Alecia’s Michelle, Spirit of the game shown in Bs, SCORPS RUNNERS UP TO NSW, MUM OUTSCORES DAUGHTER and SON !!!

The highlights of this week’s games came from the Bs again this week.
Alecia Holt, playing her first B grade game for the season complete a PB of 5/19.  She completed her first “Michelle” with two wickets in her first spell and three in six balls across her 6th and 7th over. Four where bowled and one lbw.  She was also excellent in the field and made a patient 9 off 18 balls.


We took three early wickets having The Eagles 3/29 in the 10th over (including the wicket of former stae and Australian batter Caroline Ward.)  But a 124 run fourth wicket stand took the game away from us.  They finished with 181. 
Nikki Moyle took her first stumping for her career as a keeper and Ella Wilson bowled economically for 0/17 off six overs.
Kaitlin Heath also took her first senior wicket with the assistance of some sharp work from wicket keeper captain Kate Weger.
Chloe Lyons (19) and Alecia Holt (9) gave us a solid platform with 29 in the first nine overs.  There were some significant milestones for players in the latter part of our innings.  Kaitlyn Heath, Zoe Reynolds (on debut), Serena Ongley and Natasha Tillson all scored their first runs for the club.
Our “mum” Jacqui Wilson  4 no not only outscored daughter Ella, but son Angus who scored one for the Under 14 Whites!!!!
Due credit must go to the West Torrens team who were well aware of our situation with new players to the game.  (we had six players under the age of 12) and gave our youngsters a chance to have success early in their cricketing careers.
We now have THREE PLAYERS from our Reynella Oval coaching with Zoe Reynolds joining Kaitlyn Heath (2nd game) and Chelsea Kennedy from this program.
A big thank you to the A graders who came back after their game to assist with the warm ups of our new players.
The As batted first against Port making 53.  Kylie topscored with 18 no.  Cara made 9.  Port scored the runs in 6.2 overs.
We welcome back the McGrath sisters in the next few weeks from state duties.

This week the Bs venture to Price Memorial to play Sturt.
The As may have a  50 over catch up game from the 22nd of November which was washed out.  It will depend on whether other clubs support the move.

State news
The Scorpions made it to the National Grand Final with a spirited win on Friday against Queensland.  Tahlia took a wicket as we dismissed them for 90.  She supported spearhead Megan Schutt (four wickets) in her final spell.
She also made a valuable contribution of 15 off 16 balls (second top score) as we chased the runs.  But the mainstay of the SA innings was Sarah Taylor who “got the job done” with a patient 21 no off  50 balls to see us home.


There was to be no fairy tale in the GF with the NSW side winning by 143 runs.

Quiz night
Thanks to all involved in our fourth annual quiz night.  There were over 75 paid attendees and over 100 at various stages in the evening.
B Mac, TCG, Donna and Rachael did a great job behind the scenes and Bowey was a great compere.
We had an excellent representation from all parts of the club and raised over $1600.
