DONNA ON TOP OF A GRADE BOWLING


Going into the last game Donna and Neesha Iles (TTG/N) were equal on 17 wickets apiece.

It was always going to a close run thing.

Our batters had an alteria motive when batting – don’t get out to Neesh!  Rachael (in her first spell) and Kylie (in her second) fell victim to the wily medium pacer.

As the TTG N innings started Donna needed two wickets to tie and three to win the trophy.  After her first spell of five overs she had 0/17.  She took the wicket of Kate Murphy in her second spell to have them 6/69.  The Ainslee Knight / Chloe  Scheer partnership of 50 saw Donna re-introduced taking the wickets of tailenders Kruse and Blackwell in three balls to have them 9/120.

Donna has bowled consistently all season with a big workload of  96  overs for the season.  She has constantly given us early wickets (with 14 of her 20 being top order players.)

Donna also earned selection in the Australian Under 16 Indoor side which played (and won) the International Indoor titles in South Africa in September.
