Teenage Burridge Southern Premier medal winner Francis Moore [left] spent a long day in the field for Adelaide, but returned a respectable 1-59 off 14 overs as West End SACA rivals Southern Districts piled up 321-9.
St Cross Symondians' raised George O'Connor, who played a lead role in Sunbury's Surrey Championship triumph this past summer, smacked three fours and a six in a quick-fire 24. The pair are both wintering at Darren Lehmann's academy.
Past Hampshire Academy skipper Joe Eckland looked on as Joe Gatting struck an unbeaten 129 for Tea Tree Gully against Port Adelaide, while Scott Currie took two wickets and later made 29 for Adelaide University who closed on 134-6 (they were 87-5 when the Poole teenager arrived at the crease) after East Torrens had been dismissed for 149.
Fletcha Middleton, who made a first grade hundred on debut for Fitzroy Doncaster, managed only one against Ringwood, but his side romped to a big win after posting 244. Ringwood made 115 and were 52-1 second go.
Wilf La Fontaine Jackson's unbeaten second grade century for Sydney University earned promotion to the first grade, but had to content himself with a day behind the stumps.
Tom Cheater made 46 for Bayswater, whose 197-8 was overhauled by two-wicket winners, Box. Bournemouth's Connor Smith, who made a crash-bang 69 last weekend, took 2-18 to help Altona North (276) to a convincing 165-run win over West Coburg St Andrews (111).
South Wilts teenage left-hander Archie Farifax Ross was the eventual match winner for Mudgeeraba against Coomera Hope Island up on Queensland's Gold Coast. Chasing 132, Mudgeeroba were struggling at 113-8, but Archie (coming in at ten) showed ice cool nerves to get his side home without further loss, making 12 not out.
Suited and booted, Archie and his team celebrated with a three-hour midweek flight to watch the Melbourne Cup at Flemington Racecourse, a kaleidoscope of colour, where 'Without a Fight' romped home in 31C heat. Archie's still looking for the bookie who took his winning bet ...
Bournemouth keeper/batsman Ben Rogers had a surprise 19th Birthday present with a surprise call up to join the Greater Illawara Zone squad in next week's New South Wales Plan B Regional Bash and McDonalds Country Championships.
The call up follows some impressive performances with the gloves, for his Sydney Albion Park Eagles Club side and the South Coast District representative team in their recent Creighton Cup games.
The competition takes place from 16-19th November in Tamworth, a mere seven-hour drive from Rogers’ winter residency in Albion Park and consists of a day's T20 Bash, along with 3 One Day games against North Coastal, Newcastle and Central Northern Zones.
Rogers will be hoping to find some form with the bat when the Eagles take on North Nowra Cambewarra on Saturday.
