A’s breakthrough for first 50 over win - Donna finishes with 3 in 4 - Bs down to top team

The As opened their account in the 50 over comp with a 52 run win over Port.

Batting first we batted our overs making 7/145.   This was about par on the slow running Christies High ground.  Tahlia was the backbone of the inning with a patient 44 (115).  She opened at batting well into the 43^rd over.  Her partnership of 58 with Kylie (42 off 52) set up the innings and her 46 run stand with Marg Hay (27 off 55) was the cream on the cake.

Kylie’s 42 was punctuated with 5 fours and 2 sixes. 

We field well – getting a run out in the fourth over to put the pressure Port.  Wickets fell in clusters as Dayna took three in six balls across her fifth and sixth overs, Kayla took three in four overs and Donna finished the innings with three in four balls.

The Bs were set 67 off 20 at Christies.  Brandi and Hannah gave us a great start with the ball to have West Torrens 3/7 in the 5^th over but a 50 run fourth wicket stand took the game out of our reach.

We also had an early order collapse to be 3/1 after two overs.

Hannah batted for 45 minutes for 11 to be our top scorer.

Many thanks to Chloe and Kelly who sub fielded for the Bs on Sunday.

We have a bye next week and at least six players away for the December 2 round. So if you can’t play please tell Kempey or Marg ASAP.

The C grade has their only pre-Christmas game on Sunday December 2.

 

Thanks to everyone in the Christies Open Market display Saturday morning.  We have at least two leads for sponsorship from this display.

Congratulations to Kayla McGrath, Hannah and Kelly Armstrong and Tabitha Saville who have been chosen to represent SA in the Under 15 state team in Sydney in late November early December.  Go well!!!

 

Good luck also to Kayla McGrath who will be the flag bearer on Saturday during the Test Match.  Donna, Rachael, Dayna, Cara and Shaunie Green have also been granted this honour.
