ELLA CARRIES BAT

Sunday saw the As and Bs host Port at home.

In the early game the As started well with 24 off five overs and 48 off 11 but steadily lost wickets to be all out for 74 inside 20 overs.

Tahlia McGrath continued her good form with 40 (out of 62 when she was dismissed.)

Port passed us in the 13^th over.

An interesting sidelight was two members of the Port team.  Coach Emma Sampson is an ex – Australian rep and Naomi Maidment was a former Scorpion player.  Both were coached by Kempey at State Under Age level.

The Bs continued their steady improvement.  We batted our 20 overs with Ella Wilson carrying her bat for 18 no.

She was ably supported by Caitlin Secoffein (2) and Chloe Dancer (4 no).  Ella and Chloe put on an unbroken 47 run stand.

Port scored the runs in 11^th over.

Caitlin took the only wicket.  This was her first wicket for the club. 

She also scored her first runs for the season after 53 balls!!! (Let’s hope the next runs don’t take that long!!!)

 BIG THANK YOUS

Thanks to the A graders who stayed on after their game to assist with the warm ups for the B graders.

UPCOMING GAMES

After the efforts of Ella (Eastern F), Chelsea and Kaitlyn (Reynella East) for their respective Primary schools they will be playing in T20 finals at Adelaide Oval on November 11.

REYNELLA Milo In2Cricket starts this week.

KYLIE IN FORM - CAITLIN IMPRESSES IN SECOND GAME

Both teams started with a loss.  The Bs keeping Uni in the field to the 15^th over and the As were passed in the 12^th.

The As batted first with our reliable opening pair Tahlia McGrath (20) and Rachel Greenshields (12) scoring 37 off the first eight overs.

We succumbed to some clever spin bowling with one of  SACAs top wicket takers last year Shae Daly taking the openers and former Southern leggie Kelly Armstrong dismissing Jess and Donna.

They scored the runs in the 12^th over.

After deciding to take up coaching duties Kylie Rattray scored an impressive 36 (24 balls) in our 62 run score. (She had not played a B grade game since 2011.)

She came in at 4/9 and led the team well.  She made sure younger players including Caitlin Seccofien faced plenty of balls to get used to batting in game situations.

Our player of the match in the Bs was Caitlin Seccofein who batted over half an hour (32 balls) and supported Kylie with a 26 run stand.  She also bowled well having only five runs scored off her four overs.

Our first gamers – Chloe Dancer opened the bowling taking 0/10 off four overs, Salomae Haselgrove was energetic in the field and Kerry did not get a bat, but fielded well. Eesha did not play at a straight one and was given out lbw.

Congratulations to Sanjette Singh who became out 38 capped A grader.

(Caps being given for debut games in the 50 over comp)

 This week we expect to have the As early (12 noon) and the Bs late (3.10) both games should be at Bice.

We start our coaching at Reynella Oval on the 31st October
