Southgate Adelaide stormed into third and kept the pressure on table topping local rivals Northampton Exiles with a three wicket win over Radlett at the Walker Ground on Saturday.
Skipper Matt Fitzpatrick won the toss and, on a wicket spiced up by the morning rain, Australian seamer Brian Cohen did the damage with 5-56. He was backed up by Liam Farrell with 3-23, as the visitors were dismissed for 162.
In reply, Adelaide had a nightmare start with Craig Lyte being dismissed second ball, but Matt Fitzpatrick with 30 and Richard Ellwood with a fine 64 ensured the Adders got themselves into a good position, before Farrell capped an excellent all round game hitting 28 not out to win the match.
Next week Adelaide visit Watton at Stone.
