Kaitlyn and debutant Jess to the rescue….. As battle hard..... Don’t forget Tuesday!





The highlight for the weekend came from the Bs.
First gamer Jessica Modistach batted over an hour in her first ever competitive innings and veteran (aged 11!) Kaitlyn Heath showed the essence of Febluary with an inspired 62 run stand in 60 minutes which took us out of outright territory.
Coming in at 7/26 (in the 16th over) Kaitlyn showed maturity and patience in her PB score of 27 no.  She was partnered by first gamer Jessica Modistach.  Jess’s innings was described by one of the umpires as a “you bowl to me”   innings.  She played the balls on the stumps and let the others go. She took over an hour to post her first run – 39 balls faced.
Sending the Northerners in we had them 4/40 in the 13th over courtesy of Kaitlyn Heath who took two wickets in her third over (on top of one in her second!)
But they recovered to post a par score of 138.
Kaitlyn was well supported by Dicko and Tayla with two wickets apiece.
We got off to a bad start losing three wickets in the first six overs.
Dicko batted well for 12, but the Kaitlyn / Jess partnership stole the show.

In the As T Mac continued her good for with 29 and 4/21(including the wickets of ex state player Tamara Clapton and current state reps Amanda Wellington and Sam Betts.
At one stage in our innings we were 2/61 in the 22nd over, but Amanda Wellington 3/15 and Amy Norris 3/3 cleaned up our tail to be all out for 71.
We had Port 6/61 in reply ,but former Australian rep Emma Sampson sealed the game with a quickfire 43 no at Number 8.


Don’t forget this Tuesday – our annual Febluary game against the Boys in Blue at Bice starting at 5.20 or so.
