THE Kookaburra Women’s League continues to deliver some great cricket as a competitive A grade race heats up.
Wallan did enough to beat Lancefield Black by seven wickets at Greenhill Reserve.
Batting first, Lancefield scored 4/115 off the back of Luzanne de Kock’s 48 off just 35 deliveries. But in response, Megan Farrell guided Wallan on its way to victory, scoring an unbeaten 52 before retiring not out, with the Magpies scoring 3/116 in 18.5 overs to win with seven balls to spare.
Kilmore continued its good run in the competition, defeating Macedon by nine wickets at the Kilmore Cricket Ground.
Macedon batted first, but the game had Taylah Logie’s DNA all over it as she took a wicket and contributed to a run out as Kilmore held Macedon to 4/111.
Logie then scored 52 off 49 deliveries to help guide Kilmore to the target, with Wendy Smith’s 14 and Chloe D’Elia’s 20 finishing off the job as Kilmore scored 1/112.
In B grade, Broadford continue to get closer to scoring its first victory, putting in a good effort against East Sunbury.
Batting first, Rebecca Houston scored 17 and Maddison Benham scored 12 as Broadford made 5/71, but despite Brooke Jeffrey’s three wickets, couldn’t quite defend the target as East Sunbury did enough to score 3/72.
Lancefield Yellow held on to a 22-run victory over Melton Centrals.
Connagh Phillips’ 27 and Charlotte Hiscock’s unbeaten 22 helped the Tigers get to 4/83, before the Tigers’ tight bowling held Centrals to 4/61 off their 20 overs. Emily Consiglio took two wickets for the afternoon.
