Just over halfway to the finals and here's how the top 3 grades are standing
A1
T Wordsworth (Para Hills) leads Champion Player points by a country mile with 293 runs @41.9 including a ton v Reynella, and 29 wkts with 4x5fa's
S Harvey (Port Dist) falls from top spot but still tracking very well with 170 runs and 20 wkts including 7fa vs Para Hills and 2x5fa's
A Wilkins (Hope Valley) still piling on the runs with 374@74.8, 2 tons and 2x50s with only the one failure, and 9 wkts
M Hehner (Reynella) in form as of late with 241 runs@48.2, 2x50s and 13 wkts, but going for a few to get them
J Barnes (Grange) rounds out the top 5 with 232 runs@46.4, 3x50s with a 98 v Hope Valley, and 13 wkts
Pooraka have 4 players in the top 20, followed by Port Dist, Walkerville and Payneham with 3 each.
A Perilli (Walkerville) and J Bailey (Pooraka) lead the runs with 430 and 429 respectively.
T Wordsworth leads the wickets with 29 (not a typo), with S Harvey next in line with 20.
Pooraka, Walkerville, Para Hills and SPOC make up the 4, with Hope Valley and Prince Alfred just outside and the rest jostling for position. Goodwood need some points after New Years or they could slip from A1 for the first time that I can ever remember
------------
A2
J Rosenthal (Wood Rech) is way ahead in A2 with 394 runs@131.33! (few N.O's but no tons yet), 4x50s, 18 wkts including 5fa vs Pembroke
W Stanborough (Marion) emerges once again with 165 runs@41.25, just the one score over 50, 20 wkts including 2x6fa's v the bottom sides
J Winnard (Pembroke) carrying his team at the moment with 149 runs, 2x50s, 18 wkts, 2x6fas
M Sandery (Ingle Farm) very high up considering hes barely batted, has 24 wkts@10, just the one haul of 6fa v Marion
The next 3 are very close together, T Kennewell (Flinders Park) helping his team climb the ladder with 18 wkts, D Maunder (Brighton) with 363 runs@51.86, and P Duffett (Wood Rech) with 280 runs@56 and 7 wkts
Wood Rech have 4 players in the top 20, followed by Old Scotch with 3.
J Rosenthal leads the runs with 394, closely followed up by D Scholz (Old Scotch), J Jarrett (Pooraka) and D Maunder who have all cracked 350+ before christmas.
M Sandery leads the wickets with 24, followed by W Stanborough with 20.
Ingle Farm, Wood Rech and Old Scotch make up the top 3 with Unley and Flinders Park fighting for 4th. Fulham, Hectorville and Pembroke are fighting to stay afloat.
-------------------------
A3
J Furnell (Trinity) tops Champion Player but with competition, he has 66 runs, 24 wkts@12.5, 2x4fa's
Z Rehman (Concordia) is close by with 72 runs, 21 wkts, 3x4fa's
J Southwell (Trinity) making a good partnership with Furnell with 21 wkts, 2x5fa's
B Whitehead (Golden Grove) is the highest batter with 257 runs@42.83, 112 v Concordia, 2x50s, 10 wkts including 5fa v Pulteney
Then it gets very close with J Douventzidis (Pulteney) with 119 runs and 16 wkts, A Ellis (Reynella) with 116 runs and 16 wkts, and L Partridge (Gepps Cross) with 435 runs including a 150 v Modbury and another ton.
Gepps Cross have a spread of contributors with 5 players in the top 20, followed by Sacred Heart and Old Iggies with 3 each.
L Partridge has the batting trophy to lose with 435 runs, 167 ahead of A Hyland (Sacred Heart).
J Furnell has the most wickets with 24, 3 ahead of Z Rehman and J Southwell.
Old Iggies and Gepps Cross are the top 2, with Trinity, Golden Grove and Concordia battling for 3rd and 4th. Sacred Heart and Walkerville aren't too far off and could do with knocking off someone above them in the new year. Pulteney and Goodwood need to turn it around before they find themselves in B1.
