In Round 2, the Wandin Women’s team was able to play on Sunday after many other games were cancelled due to last week’s weather.
They had their first home game and were taking on St Andrews.
Evelyn MP Bridget Vallence came down to show her support of women in sport and flipped the coin, Captain Olivia Edwards won the toss and elected to bowl. Sending Saint Andrews in to bat Wandin knew they were going to have to stay clean with the ball.
The opening bowlers executed well and kept them to 63 at the 10th over. Tangi Clancy and Nyree George got their first wickets ever which brought the crowd alight.
Wandin kept Saint Andrews to 2-120 off 20 overs.
Wandin was ready for the challenge ahead, opening the batting Sky Wilson batted alongside first gamer Dionne Wilson!
Two early wickets fell from Saint Andrews’ tight bowling. Sky Wilson made a very handy 24 off 18.
Charlotte Edwards was outstanding, retiring on 51 from 45 balls. The match came down to the wire with Wandin needing 12 off the last two overs.
Unfortunately, Wandin just fell short lost by 2 runs.
The game was played in great sprits and both teams shared good laughs together after the game.
There was only one winner today; Women’s cricket.
Bring on next week, the Doggies will only get better every week.
