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.
