The Jets leader said if his top-order batsmen could capitalise on their positive starts the side would be posting bigger totals.
Damian Jones was the match-winner with 85 runs before a tidy 4-20 from his nine-over spell.
Hawkesdale, which was previously undefeated, could only manage 202 in its innings.
Jones has been playing division two with family this season but stepped up to play the Cats.
"He's an unbelievable cricketer and a genuine all-rounder," Boyle said.
"A few of us in the top-order threw our wickets away early.
"Jonesy came in at number five and steadied the ship.
He's an unbelievable cricketer and a genuine all-rounder.

"He batted with our tail extremely well and was pretty unlucky to not get 100."
Jones was coming off back-to-back centuries (116 and 106) with Mailors Flat's division two team.
The Jets face Purnim on Saturday at Winslow Recreation Reserve.
Boyle said it was important his side claimed another win before the Christmas break.
"We're on a couple wins and a couple of losses, it'd be nice to be more wins that losses heading into Christmas," he said.
The co-captain said his team could climb the ladder.
"I think we're better team than we what we are (sixth)," he said. "If we can get our batting right, we can challenge the best teams in the league."
Panmure is sitting in first spot with four wins and one loss.
