Cargilfield started the game by batting; Helene and Lottie stepped up as our first pair. There was some outstanding batting from these two scoring 19 runs in the first two overs. Athena and Scarlett followed and from benefiting from a few no balls, we clocked a further 21 runs. Shriyaa and Rosanna continued by being a strong team, with a few 4s. We had a couple of hit wickets but this did not deter them. Millie and Aglaya had fantastic communication, showing clear decisions of whether to run or not; 18 runs between them! Our final pair, Nancy and Emilia, concluded our batting team. They had super hits but erred on the side of caution; be a little braver next time girls, as your hitting gave you time. They managed to hit a couple of 4s so again, a strong finish to the line-up.

The success of batting gave the girls confidence going into the field. Their bowling was tight and we gave very few runs away with no balls. A super catch from Nancy meant that she caught out one of Ardvreck’s batters. The girls’ fielding was enthusiastic, communicative and some fantastic long-barrier blocks. A super job, girls!

Final score: Cargilfield Win 273 runs to 240
