Bs breakthrough for first win - Cs drop a game - Donna stars for Under 16s boys team!

The Bs had their first win for the season with a thrilling two wicket win over second placed West Torrens.

The Eagles batted first making 70 of their 20 overs.  Dayna Cox (on loan from the As) took two early wickets – Brandi took two and Cara bowled very tightly to finish with 0/12 off four.  Our fielding was the best it has been all year with a run out and catch.

We started badly with three wickets falling in the first four overs (3/3).  But we recovered with a 24 run stand between Brandi (4) and Cara (22), 17 runs between Chloe (5) and Cara and 18 between Marg Hay (23 no) and Cara to have us 6/65 with last batter Erin Bogan in.  Erin faced the two balls of the over to give Marg the strike –Marg finished off the game in typical style with two boundaries to secure the win in the 17^th over.

It was the Bs first win for the season.

By contrast the Cs lost their first game for the season. We batted first and looked well set at 0/41 after 10 overs.  Hannah Armstrong continued her good form with 17 (124 runs for the season @ 62!) and Nikki Moyle – opening the batting for the first time batted well into the 13^th over for 24.

Emily Armstrong made her PB of 6no and Ella Johnson put on 17 for the 5^th wicket to have us 75 after 20.

We had the Browns 5/47 in the tenth over – with wickets to Kelly Armstrong (2), Emily and Hannah one each at that stage and Zoe.  But a 34 run stand for the 6^th wicket took the game away from us.

Thanks to Linda Shaw and Zoe’s sister Jenna who played their first games this week – which takes us to 39 player who have played for the club this season.

With the As being called off on Friday evening Donna Clark received the call up to the Under 16 Whites. (A team Kempey has coached in his time as a Boys Coach).  She made 12 (run out) and opening the bowling took 1/29 off 16 overs.  Well done.

TAHLIA MCGRATH – OUR FIRST SCORPION!!!

Tahlia McGrath became Southern’s first Scorpion on Saturday 3^rd December 2011. Tahlia, was chosen as 13^th player for the senior state team on Friday and was called into the team on Saturday morning will the illness to a team mate.  She made 2, batted 17 balls and was out stumped “trying to force the pace.”  Luckily for us she was able not required Sunday in the second T20.  She celebrated with us with a well constructed 48 no where she “carried her bat” to be not out in the 19^th over.

Tahlia has had success at Under 15 level (All Australian) and a score of over 50 at Under 18s level last year.

We made 90 – which was not enough with Northern getting the runs in the 16^th. Kylie provided plenty of support with a brutal 31 (7 fours and one of these may have been a six!!!!)

The Bs (with five regular C graders) faced the daunting task of Adelaide Uni. 

We batted our overs to make 52.  Nikki Moyle impressed again top scoring with 14 (3 fours) and put on a 21 run partnership with Kayla McGrath.  Emily Armstrong batted for 20 minutes to show her improved form with the bat this year and Amy White made 10 no told hold up the Uni attack.  Hannah Baker and Kayla Stazuk took the two wickets to fall.

The Cs had a scratch match with the Sturt girls.  This was a very good hit out for the girls who have recently joined the club.

We wish Jess and Rachael good luck with their School Volleyball commitments this week in Melbourne and Kayla McGrath with her Under 15 games this week in Sydney.

This week the As play East Torrens SATURDAY and the Bs and Cs play at GB on Sunday.

As fight well v West Torrens - Bs struggle - Cs forfeit

The As fought well to go down in the 18^th over to West Torrens.

Batting first Tahlia and Rachael got us off to the perfect start with 58 off 11 overs – but we could not maintain the rate to finish with 104.  Dayna 16 off 11 gave us some late order momentum.

The West Torrens openers Symonds and Smith had them ahead of the required rate with 67 off 10 and they maintained their strong position to run out winners in the 18^th over.

Hannah Armstrong became player  Number 31 – taking a wicket and making 1 no in her debut game.

The Bs (with six of the eight players from last week’s C grade) chased leather for 20 overs with Sturt finishing 4/130.  Kelly Armstrong took two wickets in “the death” over with some very good leg spin bowling.

