DONNYBROOK WEEKEND WRAP!
What a weekend for the Donnys! Two absolute nail-biters, two massive wins and a few more grey hairs for the supporters!
A1 – DOWN GO THE LADDER LEADERS!
Saturday’s local derby against South Gawler was unfortunately washed out without a ball being bowled, with both sides sharing the points.
But Sunday was a different story!
Taking on ladder leaders Sandy Creek at home, the A1 boys produced a gutsy two-wicket victory in another thriller!
Sandy Creek posted 7/157 from their 40 overs, with the McIver brothers leading the way with the ball. Mitch finished with 2/21 and Dyl with 2/31, while Johnny Ritzema and Travis McIntyre picked up a wicket each.
Chasing 158, the Donnys had contributions throughout the order, with Dyl McIver (33), Abdul Rehman (31), Travis McIntyre (26) and Bradley Woodward (20) all playing important roles.
But once again, it came down to a couple of familiar faces to get us over the line!
JOHNNY RITZEMA AND JYE STEPHENS!
The pair held their nerve for the second weekend in a row, with Johnny finishing unbeaten on 10 and Jye on 12, including a massive six, as the Donnys reached 8/158 with an over to spare!
After last weekend’s heroic 1 not out, Johnny has now backed it up with 10 not out. The talk around town about a promotion up the batting order is only getting louder!
A massive win against the top side and plenty of momentum building for the A1 boys!
A3 – AN ABSOLUTE HEART-STOPPER!
If the A1s weren’t enough for the blood pressure, the A3s certainly made sure of it on Saturday!
Heading to Greenock, the boys posted 9/136 from their 40 overs, with skipper Adam Lewis and Mark Gebauer both making 32, Zac Lowe contributing 25 and Dallas Riches battling away for an unbeaten 23.
A valuable 10 not out from Devlin Allford at the end also proved crucial!
With runs at a premium, the boys needed a big effort with the ball, and they delivered!
Dallas Riches capped off a brilliant all-round performance with 4/20 from six overs, while Devlin Allford was outstanding with 2/20 from eight overs, including three maidens. Zac Lowe and Lincoln O’Malley also chipped in with a wicket each.
It was edge-of-your-seat stuff in the final over, but the Donnys held their nerve to restrict Greenock to 9/134 and claim a thrilling TWO-RUN VICTORY!
Another fantastic win for the A3 boys, who are building some serious momentum!
A4 – FORFEIT
Unfortunately, our A4 side had to forfeit Saturday’s clash against Eudunda Robertstown due to a lack of available players.
Disappointing not to get out on the park, but we look forward to seeing the boys back in action next weekend!
Two games played, two nail-biting victories and a massive win over the A1 ladder leaders.

BIG WEEKEND AHEAD FOR THE DONNYS!
A big weekend of cricket coming up, with our A1 boys facing a double-header at home, while the A3s hit the road!
A1 – DOUBLE-HEADER AT HOME!
đź“Ť Elliot Goodger Memorial Park
Saturday – Willaston v South Gawler
The A1 boys kick things off on Saturday against local Gawler rivals South Gawler in what should be a cracking contest!
Fresh off last weekend’s thrilling one-wicket victory over Nuriootpa, the boys will be looking to carry that momentum into another big game.
Sunday – Willaston v Sandy Creek
The boys back it up on Sunday against ladder leaders Sandy Creek in what shapes as a massive challenge.
Two big games in two days, with plenty on the line for the A1s!
And after his heroic 1 not out to get the Donnys over the line last weekend, the talk around town is that Johnny Ritzema has his eyes on a promotion up the batting order!
A3 – Greenock v Willaston
đź“Ť Greenock Oval | Saturday, 1pm
The A3 boys head to Greenock full of confidence after last weekend’s dominant 134-run victory over Nuriootpa.
With Lyndon Woods coming off a magnificent unbeaten 154 and Max Gray fresh from his incredible 6/16, the boys will be keen to keep the good form rolling.
Another big opportunity to build some momentum!
A4 – Eudunda Robertstown v Willaston
đź“Ť Eudunda Oval | Saturday, 1pm
TO BE CONFIRMED
Our A4 fixture against Eudunda Robertstown is still to be confirmed, with an update to come.
Good luck to our A1 and A3 sides this weekend, especially the A1 boys with their big double-header!
Get down to Willaston Oval on Saturday & Sunday and get behind the boys!
