Match Report Ladies 1st XI
It was disappointing to take to the field with only 9 players, but due to very enthusiastic fielding and bowling we bowled St Cross out for a 100 runs. Unfortunately our batting let us down and we fell short of the target. However lots of positives to take from the game, Kathryn Styles bowled 8 overs for 34 runs taking three wickets. More importantly two of these wickets were of their top three batsmen. Jasmine Zaman and Emma Croshaw making their debut in division one, bowled very well with Emma (2.4-0-9-4) and Jasmine (3-0-6-2). Jessica Hill top scored with 15 runs.
Rachel also proved how seriously we take Child Safety - Emma Wilson came running screaming from the bushes next to the score box after seeing a snake. Rachel's reaction: "Jasmine you are a colt please step away from the bushes. Let Laura go and fetch the ball"
Off the Pitch - Loud Shirt Night
