C’s win – A and B grade losses - Bangka memorial weekend

The C grade continued their good form over Port completing three wins out of three for the season.

 

Batting first we made 80 off our 20 overs with Hannah Armstrong making her maiden "30" for the season.  Opening the batting she scored her runs at a run a ball with six fours.

 

She was well supported by Kayla McGrath (41 run partnership) and sister Kelly (seven runs).  We had the Port side in early trouble with a run out in the second over and wickets to Kayla McGrath and Kelly Armstrong in the fourth and eighth over.

 

Kayla took the prize wicket bowling Port top run scorer of recent seasons Sonia Mangelson ( her sister Tahlia dismissed her in similar fashion two years ago!!!!)

 

Kayla bowled very accurately to finish with 1/1 off four overs (that run was a wide – which caused a run out!)

 

The A grade T 20 game saw a good 7^th wicket stand between Courtney Brideson and Marg Hay – which put on 28 to give us 52 off our 20 overs.  West Torrens scored the runs with 10 overs to spare.

 

The result was similar in the B grade as the Eagles set us 104 off  20 overs.  We made 38 with Rachael Greenshields making a solid 14.

 

A big thank you to the Mums who filled in as fielders in the Torrens innings as we had two late withdrawals.

 

 

BANGKA SUNDAY

 

Thanks to Courtney Brideson, Kayla  and Tahlia McGrath and Nicky Moyle who represented Southern and their state teams at the annual Bangka Sunday Memorial Service.

 

The service is held at the SA Women's Memorial Playing fields every February to remember the Australia nurses who were killed in the Bangka Straits on February 14 1942.  The Playing Fields were set up in their memory.

 

 

It's a busy weekend next weekend with the A and B grade playing Saturday and Sunday.  It's the annual Febluary Round and Febluary 20 is the catch up T20 round for the Round one game which was washed out.
