WILLASTON claimed its first win of the Barossa & Light A1-reserves cricket season by beating Lyndoch by six wickets on Saturday.

The Donnybrooks had secured first innings points last week and were chasing an outright victory on the weekend, yet the Dockers refused to give in.

Lyndoch made 5/253 before declaring, as it aimed to pinch an unlikely reverse outright result.

John Owen smashed his way to 76 before he was caught by Zac East, while Shaun Goulding made 50 off 28 deliveries.

The Donnybrooks made 5/83 in their 18 overs, with Luke Dunn top-scoring with 44.

Matt Robinson took 3/44 for the Dockers.

Meanwhile, Light Pass defeated Angaston by nine runs.

Lighties were all out for 278 after day one, setting the Blues a tough task.

Angaston lost Hakon Young for just seven, but Tom Jackaman (52) and Luke Doecke (28) steadied the ship with a 68-run partnership.

Liam Peel (43) and Leigh Stephens (45) were also terrific, but the Blues couldn’t find the crucial runs to snatch the win.

Danny Kaye took four wickets, while Keegan Schutz took three.

Elsewhere, Eudunda-Robertstown slaughtered Kapunda.

After the Bombers were bowled out for just 75, Eudunda-Robertstown smashed its way to 7/296 be- fore declaring.

Will Loffler (69), David Cluse (63) and Brad Wilksch (56) were the top-scorers.

The Bombers went in for a second knock, and made 3/56 before the end of play.

Finally, Gawler Central claimed a five-wicket win over Greenock.

The Tigers had sewn up first innings points after bowling the Schlungers out for 66 on day one, and went on to make 201.

Dhruv Sharma was unbeaten on 109, while Matt Taylor-McDonald made 30.

Greenock went back into bat and fared better, making 6/210 as Jamie McCafferty top-scored with an unbeaten 67.

In A2, Gawler Central lost to South Gawler by 106 runs.

The Tigers had to chase 224, but struggled massively apart from Jack Hamilton, who smashed his way to 85 off 96 deliveries.

Central was bowled out for 118, with James Nas taking 3/24.

The Lions enforced the follow on, but Central made 4/44.

In A3, Willaston was well beaten by Greenock by 137 runs.

The Donnybrooks resumed from 4/45 overnight, chasing 248, but didn’t get anywhere near the Schlungers’ total and were bowled out for 111.

Willaston captain Shaun Doolan top-scored with 30.

The Schlungers enforced the fol low on, and the Donnybrooks made 4/73.

In A4, South Gawler lost to Eudunda-Robertstown by 16 runs.

The Lions looked in a good position after they bowled out their opponents for just 95.

However, they were atrocious in reply, with four players dismissed for ducks.

Tyson Golder top-scored with 20 as South was all out for 79.

Elsewhere, Gawler Central beat Mallala by 19 runs.

The Tigers were bowled out for just 76 and looked in deep trouble.

However, the Pies were even worse with the bat, and thanks to the bowling of Corey Nesbitt were all out for 55.

Nesbitt took 5/9 from his seven overs, while Chris Menz took 3/7.

Meanwhile, Willaston beat Greenock by five wickets.

The Schlungers made 6/139, but the Donnybrooks caught their total in just 26 overs.
