Mannum are champions in the Murray Towns Cricket Association, two riveting semi-finals are set in the Great Southern, and Mylor managed to sneak into the Hills Cricket Association’s finals at the death. Catch up on all the action from the weekend here:
MURRAY TOWNS CRICKET ASSOCIATION (full scorecard here)
Mannum are back to being the champions of the Murray Towns Cricket Association, after they beat Mypolonga by 6 wickets in the grand final on Saturday.
Dwayne Krollig spearheaded a terrific bowling performance for the Kookaburras, taking 4/19 off 9 overs to keep the Tigers to just 100.
Nick Lindner then took charge with the bat, being named man of the match for his 40 to guide Mannum to their second title in three years.
It wasn’t all bad news for Mypolonga however, with their B grade winning their fourth consecutive flag with a 25-run win over the Wanderers.
GREAT SOUTHERN CRICKET ASSOCIATION (full scorecards here)
Two blockbuster semi-finals are now set in the Great Southern Cricket Association, after the favourites easily took care of business in the elimination finals across the weekend.
Port Elliot advanced in less than a day with a comprehensive eight-wicket win over Myponga-Sellicks, while defending champions Encounter Bay also beat Yankalilla by 8 wickets.
Port Elliot will next week face Goolwa, while Encounter Bay will face minor premiers Noarlunga at Victor Harbor.
HILLS CRICKET ASSOCIATION (full scorecards here)
Mylor has snuck into the fourth finals spot in the Hills Cricket Association, after Kangarilla did them a huge favour in a dramatic final round of the regular season on Saturday.
Bridgewater needed to beat seventh-placed Kangarilla to lock themselves into the finals, however lost by four wickets in an upset to open the door for Mylor, who beat Stirling by two wickets on the final ball.
It means the finals makeup is exactly the same as last year, with Mount Lofty, Scott Creek Ironbank, Stirling and Mylor to fight the flag.
ALEXANDRA AND EASTERN HILLS CRICKET ASSOCIATION (full scorecards here)
Langhorne Creek claimed the minor premiership with a low-scoring 11-run win over Lobethal, who fell to third and out of the qualifying final as the regular season wrapped up on Saturday.
It means Langhorne Creek will face bolters Hahndorf for a spot in the grand final next week, while Lobethal will battle Woodside in the elimination final.
