Stirling moved to the top of the Hills Cricket Association (HCA) ladder after a comfortable seven-wicket win against reigning premier Scott Creek Ironbank (SCIB) at Cherry Gardens yesterday. SCIB batted first as Stirling bowled very tightly to restrict the home side to 8/133 from their 45 overs. Adam Shearwood (25) and Darcy Campbell (23 not out) were the leading run scorers for SCIB. Veteran left-armer Pete Fryer snared 3/19 from nine economical overs, while fellow tweaker Jack Pick finished with 2/15 (9).The Eagles made relatively light work of the run chase as they knocked off the target in the 22nd over with Connor McFadyen top scoring with 46 from 27 balls (10 x 4’s). Sean McCullum (32 not out) and Harrison Webb (29 not out) put on an unbroken fourth-wicket stand worth 64 runs.Aldgate won their second game of the season with a seven-wicket win at Kangarilla. ‘Kangies’ batted first and got off to a good start with Jake Turnbull (46) and Steve Featherstone (35) adding 80 for the first wicket. Aldgate kept the run rate down as the home side struggled to 5/132 from their 45 overs. James Anthony (2/17), Felix Farmer (2/25) and Matt Hansen (1/21) were the wicket takers for the Gaters. Mitch Thomas (19) and Anthony (36) added 39 for the first wicket but when Anthony was dismissed, the game was in the balance with Aldgate at 3/62. Enter Blake Lewis (40 not out) and Max Bilsborow (19 not out) to put on an unbroken fourth wicket partnership worth 72 runs to get Aldgate over the line in the 30th over. Ben Evans (2/18) was the pick of the Kangarilla bowlers.A Ty Watson batting masterclass has pushed Bridgewater into the top-four after defeating Meadows by 87 runs at Bridgewater Oval yesterday. Watson dominated with a knock of 142 from 141 balls (17 x 4’s, 4 x 6’s) as the Raiders put up 6/264 from their 45 overs. Justin Summerill (56 from 70) joined Watson at 3/46 and added 133 for the fourth wicket. Will Bevan-Giles (3/46) and Callan Blackwell (2/58) were the multiple wicket takers for Meadows. Oscar Tydeman (58) and Rohan Reid (46) got the Bulldogs off to a flier with a 93-run stand inside 11 overs. However, once these two were dismissed, Bridgewater took over to bowl Meadows out for 177 in the 29th over, despite some late order resistance from veteran Chad Dawe (39 off 34). Ty Watson completed an excellent all-round game with 3/27 (6), while Ben Slater (3/34) and Jarrad Tait (2/31) were the other multiple wicket takers for the Raiders.Mt Lofty consolidated their spot in the top-four with a low-scoring 56-run win over Mylor at Heathfield. The Redcaps batted first and were in all sorts of trouble early as they slipped to 3/5 with Dylan Quinn (3/29) and Joel Durnford (2/38) getting the early breakthroughs. It was left to the ever-reliable pair of Jordan Neis-Beer (40) and Adam Carthew (28) to resurrect the innings through a 72-run union for the fourth wicket. Will Healey added a very handy 24 (22 balls) at the end for Mt Lofty to lift them to a total of 161 before being bowled out in the 45th over. Tom Jensen (2/31) was the other multiple wicket taker for the Pipers. Mylor were never in the run chase as the Redcaps put up a miserly bowling performance to bowl the visitors out for 105 in the 38th over. Michael Warburton (22) and Durnford (20) were the only Mylor batsmen to reach 20. Six Mt Lofty bowlers took wickets including Peter Giannes (3/19), Max Hawke (2/13) and Connor Milde (2/19). Ladder (after round 4)Stirling 18, Scott Creek Ironbank 18, Mt Lofty 18, Bridgewater 12, Mylor 12, Aldgate 12, Meadows 6, Kangarilla 0.Round 5 (home team named first)Stirling v BridgewaterMylor v Scott Creek IronbankAldgate v Mt LoftyMeadows v Kangarilla

Shane Druwitt bowled an excellent spell for the Warriors to snare 4/12 (7) and he was well supported by Jeremy Druwitt (4/46) and Chris Baschiera (2/25). After being in early trouble at 2/19, Trent Young (27) and Dave Wescome put on 58 for the third wicket.

Nathan Fitzgerald (26 not out) and Alex Durbidge (19) were the leading run scorers for the Cobras.Langhorne Creek consolidated their position in the top-four after a three-wicket win at home against Nairne.

Blackwell removed Timmins and Llewellyn, before claiming a hattrick in what would turn out to be the penultimate over of the innings. Blackwell finished with 5/18 (7) with four of his victims being bowled with the other out LBW. Skipper Adam Clements also bowled a good spell to claim 2/22 (7.5).

Strath needed to get some runs on the board and even though they got batters on they were unable to come home with Redsox making a K2, first baser Kylie Gray taking a catch and quickly throwing to second to catch the runner short of their ground for the third out and a double play.The third dig for Redsox again had some safe hits and they were able to bring home a further four runs with Strath’s pitcher making an out at first, Tomkinson taking a catch at short stop and Pash combining with catcher Kim Cutting for a K2 to send them from the diamond.

Neis-Beer brought up his maiden century with 112 from 115 balls (12 x 4’s, 2 x 6’s), while Carthew made 79 from 86 balls (6 x 4’s, 2 x 6’s) with Mt Lofty compiling 6/247 from their 45 overs.

Chad Dawe (35 not out) joined Reid and the experienced pair saw their side over the line with an undefeated stand of 52 runs for the sixth wicket. Callum Wauchope (2/29) and Matt Hansen (2/34) were the leading wicket takers for Aldgate. Mylor won their second game in a row after a nail biting one-wicket victory at Kangarilla. Mylor skipper Michael Warburton won the toss and sent Kangarilla in on their home deck and ‘Kangies’ were soon in trouble at 3/33 before Lenny Berkefeld joined Ryan Smallman at the crease. This pair added 87 for the fourth wicket before Berkefeld departed for 46 (83 balls). Smallman went on to top score with 51 not out (99 balls) as Kangarilla posted 6/151 from their 45 overs.
