THIS WEEK’S ROUND UP….. ELLA’S HEROICS


In the Under 14 Whites Ella Wilson scored the winning runs as the boys chased down 136 with three balls to spare!!!!! She also took a wicket.
 She was when she came in we needed five to win putting on the six runs needed with batting partner Dane Moore.

Welcome to  Divya Rawat Saxena who joined the Stingrays this week….This time last week she was living in Canada!!!! Divya joins us as part of the Darren Lehmann Academy.  She joins an elite group including Anna Kerrison and Tammy Beaumont (2014/15) and Kathryn Bryce (last season). She was involved in the Strikers Cup Have a Go last Wednesday working with Charlotte Edwards.
And while on Charlotte pencil in Wednesday November 23 (the eve of the Test Match) for a Q and A with Charlotte as part of the Cricket Lovers (SA) in North Adelaide.  It would be great to have Southern players at this event….The interviewer will be Kempey!!!
Our girls continue to draw praise in the Men’s 4th Grade.  Men’s A grade captain Sean Tanner passed on the  message from the Prospect 4th Grade captain who was very impressed with Jess, Alicia and Tabby in their recent game.  3 players out of 11 is not bad…. But watch out for more in coming weeks.
Alecia was top score in the first innings….

Caitlin  Seccafein took another THREE wickets in for her school side in the local boys Primary School competition (keep it up GOLDEN ARM!!!!)

GAME NEWS
The Bs had the bye.
The As played in as one umpire described “the worst conditions I have experienced in over 200 games!”
In game one Tabby gave us a great start with 34 off 31.  She showed great “game sense” taking on the field and some powerful drives and sweeps.
Jess (coming off a pair yesterday for the FOURTHS) made 12 and K Mac 13 no.  Alecia played a nice cameo at the end for a run a ball 9.
89 was well under par as it proved with Port scoring the runs in the 15th.
The second game saw us bat first again Tabby (13) and Jess (28) were the mainstays of the batting. But 74 (all out) was not enough as they passed us in the 16th.
On the day Tabby was outstanding in the field and Jess showed her excellent leaderships skills with determined games with bat and ball.
Quote of the day “Looks like that weather is going around us….. “ as the sleet like conditions hit us in the face…… from the worst weather forecaster in the world…..
