YARRA Valley Ladies Cricket team played Pakenham Upper Toomuc last week, with the girls coming home with their second win for the season.
The Stars won the toss and elected to field, P.U.T. got off to a shaky start giving a few chances in the field.
However, the girls were unable to hold onto the catches as they had done the week before, seeing captain Downes and Caruana both making half centuries.
But once they did make the breakthrough, they were able to get through the order fairly convincingly.
An undefeated century by Donna Moore finishing on 101 not out was the highlight of the day.
Donna opened the batting and carried her bat through to the end of the innings; her shot selection and experience showed in her approach as she built her innings.
She was also excellent with the ball, taking 3/20 off 10.
Best bowlers: Donna Moore 3/20 off 10, Marlee Wandin 3/42 off 8
Best batters: Donna Moore 101no, Caitlyn Parker 15, Marlee Wandin 12, Ebony Camilleri 6, Jessica Day 4
Next match against Frankson at Frankston.
The Under 10s team took to the field this week with seven girls playing some for the first time and some as young as five.
They played against Warburton and had their first win.
It was a fantastic night and all the players had an amazing time.
Great signs for the future.
Ladies of all ages, if you think cricket is a sport for you, then Yarra Valley Stars is the team to join.
They also have an Under 10s Girls team.