Hannah Baker top scored with 8 (batting for 19 balls) and Nikki Moyle 21 balls and Emily Armstrong 15 balls put up some good defence.

Unfortunately the Cs (who had not dropped a game all season) had to forfeit.  SACA rules say the bottom graded team must forfeit first.

We had a number of unforeseen problems this week due to late illness; broken fingers on Saturday morning and late call ins to work.

This year we have had 39 players represent the Stingrays in our teams this year – but with 18 players unavailable it is very difficult to fill three teams.

A big thank you to all players who played “up” this week – especially those phoned at very short notice.

Also a thank you to those players who told us early in the week of their unavailability – this helps selectors contact people who may be able to fill in.

Please please keep the next two Sundays December 4 and December 11 clear as these are the next times when all THREE teams are required.

Kelly Powerade cricketer for round 4 - from Cate Ryan SACA

In reply, the Stingrays chase started well, Hannah Armstrong (30*) and Hannah Baker (4) reached 18 before the loss of the first wicket. The Blues struck again shortly after by with Holt (1/12) doing the damage this time. Nicole Moyle (21*) then joined Hannah Armstrong at the crease and the pair then kept the runs ticking over steadily to secure victory for the Stingrays. Southern District finished their 20 overs on 4/79.

Meanwhile, Southern District’s Kelly Armstrong has been named the round four ‘Powerade Junior Player of the round’ for her efforts with the bat in her match against Kensington. The young Stingray was impressive with the bat scoring 30 before retiring not out. Kelly becomes the third player for Southern District to receive the award this season, her twin sister Hannah was the recipient in round one.

The Stingrays travelled to Col Waite Oval to take on Kensington as Stingrays captain Emily Armstrong won the toss and sent the Browns into bat. The skilful Stingray bowlers kept it tight for the word go; Emily Armstrong (1/7) was the first bowler to strike before Hannah Armstrong (1/16) also took a wicket. Kelly bowled her allotted four overs and bowled extremely tightly – only three runs were scored off her four overs. Kensington finished their innings on 4/40.

Needing 41 runs for victory, Kelly Armstrong soon found herself at the crease with the Stingrays at 1/16 and partnered with sister Hannah to put on a 54 run partnership before Hannah retired not out on 31. Kelly’s innings included two boundaries and came off 50 deliveries; she retired not out on 30 with the victory secured. Kelly has had an outstanding season so far scoring 26 not out in round two and taking 3/4 off four overs in Southern’s round three victory.

Nikolas, Alecia and Kelly will be automatically included in the Powerade Junior Team of the Year and will be awarded a 'Powerade Junior Cricketer of the Round' pack at their respective clubs. They will also be invited to attend a function at the Adelaide Oval at the end of the season, acknowledging them, along with other nominees throughout the year, of their outstanding performances over the season.

SACA congratulates 2011 SportSA Volunteer Award recipient Robyn LeCornu

from SACA Website
Monday 21 November 2011


SportSA Volunteer Award recipient Robyn LeCornu

Invaluable long-time cricket volunteer Robyn LeCornu was presented the 2011 SportSA Volunteer Award at the KMPG Celebration of South Australia Sport at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Friday November 18 2011. Robyn was nominated by the South Australian Cricket Association (SACA) in September and was one of three finalists.

The award recognises an individual who has made a significant contribution to the sports industry in a voluntary capacity. In February this year, Robyn was awarded a Cricket Australia 50 years’ service medal recognising her efforts as a cricket volunteer. Her dedication to cricket over the past five decades through her tireless efforts as a coach, umpire and administrator is admirable and she can take pride in knowing that she is the reason many females are involved in the sport.

Robyn’s extensive administration background includes being recently appointed to the South Australian Metropolitan Cricket Association (SAMCA) Board, held chairperson of the SACA Women’s Cricket Committee and has been a general member since 2007. Along with being involved at an association level, Robyn has also held administration roles at various Grade Clubs. Robyn has also been a proactive advocate of ‘FeBLUary’, an awareness campaign introduced by her current club Southern District.

