The B grade had their first game of cricket for 35 days against Sturt. We had the Blues in early trouble with our opening bowlers Brandi and Divya taking 4/18 in six overs. They recovered to make 79. Brandi continued her great work in the Bs with a career best (B grade) 3/11.
We started well with an opening partnership of 10 – but we were soon in similar trouble to Sturt being 5/29. Brandi and Amelia put on 15 for the 7th wicket to give us a chance of a win. But we lost 4/4 to finish 20 runs short.
Brandi continues her good scores in the B grade with 36 (out of 57) after scores of 42 and 71 no in recent games.
Last week The Bs arrived at Park 25 No 1 only to find the pitch had not been prepared…. Neither had No 2 or 3!!!
So we share the points at the moment…. But there may be a rematch… stay tuned….
The As could not maintain their encouraging work mid week being held to 5/55 off 20 by the Kensi spinners. They scored the runs in nine overs.
In the mid week game we chased the 110 set by Northern. In the 13th over we were 1/56 just two runs behind Northern at the same time. But we could not maintain the rate required finishing 20 runs short. Kayla McGrath played her best innings for the season with 28 off40; Kylie made 19 off 16 and Jess 16 off 17.
We welcomed back Kate Matonia who played her “annual game!” Kate played single games for us over the last three seasons. She comes from a background of Indoor Cricket where she has played senior cricket for SA and Victoria. She also reminded Kempey he had first coached her 18 years ago!!!!!
Kaitlyn Heath had her first taste of interstate cricket with selection in the SAPSASA team last week.
We wish Ella all the best with her work in the Under 15 state team this week.
