With the last three game almost upon us both teams are poised for an assault on the finals.
As you read this the Cs will make the finals this season. The outright win put us 30 points clear of 5th placed Tea Tree Gully and 6th placed Sturt. (A fantastic effort for a team which did not win a game last season.)
The Bs play two teams below them in the last three games and Sturt (less than a game in front of them.) Sturt have two of the four top teams in the next three weeks ( and us.) I expect the last game of the season against Sturt to determine whether we will make it.
The Cs OUTRIGHT win was the first in this team's history. Even in the barnstorming finish of 2006-7 we could never jag and outright and 24 big points!!!!
It was a great team effort with Nuggett (Nic Adams) again in great form with 35 (31 balls), a first senior wicket to Lauren Goldsmith and PB performances from Jess Vincent (4/3) and Kylie Dannenberg (4/10). Jess also had a great day in the field with three catches.

The Bs have won two out of three since the Xmas break – with a strong performance over Tea Tree Gully.

What an over!
The over of the season (as far as our batters are concerned) was a 25 run effort over Sturt. We were in quest of 134 off 20 overs.
Openers Jess O'Reilly and Rachael Greenshields had started well with 21 off the first two overs …. But what occurred in the next over set up the game.

Jess went on to score a PB of 87 not out off 38 balls.
The Bs won the game in the 11th over – taking 66 balls to score the 135 for the win.
Our first B grade win of 2009 was on the back of a record first wicket stand between Shari Bray and Rachael Greenshields who put on 123. Rachael scoring a PB of 40.
The Cs put up a brave effort over Port in game one with stand in Captain Emma Genockey scoring a PB of 22 in 70 minutes.
Milo Have a Go is on the way with Vinny, Jess Vincent, Nikki, Murf and Kempey running things!
