Banbury Ladies 1st X1 travelled to
2nd match of the season. Buoyed
up by their win the previous week, the main focus was for Mrs B not to get too
excited and think that the team can take on the world – wise words from an old master, Andy Sabin.
So with a very calm Mrs B, Anna Tait won the toss and
decided to put Hampton into bat, and what a wise decision, Banbury opening
bowling pair Harriet Boland and Chloe Hill only allowing a total of 15 runs off
their first 5 overs each, Chloe securing a wicket, brilliantly caught by Emily
Ong. Kate Davies came into the action,
and got 2 wickets from her 5 overs, finishing on 5-0-13-2. Emily took to the stage and finished with
figures of 7-3-9-0. Harriet and Hannah
took a wicket a piece with
finishing on 113 for 5 off their 40 overs.
Openers Kate Davies and Chloe Hill started off quickly, with
over 5 runs an over, we only needed 3 an over to win. Chloe was caught by an amazing diving catch
from Nicky McCready,
player. In came Pia who, with gay
abandon, very quickly got to 55 not out; the only downside running her twin
sister Kate out for 22 (not a good car journey home). Our young star, Emily, came in and calmly
secured 12 runs to get the required total of 114 for the loss of 3 off 20
overs.
A big thank you to John Woodworth for scoring, Brady for coaching and Morgan for umpiring.
