Yorke Peninsula cricketers Joel Tilbrook and Blake Gutsche were part of the Country Red side which placed equal third in the 2012 SACA under 14s statewide cup, held January 22-25 in Adelaide.
Country Red was one of six teams which finished with four wins and a loss, with just Country Black and Adelaide above them.
Tilbrook collected a pair of two-wicket hauls. The first was in the opening twenty20 game against Northern Jets on Sunday and the second against the Magpies in the final contest.
In the victory against Northern Districts, Tilbrook claimed a tight 2/8 from four overs; against Port Adelaide,he claimed 2/22 from five overs.
He took a total five wickets at an average 12.8 runs per victim.
“Joel is a left arm quick who opened the bowling for us,” SA Country Red coach Ben Johnwood said.
