FINALLY SOME CRICKET - RACHAEL TAKES A MICHELLE

After weeks of heat, washouts and sprinkler disasters we finally had a game!!

FIVE FOR PFIEFFER - HENCE 
"MICHELLE!!!

Chasing 199 we fell agonizingly five runs short of our first 50 over win for the season.
The highlight of our bowling performance was a PB from wily off-spinner Rachael Greenshields.  Using a variety of well flighted deliveries and a Bice Oval track which was a bit slow at the Southern end she finished with a PB of 5/38 off 10 overs. Her wickets included state player Alicia Dean, state squad members Sam Betts and Amanda Wellington and state Under 18 squad member Sarah Thamm.
We had them 7/149 in the 36th over but the next 10 overs produced a match winning 39 runs for the eighth wicket.
Tahlia McGrath continued her good form with 3/26 and top scored with 59.
We started well with Rachael (8) and Tahlia McGrath put on 52 in 18 overs.  Tahlia and Jess (47) took the score to 106 off 28 overs, Kylie (37) and Jess took the score to 179 with six overs to go.
But we could not score the required runs.

This weekend we have a double header of games at Helen Black (with the catch up game against Sturt on Sunday.) Let’s hope the sprinklers have not been left on this week!!!!!
