STATE NEWS

We had five reps in the State Indoor teams which played at Windsor Gardens in the first week of the school holidays.

Jess O'Reilly was captain with Kylie Rattray vice captain of the Under 18 side which included Rachael Greenshields, Courtney Brideson, Brittney Miller and Donna Clark.  The team was competitive in most games running Victoria to two runs.

I feel sure we will see the benefit of this sort of intensive game pressure as the season unfolds.

A successful game for us. (by our guest correspondent Rachael)

 

We batted first.

• Tom and William made 33 runs.
• Cara and Donna made 37 runs.
• Courtney and Brandy made 14 runs.

Making a total of 112 runs.

 

We fielded quite well:

 

Cara and William opened the bowling. Cara's figures were 0/12 and William's were 4/ minus 5 including a stumping and a caught and bowled.

Courtney and Rachael bowled next. Courtney's figures were 0/10 and Rachael's  figures were 1/1.

Sam and Brandy bowled third. Sam's figures were  1/7 and Brandy's were 1/8.

Tom and Donna bowled last. Tom's figures were 1/20 and Donna's figures were 0/12.

 

We had a total of 12 run outs and a couple of catches.

They finished on 67 runs.

 

It was a very exciting game.

A LOSS

STINGERS DOWN BY A RUN

 

Defending 35 we just failed to win over The Slappers.  Their last pair could only manage one run to just scrape over the line.

 

Our first pair scrapped their way back to 0 – having been minus 14 after two overs.  Courtney and Donna did a very solid job to make 17, Cara and Brandi 10 and Rachael and Sam 6 as we attempted to up the run rate.
