There were smiles all round after our Valley Womens 1st Grade accounted for Gold Coast Womens 1st Grade by 86 runs at Peter Easton Oval on Sunday.
We batted first and finished with 4/234 on the board from 50 overs. Lucinda Bourke posted a half-century, making 78 off 73 balls with ten fours. Megan Jones made a brilliant 69 off 101 balls, a well-made fifty. Holly Crighton provided good support with 33.
Gold Coast Womens 1st Grade were all out for 148 in 45.3 overs in reply. Fifty for Laura Scheiwe, who made 58 for our opponents. Jessica Crighton led the way with the ball, finishing with three for 11.
Our bowlers made sure the visitors didn't bat out their overs.
The first win of the season is in the bank. Well done, team.
