), but it was veterans Luke Tonkin (66) and Haydn Reid (54) who provided the backbone of the run chase. Another Meadows legend, Chad Dawe applied the finishing touches with a hard-hitting 25 not out as the winning runs came off the penultimate ball of the contest. Charlie Fryer (2/42) and Ezekiel Hemming (2/64) were the multiple wicket takers for Stirling. Scott Creek Ironbank (SCIB) are up to third on the HCA ladder after a comfortable 108-run win over Uraidla at Cherry Gardens.

Zane Lewis chipped in with 26 not out, while Uraidla conceded a whopping 37 extras as SCIB posted 9/205 from their 45 overs. Patrick Kepa was the best of the Uraidla bowlers with 4/37 (8).
