Heading into Round 3, the Wandin Women’s team were 1-1, eager to get back out there this weekend against Warrandyte CC at their home ground.
After winning the toss and electing to bat, both Sky Wilson and Danni Ewart opened the game, taking on the solid bowling from Warrandyte. Chipping away, Sky Wilson made her first career 50 off 33 balls, with the team finishing on 122 runs from their 20 overs.
Keen to protect their efforts and facing the challenge of Warrandytes batting line up, the women knew it would take a team effort to get across the line, and it was nothing but that.
Coming out ready, both Olivia Edwards and Emma Curwood took on the opening bats, keeping them 0/10 off of the first 5 overs, and 2/62 at drinks break.
But it was the work of Jacquie Lowrie with a double wicket over and sharp fielding from all team members that saw the Wandin Women’s succeed by 34 runs, taking 4 wickets by the end of the innings.
With the eager behaviour from Nyree George diving for saves, or smashing first boundaries from debutant Jessica Trembath, the game was excellent, only seeing the hard work of training shine through on the field.
Both teams played an outstanding standard of cricket, and it was an exciting game full of laughs and determination.
Next week is against Montrose at Montrose Reserve, bring it on!
