B grade women put up brave effort against top team.

The Bs put up a very brave effort over top team Port on Saturday.

 

We welcomed back captain Jess O'Reilly after state duties in Canberra with the Under 17 team last week.  She opened with Rachael Greenshields – they put on 17 for the first wicket (12 overs), but we could not develop any momentum on the slow running Eric Sutton Ground.  Shari Bray continued her good form with 30 (58) and good late hitting from Jade Ambler (7no) and Courtney Brideson (7no) saw us 6/87 after 40 overs.

 

We bowled well with Port scoring the runs in the 31^st over.  We fielded very well with Jasmin Thompson (two run outs), Rachael Greenshields, Courtney Brideson (one catch each) and Cara Allen all performing well.

 

We had the first ALL MCGRATH dismissal with Kayla taking a catch off sister Tahlia late in the game.    

 

Jasmin Thompson returned to form with five economical overs for nine runs.

 

Thanks to Cara Allen who filled in at late notice.

 

This weekend C grade resumes with 35 over games for the rest of the season and the Bs having the last of the minor round T20 games against East Torrens.