While still being involved in the game as a player (one of the few Grade Cricketers that has played in every decade since the 1960’s), Robyn has regularly taken up a position behind the stumps as an umpire, being a SACA accredited umpire since 1973 and regularly renewing her accreditation. Robyn has coached junior cricketers of many different levels, including primary school teams, high school teams, junior grade boy’s teams and state female under age teams.

Not only is cricket better off due to her involvement, but her passion for a myriad of other sports is astounding. Robyn has also found time to participate in and help out other sports such as basketball, badminton, hockey, netball, mini Olympics, multi-skills, scooter hockey, tennis and volleyball.

Robyn is a warm, kind natured volunteer who is a great credit not only to cricket, but South Australian sport in general. SACA is exceptionally lucky to have had the pleasure of dealing with Robyn over the years, as have a number of other sporting associations, clubs and schools, involving men and women/boys and girls, who have also benefitted from her tireless involvement.

Congratulations Robyn on being named SportSA volunteer of the year, a truly deserved award.

Weekend results and opening of Charman Family Changerooms

The C grade continued their winning form with a second win over Kensington.

We held them to 40 from their 20 overs with some very accurate bowling from Ellie Armstrong 1/7 off four, Kelly 0/3 off four and Hannah Baker 1/3 off four. We maintained good pressure in the field (they hit only one boundary.)

Our top order batters continued their good form with Hannah Armstrong 31 (third in four innings), Kelly Armstrong 30 and Amy White chiming in with 10 off five balls. Twins Kelly and Hannah put on 54 for the second wicket to see us run out winners in the eighth over.

We welcome Ellie Johnson who is a mate of Nikki Moyle to the C grade.

The highlight of the A grade weekend was the official opening of the Charman Family Change Rooms and the Peter Weeks Umpires Room. Guests included The Mayor of Onkaparinga Lorraine Rosenberg, Local Federal MP Amanda Rishworth, recently retired International Umpire Darrell Harper and Patron of the Umpires and Scorers Association and former state player Neil Dansie.

Thanks to Port Adelaide Women’s team who acted as a Guard of Honour (with our team) for the official cutting of the ribbon.

The Women’s Committee would like to thank President Harvey Jolly for his work in MCing the occasion and his efforts in writing the grant applications.

On behalf of the Club we would like to thank Sharon and her group who set up and made the food for the guests.

In the game we chased 262. We had them 5/119 in the 22 – but they added 140 in the last 28 overs. Jess took 2/40 off her 10 and Courtney took two in her second spell.

We had one good partnership of 38 between Kylie and Shari.

We welcomed Chelsea Dahlenberg to the Southern team – she is an off spinner who usually plays for Naracoorte in the Men’s Comp. Chelsea certainly entertained us with her repartee in the pavilion after her dismissal!!

Thanks to Shari who made the long trip from Quorn.

Kayla (29) and Chelsea (30) received their “Baggy Reds” before the game.

Congratulations to Robyn LeCornu who won the Volunteer of the Year at the recent Sports SA Awards.

This week the As play West Torrens at Bice, the Bs Sturt at Price Memorial and the Cs Northern TTG at Park 25 No 3 – all games are Sunday and all at 12 noon.

THANKS FROM EMMA INGLIS

Thanks David,




I thoroughly enjoyed my match with the Stingrays, sorry I couldn’t make a few more runs.

I thank the girls for their generous hospitality and making me feel so welcome. They are a great group of girls and hopefully can notch up a few wins in the rest of the season.



All the best



Emma

A’s in last over win …Cs make it a hat trick

Both As and Cs had wins this weekend.


The As broke through for their first win of the season with a nail biting last over win over nemesis team Sturt.



We won the game on penalty runs awarded by the Umpires BEFORE THE LAST OVER started. In chasing 114 we were 6/107 with six balls remaining. But the last over started at 6.02 with the umpires penalizing Sturt for a slow over rate and granting us SIX PENALTY RUNS to leave us with 113 and two runs to score off the last over for the win. We scored singles off the first two balls to secure the win. Marg Hay was in sparkling form with 29 no and Cara Allen 9no took us from 5/56 (with 10 overs to go)…. to a win with balls to spare!!!!

