Bournemouth youngster Ben Rogers played a starring role as his Albion Park Eagles side made it four wins on the trot as they beat New South Wales South Coast CA rivals, Bombaderry Tigers by four wickets in a low scoring affair
Bomaderry lost four early wickets before a mid-innings revival saw them finish all out for 124.
Rogers opened the Eagles innings and watched in horror as five wickets fell at the other end in the first 8 overs with less than 50 runs on the scoreboard.
Showing maturity beyond his years, batsman/keeper Rogers dug in and was involved in two significant partnerships which saw the Eagles home with 20 of the 50 overs remaining. He finished unbeaten on 58 balls which included six fours and a six.
Further south, Cadnam and South Wilts raised Luke Evans starred in St Patrick's dramatic four-wicket win over East Albury in the Cricket Albury Wodonga competition.
Chasing East Albury's 170-6 off a rain cut 36 overs, St Patrick's were facing defeat at 133-5, with 38 required off 27 balls. Evans promptly struck the economic Cameron White (who took two wickets for three runs off his initial five overs) for two sixes and went on to hit 27 off 16 balls to get his side home with two balls to spare.
Up on Queensland's Gold Coast, South Wilts youngster Archie Fairfax-Ross made 26 and got his table topping Mudgeeraba off to a solid start and an eventual 207-6 before the bottom side Runaway Bay tumbled to 93 all out. Archie wasn't required to bowl.
Jake Winter, late of South Wilts, cracked an unbeaten 89 as Glenelg trounced Southern Districts by 10-wickets in South Australia's 1-day Cup, while Portsmouth's Fraser Hay made 59 of Melville's 242-9 in Perth, a total Wanneroo passed eight wickets down.
Heavy rain washed out all the cricket in Melbourne, enabling Hampshire's Fletcha Middleton, Bournemouth's Connor Smith and South Wilts-bound Tom Cheater a chance to do some early Christmas shopping.
