Amelia joined forces with Caity and put on another 44-run partnership before Amelia was dismissed for 6.

Lucy was to join Caity and was dismissed for 1.

First gamer Kylie came to the crease with only 9 balls left and scored 3 and ran hard with Caity and her to finish not out with a beautiful captain’s knock of 81.

Lusatia Park set Kilsyth a healthy total of 6/179.