We bowled tightly early to keep Sturt to 1/11 of five overs and 2/43 off ten. They scored 70 off the last 10 to end up with 113. Dayna bowled tightly for 1/13 off four.

For the As Chloe Lyons got the late call up to receive A grade cap number 27.

(Kamani and Kate had late call ins to work and Courtney cut her foot for some very late changes to the A grade side.)

The Cs went on their winning way with a convincing win over Sturt. We dismissed the Blues in the 19th over for 62. Kelly Armstrong took the figures with 3 for 4 off four overs with some clever leg spin bowling. (A catch at slip, a stumping and a bowled off her quicker ball!!!!) Captain Emily took two wickets and Hannah Armstrong and Nikki Moyle took two catches.

Hannah A and Hannah B put on 19 for the first wicket to give us a good start – but it was Hannah A and Nikki who took us to victory in the 16th over. Nikki finished win 21 no (PB after 15 no last week) to support Hannah who retired at 30 (after 33 no in game one and 13 last week).

The Bs won on forfeit to Port.

This week sees the official opening of the Charman family change rooms and the Peter Weeks Memorial Umpires Room on Sunday as the As play host to Port at 11.50 and the Cs travel to Col Waite to play Kensington at 12 noon.

HANNAHS WIN POWERADE AWARDS

From SACA WEBSITE


….. whilst it’s Hannah2 for Southern District



Meanwhile, thanks to her efforts at Marryatville High School, Southern District’s Hannah Armstrong has been named the Powerade Player of the Round for round one of the Powerade Twenty20 Cup.

The Stingrays travelled east to take on the Browns, with Kensington winning the toss and electing to bat. The Browns got off to a steady start, reaching 23 runs before losing opener Alice Johnswood thanks to a catch by Hannah. One run later number three Alana Mutton was dismissed and the Browns looked to be in some trouble at 2/24. The Stingray bowlers kept the runs tight limiting the Browns to 8/84 from their 20 overs; Hannah Baker taking 2/22 from her four overs while Armstrong took another catch, this time off her own bowling, and recorded figures of 1/16 from four overs.

In reply, the opening pair of the two Hannah’s, Armstrong (33*) and Baker (4), reached 31 before Baker was bowled by Sarah Nash. While regular wickets fell for the Stingrays the runs kept on ticking over, Armstrong continued to bat through the innings hitting four boundaries in her top score for the Stingrays. Emily Jones and Sarah Fraser were standouts for the Browns with the pair taking two wickets apiece as Southern District finished their 20 overs on 6/93.

The following week it was Hannah Armstrong’s opening batting partner, Hannah Baker, who had a great performance with the bat in the Stingrays win over the newly merge Tea Tree Gully/Northern Districts team.

Southern District won the toss and elected to bowl first, a move that paid off early for the Stingrays as TTG/ND lost an early wicket to be 1/0. Stefanie Aworth (11) and Myra Mordaunt (23) then went about rebuilding the TTG/ND innings, the pair put on 30 runs before Aworth was dismissed. Hannah Baker came in first change and bowled a very tight three overs, only conceding seven runs. A couple more quick wickets had TTG/ND struggling at 6/57, but Carolyn Dittmar (12) and Courtney Fielke (19) helped TTG/ND to take the score past 100 with some late innings hitting. TTG/ND finished their allotted 20 overs on 6/103.

Southern District’s innings started steadily, reaching 19 before Hannah Armstrong was dismissed after a quick fire 13 from 14 balls. But Hannah Baker and Kelly Armstrong went about chasing down the TTG/ND total, the pair shared in a 51 run partnership before Hannah was run out for 29. Kelly Armstrong was then joined by Nicole Moyle (16*) who kept the runs ticking over as the pair reached the TTG/ND total with balls to spare. Hannah Baker’s innings of 29 included four boundaries and unfortunately for Hannah she fell just one run short of the compulsory retirement score of 30 runs.

