Women: State news - Kayla McGrath vice capt of SAPSASA team.
Women: Linda has day out in the Cs!!
The C grade continued on their winning way with a superb effort from Linda Anderson.
She was the backbone of the innings batting into the 19th over making a Personal Best score of 51 (off 46 balls with seven fours.) Previous best 27 no in 2007-8.
She was well supported by Brandi (28 run partnership), Skye (13 partnership) and Nikki (17 partnership) to set the Northerners 4.5 runs and over.
The game was evenly poised throughout the Northern innings - they eere 0/19 after five and 3/39 after 10.
Linda took the first two wickets and also produced a key maiden over in the first of the critical final five overs.
At 15 overs they needed 21 off the last 30 balls. But the maiden from Linda made it 21 off 24. Brandi and Kayla produced a very accurate four over spell with only four scoring shoots (a four, three singles, one wide and one bye) to see us run out 10 run winners.
Our fielders were very good keeping pressure on our opponents.
Women: A grade loss after seven weeks off - Number 11 top scores!
The A grade – after seven weeks off (2 byes, one heat off, two washouts and the Test Match weekend) went down to Northern in the 38th over.
The highlight was the last wicket stand of 56 between Jade Ambler and Jess Vincent. For Jess it was her highest A grade score and the top score for the innings (Kylie's 24 was next, with 22 from jess and 21 from Nuggett.) Jade (16) and Jess frustrated the Northern bowlers for 15 overs to take us from a precarious 9/122 to a competitive 176.
Things looked even better as Donna Clark produced a superb opening spell taking 3/21 (including all three state squad members!!)
Further wickets to Jade (2) and Dayna had the Northerners 6/94 in the 23rd over. But a 128 run seventh wicket stand took the game away from us.
Our next game is a T 20 game on January 10.
The B grade received a forfeit from Northern.

Women: STINGRAYS ALL AUSTRALIAN
Tahlia McGrath was rewarded with ALL AUSTRALIAN SELECTION for her efforts in the recent Australian Under 15 Championships held in Melbourne.
The team shed THIRD. This was the best finish ever for this team and the best finish for a SA team since 1997-8 (when we played off for a spot in the Grand Final.)
Tahlia further confirm her status as a top order batter being SA's top run scorer for the Championship. She opened throughout – her lowest score was 12 and highest 47 no. Scoring 150 runs at 36 she was third overall. She also took seven wickets at 10.14 (and did not bowl in the last game due to injury.) She was also called into the Under 17 team which plays in Brisbane in January (joining fellow Stingrays Jess O'Reilly and Dayna Cox.)
Donna Clark had her first state trip and finished with four wickets off13 overs. She was often used as the "at the death" bowler which she has done very well for us this season.
I feel sure both players will have learned a lot from the intense pressure of interstate cricket.
Women: B grade lose to top team, upcoming games and reminders
The B grade lost their 4th round T20 game to current top team
