The B grade had a convincing 73 run win over
Kensington. Batting first we made
8/149. Chloe Lyons made her PB for
Southern will a very patient 30. She opened and took the score to 68 in the 23rd
over. Her 63 run stand with Kate Weger set the base for Kate to make 68. She shared good partnerships with Emily (17),
Sam (18) and Rachelle (35).
Cara Allen produced a gem of an opening spell to have
Kensington’s top order in tatters – after five overs they were 4/13. Captain Nicole Baker chimed in with four
wickets at the end. But there were some very tight spells from Rachelle 0/9 off
five and Emily 0/13 off seven.
We batted our 50 overs to be 8/116. Georgia batted for over 45 minutes for 14,
Kylie was very patient for 22 and Captain Dayna (at Number 6) made a well
constructed 30.
Port got off to a flyer with 52 in the first eight overs to
set them up. State players Wellington,
Dean and Clapton scored most of their runs as they passed us four down in the
21st over. We cleaned up the
game quickly after they passed us with Kelly Armstrong taking 3 four
4 and Donna picking up two late order wickets.
For six of the 11 it was the first time they had played
against arguably the greatest Women’s Cricketer Karen Rolton. Rolts was a late call up for Port – she only
bowled two overs and did not face a ball when she batted. However, her presence on the field was enough
to get Port their second win for the season.
The Cs last game for the season saw Milly play her first
game for the club. We made 11/75 (6.8)
to Sturt’s 10/101 (10.1).
Nikki Moyle made 19 , Ann from
Kensington made 17 and Nicky Gore 13.
Don’t forget Grand Final Sunday at Adelaide Oval.
FROM THE ARCHIVES A REPORT ON OUR LAST PREMIERSHIP in C grade
at the end of the2006-2007
season.
We had been heavily beaten in our first seven games for the
season – but after Christmas did not lose a game…..
Still playing with us are JESS O’REILLY, RACHAEL
GREENSHIELDS, SHARI BRAY AND DAYNA COX
THE C grade women gave Southern our first premiership for the season
(the game finished Saturday evening!). In a typical hard fought game we
triumphed by 28 runs.
The game was reduced to 30 overs a side and started late due to the rain
on Friday. Port won the toss and sent us
in.
Our 150 run target was set up with an 87 run second wicket stand by
Captain Jess O’Reilly and Jasmin Thompson.
This was supported by a 39 run stand in 37 balls from Jasmin and Shari
Bray.
Port needed to score at 5.0 an over to win – after 11 overs this had
stretched to almost seven after a superb
opening bowling spell from Jasmin Thompson (0/8 off six) and Amy Slattery (0/8
off five).
Quick wickets from Shaunie Green and Dayna Cox put further pressure on
the Port batters. But a 63 run second
wicket stand saw Port with 56 to score of 42 balls. Consecutive wickets to Shari Bray meant Port needed 54 off 36. After a quick flurry
from Port tail ender Starcy Mayes (13 off nine balls) the Port chase for was aborted.
Once again a game against Port was a hard fought affair (with previous
wins by 20 and 54 runs being won in similar circumstances.)
