The West Torrens game was highlighted by Donna Clark achieving her PB with 5/21. (In cricketing terms and 5 for is a Michelle..... Michelle Pfeiffer!!!!) groans
The SACA top wicket taker last season has been bowling well but her best figures thus far have been a 1/8 off three overs.
She took wickets in the third and fourth overs of her first spell and took a further three wickets in her second spell.
But we were held up by state captain Lauren Ebsary who scored 126 and held the West Torrens innings together (their next top score was 17!)
We had them 2/43 in the seventh and 3/73 in the 12th over – but a 62 run fourth wicket stand gave them the upper hand. Our work the second half of the innings held their score to 232 inside the 50 overs.
Our batters could not establish any significant partnerships in the chase. Openers Tahlia McGrath (10) and Rachael Greenshields (22) put on 25 to be the best. Rachael’s 22 was her third score of over 20 for the season.
The C graders had their second game for the season. This week they combined with Northern to defeat the Sturt/Port team. Nikki Moyle kept and batted well. Serena Ongley bowled well and Caitlin Kennedy is showing steady improvements in all parts of her game.
Our last game before the break is at Kensington on Sunday.
The Reynella girls were part of the Test match lunchtime entertainment on the Friday. We had over 40 players and parents take up the opportunity to have a day at the test match and show off their skills at the Adelaide Oval.
Kayla McGrath had a very good Under 15 championships with 170 runs @ just under 25 per innings. She scored four scores of over 20 in the minor round and a PB of 65 in the 3 v 4 final.
She also took two wickets and two catches and four stumpings when wicket keeping.
SA finished a creditable 3rd to superpowers NSW and Vic.
