Bs so close! A's the less said the better.

 The weekend was highlighted by the news that Sarah was named ICC One Day Cricketer of the year.

The Bs put in their best performance for the season to fall seven runs short.

A 41 run unbroken 6^th wicket stand between Bridee Tonkin (25* off 25)  and Chelsea Kennedy (11* off 25) took us to within sight of a win.

Bridee’s 25* was a PB.  (surpassing a score of 11 for the Langhorne Creek Under 16s earlier in the season.)

She hit five boundaries.  The 14 runs she and Chelsea scored off the second last over meant we only needed 14 of the last one. We scored seven.

We fielded much better than recent weeks (thanks to Patrick Jolly!) taking three catches and forcing a run out.  We had them 5/55 in the 13^th over but they put on 29 for the 6^th wicket to take it to 84, a run out and two wickets to Kate Weger in three balls closed the innings with nine balls remaining.

Anna took two wickets in her first three overs and openers Bridee and Rachel took early wickets to have them 2/18 in the sixth over.

We lost an early wicket, Anna and Kate took us to 23 in the fifth over, but we lost momentum in the middle overs to be 5/45 with seven overs to go. (44 off 42)

The As had Kensis 5/85 in the 12^th over but they scored an above par 151.

Tahlia, Rachel and Donna all took a wicket.

We lost Tahlia for 11 in the third over and could not establish momentum.

HIGHLIGHTS

Sarah’s win…. Just wish she could score some Southern runs!!!!

The Bs building momentum – a win is just around the corner….

Great to see another Mum on the park with Ella Wilson’s Mum Jacqui filling in.  The Bs were caught short with the injury to Sarah.

Another 100 – A grade scorer Glen Ongley scored a ton in the Noarlunga run chase on Saturday….in between the rain!  They successfully chased down 240.

Quote of the week from the D grade Men’s captain Jimmy Wilson “It’s great to see so many spectators here…. We don’t get that many at our games!!!”
