Women: A GRADE WOMEN BACK TO EARTH

A GRADE WOMEN BACK TO EARTH

The A grade women came back to earth with a thud after their second up win last week – losing to arch rivals Tea Tree Gully.

The Tea Tree Gully innings started in spectacular fashion with two wickets. Dayna Cox bowled fellow state reps Victoria Bach and Tamara Clapton for first ball "ducks." Jess O'Reilly followed up with a wicket in her second over to have the Gullies reeling at 3/17. But an 88 run fourth wicket stand effectively played us out of the game. Tahlia McGrath continued her very impressive bowling with 4/25 off 10 and Donna Clark was very consistent with 38 off her 10 overs.

We lost Dayna early, but once again Rachael Greenshields was involved in the best partnership of the innings (33) with Shari Bray. Shari batted for over 70 minutes making a well compiled 28. (She said afterwards it felt really good out there!) The loss of her wicket (4/64 in the 20^th) meant the game was out of reach. However, a late partnership between Jess O'Reilly (9) and Kylie Rattray (21) saw us end up with 115.
