The As made one of the top teams West Torrens battle for their three wicket win on Saturday.
Tahlia McGrath (34) and Rachael Greenshields (26) gave us the perfect start with 72 in 19 overs (this was their second partnership of over 50 against the Eagles this season). They played the quicks well – but off-spinner Harding troubled the top order taking 5/18. We finished with 142 with Shari (9) and Marg Hay (8) batting us into the 49th over.
They scored at five an over for the first six overs – but a wicket to Tahlia McGrath had them 1/31. State players Moritz (18) and Ebsary (45) took the score to 73. We got back into the game with a very good spell of bowling from Dayna Cox and Brittney Miller. They took 4/13 in a six overs to have them 6/117. Kamani took a wicket with her first ball to give us a further chance at 7/130 – but they scored the required runs with three wickets to spare.
Dayna bowled her best spell for the season taking 2/21 off eight and Tahlia was complimented by umpires and opponents for her two spells which saw her take 2/24 off seven.
Welcomes – to Jasmine Nadebaum (a friend of Jess’s from school) who played her first game over the weekend.
