A 15-wicket haul by Doveton North quick Adam O'Donnell put paid to Hampton Park in the last round of DDCA action for 2009.

O'Donnell dismantled a rattled turf 4 Hampton Park attack, taking 7-5 and 8-17 from just 27.3 overs in the match.

Having won the toss, the Doves took two wickets in quick succession to put Hampton Park to the sword.

Adding to Hampton Park's woes, O'Donnell went on to take six of the next seven wickets for the match.

As if that weren't enough, O'Donnell joined brother Andrew O'Donnell to run out tailender Matthew Langley (13) to end Hampton Park's nightmare on 44 runs.

Batting at number nine, O'Donnell (32) top-scored to help the Doves amass 114, a lead of 70 runs.

For Hampton Park, it only got worse in the second innings with O'Donnell taking eight and brother Steven O'Donnell chipping in with 2-17.

Brothers Kevin and Andrew finished off the O'Donnell rout with three catches. Hampton Park were all out for 75, a lead of just four. The match finished in the third over with the Doves at 1-8.

■ Tormenting opposition bowlers is a favourite pastime for Hallam Kalora Park skipper Prince Singh.

Singh's made the most of captaining his U17-2 side with not out knocks of 27, 44, 60, 62 and, more recently, 60 against Coomoora.

Singh started the match against Coomoora taking 4-17 to help dismiss the visitors for 114.

Despite losing early wickets in the run chase, Hallam Kalora Park's middle order rallied with three half centuries. Singh's sky-rocketing average of 288 is helped by five not out innings from six batting sessions.

Hallam Kalora Park finished at 3-303 to destroy Coomoora by 189 runs.
