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