Tristan Weeks (Hadspen, captain)
- 145* off 101 balls, 0-30 from seven overs
Weeks' first century in Hadspen colours was a memorable one, guiding his side to victory by scoring more than 70 per cent of their runs.
Chris Collins (Perth)
- 54 off 111 balls, 3-37 from eight overs
A second strong all-round performance in as many matches put Collins in the team of the week once again, almost batting through the Demons' entire innings.
Jonty Manktelow (Evandale Panthers)
- 104* off 117 balls, 3-14 from 7.4 overs
The reigning Jason Savage Medallist has barely put a foot wrong this year, scoring 362 runs at an average of 120.7 and taking eight wickets at 10.4.
Amritpal Singh (Legana)
- 42 off 54 balls, 1-37 from eight overs
Singh is putting together a respectable campaign for the Durhams with scores of 63, 44 and 42 in their last three matches.
Matthew Walton (Perth)
- 77 off 70 balls
Walton and Collins were involved in a 118-run stand for the fourth-wicket, giving Perth a chance at victory before Weeks' century.
Rickie Wells (Evandale Panthers)
- 20 off 14 balls, 1-26 from six overs
With Manktelow set at the other end, Wells came out and went hard at it before removing key Legana wicket Dylan Sharman and taking two catches.
Nick Price (Hadspen)
- 22* off 43 balls, 0-34 from six overs
While Weeks was scoring the bulk of Hadspen's runs, Price played his role in ensuring victory for the home side after losing four wickets for minimal.
Blake Weeks (Hadspen)
- 3-41 from seven overs
Joining his brother at the Chieftains, Weeks became the ninth player in the club's history to take a hat-trick - removing Collins, Paul Fruin and Rila Rizvy.
Kieran Davey (Longford)
- 6-22 from seven overs
As Longford rolled Trevallyn for 46, Davey lead the way with his six wickets, dismissing five of his opposition's top six.
Jessie Arnol (Longford)
- 4-24 from 7.4 overs
Arnol was his partner in crime with the other four wickets, with the pair threatening to be a dangerous combination for the reigning premiers.
Faheem Khan (Hadspen)
- 2-11 from four overs
Khan took two early wickets to put the Chieftains on top before Walton and Collins launched a counter-attack.
