A Couple of wins Brandi does a Tanner and Ella's first A grade wicket


B Grade captain Brandi Ongley produced a captains innings with a Captain’s finish to give the Bs their first win for the season.
Batting second in quest of 118 (16 overs) Brandi hit a six off the second last ball to give us a win.  (Last year A grade captain Sean Tanner hit six to give us our first A grade premiership!!!)

In sweltering conditions the they made 2/118 with Brandi taking the only wickets in her first and last spell.
We started well with 50 up in the seventh over.  Divya provided a quick came innings with 18 at just better than a run a ball. But in the closing overs Brandi took control of the game.  In that time she hit her first six, passed her previous PB (44), scored her first 50 and controlled the scoring securing most of the 15 runs needed off the last over.
Amelia Knight gave us a perfect platform to launch with good running. Salamoe (playing her first game for the season) scored a single off the 3rd last ball to get Brandi back on strike for the last two balls.
Brandi’s second six for the innings gave us the win!
In the first game  the Prospect openers batted into the 17th over to see them finish 2/142.  Eesher took our two wickets. Divya scored her first 50 on Aussie soil to see us dismissed for 88.
The A’s won their first game with a convincing eight wicket win over West Torrens
Our bowling was highlighted by Ella Wilson who took her first A grade wicket.
The best of the figures was Jess 2/8 with Charlotte, T Mac and Tabby also taking two each.
Tabby 39 and K Mac put on 57  for the second wicket and T Mac and K Mac finished the  job with a 59 run unbroken stand to finish the game in the 28th over.
T Mac also scored 81 and took a wicket in the state game at Woodville on Saturday.  Charlotte scored her second Scorpions ton in the SA win over WA.