Henry, Hannah Armstrong and Hannah Baker will be automatically included in the Powerade Junior Team of the Year and will be awarded a 'Powerade Junior Cricketer of the Round' pack at their respective clubs. They will also be invited to attend a function at the Adelaide Oval at the end of the season, acknowledging them, along with other nominees throughout the year, of their outstanding performances over the season.

C's win with four off last ball

Our C grade team won their second game on end with thrilling last ball win over Northern.

The Bs fell 45 runs short in a high scoring game against Kensis.

The As were beaten by last years premiers Sturt on Saturday.

The C grade continued their winning form with an exciting finish.  Northern batted first with Joy Brown taking two great catches in the first five overs and captain Emily Armstrong taking two wickets.  We had them 6/57 in the 11th over - but experienced player Carolyn Dittmar (who the C grade medal is named after!!!!) and Courtney Fielke took them to a competitive 6/103.

We replied with 19 for the first wicket (four overs) and Hannah Baker (29) and Kelly Armstrong (26no) gave us the advantange with a 51 run stand for the second wicket (14th over.)  Kelly and Nikki Moyle took the score to 98 (needing six) with one over to go.  Kelly hit a four off the second ball, a single off the fourth and Nikki finished the game with a boundary to secure the win.

Nikki's 16 no off 18 balls was her PB.

The Bs were involved in a very high scoring game against Kensis.  Gordon Brown Oval ran even more quickly than the Saturday when the As had played there, they scored 21 boundaries and we scored 14.

Kensis batted first scoring at almost eight an over to post 2/158.  Rachael and Kayla Mac took the wickets. 

We opened well with 35 off the first three and 59 off four to be  well a head of the required rate.  Rachael Greenshields innings was highlighted by 5 consecutive fours off Dodridge in the fourth over of the innings. These included two drives and three shots off her legs.

Captain Cara Allen also batted very well making 21 off 25 with some good drives and solid defence.

The batting was far better than previous games with 15 from Kayla Stazuk and 10 from Nikki Koritsa (welcome back!!!)

Thanks to Linda McGrath (1) in the Bs and Joy Brown (two catches in the Cs) who pulled on the whites at very short notice with two late withdrawals to make sure we had a full compliment.

The As had Emma Inglis, the Victorian State captain, on loan for this week - Emma's 29 could not get us over the line against reigning premiers Sturt.

They batted first making 5/261 - with Under 15 state rep Alex Price making 117 no.  We got Shelley Nitschke early for six and we had them 4/90 in the 19th over - but a fifth wicket stand off 99 took the game away from us.

Dayna had a good day in the field with a hand in four of the five wickets (two wickets and two catches.)

We could not get any big partnerships going with good contributions from Emma Inglis and a solid 19 no from Shari Bray.  (Shari travelled four hours from Quorn to play and is playing regularly in the men's competition in Port Augusta.)

Thanks to Emma Inglis for playing and fitting in so well with the team.  We will welcome Emma back any time she is available.  She will be be in town for games over the weekend of December 17-18.

This week we have a C grade B grade double header at Bice - with the As playing at Unley Oval - all games are on Sunday.

C’s open with a win – As and Bs not so good

The C grade opened their season with a one wicket win over Kensington. Hannah Armstrong (after games in the Bs) opened with a dominant 33 not out.


We bowled first dismissing Kensington off the last ball of the 20th over. Hannah Baker took the figures with 2/22 (including 2009/10 Dittmar medalist Alice Johnswood.) Hannah Armstrong took 1/16, sister Kelly 0/12 off four, Captain Emily 1/6, Georgia Tilbrook 1/6 and debutant Zoe Faulkner 1/4.  Marg Jude was in great form behind the stumps with a catch, stumping and two run outs.  A big thank you to Marg Hay who assisted with sub fielding duties.

Our two Hannah’s (Armstrong and Baker) put on 31 for the first wicket (six overs) to give us a good foundation. We lost 4/16 to be 5/57 in the 12th (with Hannah retired) – but a sixth wicket stand between Marg Jude and Serena Ongley took the score to 80 with five overs remaining. After Serena’s dismissal Marg and the returning Hannah Armstrong took the score passed the 84 needed for the win.

