The As played Northern / Tea Tree Gully in the only game of Women’s Cricket played on January 8. After the storms the previous evening it did not look likely we would play – but Helen Black pitch was surprisingly playable.
We batted first on the “sticky” wicket. The medium pacers made the ball seam a little and stop slightly on the pitch. We made 57 with 15 from Dayna being top score and 10 from Brandi (at No 11) being second. Jess and Tahlia batted very solidly in the worst of the conditions.
They batted and passed us in the 9th over and went on to declare 64 in front. Brittney and Cara took two wickets apiece.
When we batted again Jess and Tahlia saw us through to stumps when Jess lost her wicket.
Many thanks to our latest recruit Tabatha Saville who made 9 and fielded exceptionally well ( complimented by the Umps) who joined us from Alice Springs. Tabatha played with Kayla McGrath in the recent Under 15 state competition and hopes to play a few more games with us soon.
In state news the SAPSASA girls have won their first two games of the current competition in Baruga (NSW). Kayla McGrath top scored with 50no (PB) in the successful run chase against the Vics. She was well supported by Hannah Armstrong who made 17. In the win over the Invitation side Kelly Armstrong made 10.
Tahlia McGrath made 2 and had 0/10 off two overs in her first game (T20) for the Under 16 boys team in the Bank SA competition.
She heads off to Ballarat next week.
Many thanks to Marg Jude who was our hostess at her Alpaca farm at Currency Creek last Saturday.
