ELLA AND SERENA RECORD STAND..... T Mac first 50 for SA – puts SA in gf

The highlights of this weekend came from our rapidly improving B grade and the match winning performance of T Mac at state level.

               T Mac and Ella PBs this weekend!

The B grade recovered from a precarious 5/11 in the fourth over to a record breaking 6^th wicket unbroken stand of 77 to finish batting our overs.

On the way Ella Wilson achieved her PB of 48 no (previous 18) and Serena Ongley scored her PB of 13 no (previous 1 no).

Batting first Kensi Browns made 2/134 with Ella and Kylie taking the two wickets.

We were soon in trouble losing two wickets in the first over and three more in the fourth.

Ella’s innings contained 5 fours, took 55 balls, 81 minutes and she batted all but four balls of the innings.  Her fours came from strongly hit pull shots through square leg (including three in five balls), but her deft cuts and back foot drives were a feature.  She ran well with Serena, converting ones into twos well. 

Serena played her longest innings – 65 minutes, with two fours and faced 46 balls.

In the state game at Railways Oval Tahlia McGrath followed up her good performance last week with us to score her first 50 for the Scorps.  She came in at 3/15 with the loss of Captain Lauren Ebsary (and with Paterson and Taylor already out).

She put on 45 with Tegan McPharlin for the fourth wicket and was dismissed for 58 after a 99 run stand with Sarah Coyte.

She faced 118 balls and hit 3 fours on a slow running Railways Oval.  The innings lay the foundation for a busy last five with SA making 32 runs to end up with 191. We dismissed the Tassies for 160.

Tahlia’s 58 were the Highest Score at Railways Oval for the two games over the weekend the next best being 40 from Burns of Tasmania.

The Scorps head off to Sydney next weekend to take on NSW (who have won the last 11 titles!)  Good luck team.

The As made 49 with Rachael top scoring with 9.  They score them three down.
Alicia bowled well being "on a hat trick".

We have a weekend off with the Test Match next weekend.  Don’t forget the annual Stingrays Cup December 5 at the club.