The As played Kensis for the second game in a row (50 overs last game) and had them in early trouble with 2/26 in the fourth over. They recovered with a 50 run fifth wicket stand in the last eight overs to finish with 112. Donna Clark had the figures with 2/12.

We lost early wickets (including three in seven balls from State rep Sarah Jameson) to be 4/12 in the 5th over. Kylie (18 off 19) and Dayna (17 off 24) took the score to 42 to have the best partnership for the innings.

The Bs bowled and fielded well to keep Torrens to 68 off 20 overs. Kayla Stazuk bowled 4 overs for 8 and Brandi 4 overs 1/6 to keep a tight rein on their opening bats. Debutant Talia Barrett with six runs of her three overs also bowled well.

We lost wickets at regular intervals and did not establish the partnerships needed for the run chase.

Congratulations to Cara who did a very good job Captaining the Bs for the first time.  She had good fielding placings and rotated her bowling well.

This week the As welcome Victorian Captain Emma Inglis for a game on Saturday at Gordon Brown and the Bs (Col Waite at the moment) and Cs at Gordon Brown on Sunday.

Welcome and welcome back

We welcome back Steph Barrett who played for us two seasons ago.

We welcome Talia Barrett (no relation) who comes to us via Marg Hay’s contacts in Women’s Footy. Talia played for Flinders (when Kempey was there) and is a medium pace bowler and top order batter.

Zoe Faulkner had her first C grade game for Southern – having played in the Primary School Boys team at Mt Compass.

BIRTHDAYS

Early November sees an avalanche of Stingray birthdays – Donna, Kate Weger, Shari, Kempey, the Armstrong twins  and Tahlia McGrath (!) to name just seven! Best wishes.

Bs give top team a run for their money

The Bs lost to top team Adelaide Uni by 15 runs.


We put them in and had them 5/46 in the 12th over. The wickets were shared with Cara 1/8, Chloe 1/8 (off three), Kayla 1/14 and Hannah Armstrong 1/14 taking the four wickets to fall to bowlers. The highlight of the fielding was Hannah took a great falling catch at square leg off Chloe and a throw from side on by Brandi to get a run out. The Uni side batted Captain Kylie Tulloch at six and a 53 run sixth wicket stand took them to 109. Jess and Courtney held them to six off the last two overs.

Jess and Courtney gave us a sniff with their batting – Jess 56 off 58 balls with five fours and a six batted herself back in to form and Courtney 10 no – put on 51 (unbroken) to get us within touch.



This week all THREE teams take the field – with the Cs and As at Col Waite (Kensington – in the Parkinson Oval complex) and the Bs at Henley High.

ROUND TWO A GRADE ROUND ONE T20 B GRADE

There were some very encouraging individual performances in the second weekend of Women’s Cricket.


Two players achieved significant PBs and our English debutant took four wickets.

The As put Kensington in and chased leather for 50 overs. We dismissed current New Zealand player Lisa Doolan early to have the Browns 1/20 in the sixth over – but a 116 run second wicket stand between Sheridan and Patterson set up the Kensington innings. They finished with 252. Courtney had the figures with 3/40 off eight and Talia bowled well to end up with 1/49.

We lost wickets early to be 4/1 off six overs. Jess (4) and Kylie (11 off 28 balls) took us to 73 and out of the “danger zone” (after 5pm).

The innings belonged to Tahlia McGrath who followed up her 49 last week with a PB of 60. She batted with good defence in the early part of the innings, drove well “in the V” and cut and pulled well. She received well deserved praise from the opposition coach and Umpires.

We batted to just after 6pm and into the 44th over finishing with 132.

The Bs T20 saw a similar result. The Northern / TTG openers made 48 off the first seven setting a platform for 6/131. Debutant Chloe Lyons took 4/18 (including a wicket with her second ball) bowling with the strong breeze. She bowled accurately and was well supported by the Umpire (two lbws) and fellow debutant Erin Bogan took a catch.

