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.