Our batting was highlighted with a PB from Captain Brandi Ongley (24) who held the innings together. The best partnership was 23 with Chloe Lyons and 14 with Emily Armstrong who finished with 3no (PB).



CONGRATULATIONS:

We wish to congratulate Josh Golding for his efforts over the last two weekends. Josh made his senior debut last week taking five wickets over two innings and setting up the Ds for an outright win. This week he took a PB of 7/12 playing for the Under 16 Reds at Bice Oval.

Josh has been a “net” bowler for us over the last two seasons and has been a great supporter of Women’s Cricket at Southern.

Well done Josh.

CONGRATULATIONS ON STATE SELECTION

ICA Morphett Vale has sponsored Brittney Miller.  Mick and his team have been great supporters of Southern District Cricket Club over the years.  They supported us last year with the quiz night and have been very willing to assist our teams in the Indoor Competitions we play in winter.

ROUND ONE - A grade DEBUTANTS START WELL

The As went down but our two debutants (Kelly and Brittney) had good games in the first round of Women’s Cricket. Both players were presented with their “baggy reds” before the game and became players 25 and 26 to wear the “Baggy Red.”

We had two debut players in the stand-alone A grade round this weekend. C grader Kelly Armstrong (12) and Brittney Miller (14) played against West Torrens.

Kelly was first in the game, bowling first change into the breeze. She took her first A grade wicket in her third over having West Torrens Number 4 caught by Donna Clark at mid on. Her final figures were 1/21 off four overs. Kelly took a catch at square leg off Courtney in the 33rd over. 

Brittney bowled later in the innings – after 10 runs off her first over she finished with 2/18 (both bowled) off four overs. She also took a catch.

West Torrens made 228 (all out) with Dayna took two early wickets (State player Angela Moritz for 39 and Australian player Lauren Ebsary for three), Jess took 3/28 off 9 and Brittney two.

We lost early wickets to be 4/30 – but a 32 run stand between Tahlia McGrath (49) and Cara Allen (3) took us out of the "danger zone" of outright defeat. Tahlia made 49 out of 81 when her wicket fell. (There were 63 runs off the bat at that stage!!!) 70+% of the runs!

This week both games are up in Adelaide at Park 25 on Sunday with the As on Number one against Kensington (50 over) at 11.50 and the Bs at Number 3 at 12 noon (T20).

Welcomes:

We welcome Chloe Lyons to Southern. Chloe is a right hand bat, medium pacer and wicket keeper from Somerset in England.

Welcome also to Zoe Faulkner who comes to us from Mt Compass (where captain Jess O’Reilly started her cricket!!!!) and is a right hand bat, right arm medium pacer.

SCORERS WORKSHOP

There is a scorer’s workshop at the Club Monday evening – all welcome.

Kelly and Captain Jess discuss field placements.

Both teams end the season with a loss

Both teams lost their final games for the Indoor season.


The Seniors lost the Grand Final to Sharks (who only lost one game for the season) by 25 runs.


They batted first and were held to 96. Their first pair made 45, second 8 (great bowling from Johnny and Rachael taking five wickets between them), third 21 and fourth 22.

Seniors in GF - Juniors keep on winning

Our Under 15 Stingrays side is into its third grand final in four years with a very convincing 61 run win over third placed Aldinga Sharks.

We bowled and fielded very well to hold them to 54.  Scores of 23, 14, 1 and 16 were caused by some outstanding catching and very good run out chances.  Rachael had four wickets in her two overs, Brandi three and Thomas two were the top bowlers.  We scored the 54 in the seventh over and were never headed.  Brandi and James 33, Rachael and Donna 33 and Daniel and Thomas 36 took us to 115.

Next week we play Sharks in the GF ( who we have beaten once this season.)

The Juniors had a very convincing win 147 to 60 over Flapjacks.  Eben and Ethan made 23, the Moyle family 38 (Liam a 7!), the Armstrong twins 37 and Emily and Jesse 49.
We took early wickets to have their first pair held to 12, thereafter they made 20, 19 and 9.
Liam Moyle had his best performance with 25 runs and three wickets.
Next week the juniors play their last game for the season.
