IT was a big day for Wallan and Broadford in the Gisborne District Cricket Association women’s competition on Sunday, with both recording big wins.
In A grade, Wallan was dominant in recording a 136-run victory over Macedon at Greenhill Reserve.
Batting first, Wallan scored at a brisk rate thanks to Luzanne de Kock and Kia Montgomery, with de Kock scoring 52 off just 44 deliveries, including eight fours, while Montgomery scored 44 off 41 balls, as the Magpies delivered 2/183 off 20 overs.
Megan Farrell then did the job with the ball, taking 2/0 off three overs in a remarkable spell, while Terrie Haydon took 1/5 and Montgomery 1/7 as Macedon made 6/47 off its 20 overs.
While Wallan took the points, Lancefield fell to Gisborne at Gardiner Reserve.
Nat Jeffrey lost her wicket on the fourth ball of the match and things did not improve greatly for the Tigers, with Connagh Phillips top scoring with 20 as the Tigers made 7/68 off their 20 overs.
Jeffrey gave the Tigers some hope with an early wicket, but Gisborne dominated and needed just 12 overs to chase down the target, scoring 2/69, with Chloe Donnellon also taking a wicket.
Wallan and Lancefield will take on one another this week at Lancefield Park on Sunday morning.
In B grade, Broadford had an enjoyable day out against Rupertswood, winning by 80 runs.
Broadford did not lose a wicket during its batting innings, with Brooke Jeffrey scoring a brisk unbeaten 50 off 52 deliveries, while Lana Wood recorded her first 50 off 60 deliveries, eventually finishing on 0/174 off its 20 overs.
With the ball, Ellanor Carboon took 2/8 as Rupertswood did not have an answer from its 20 overs, scoring 6/94 in response.
Broadford travels to Sunbury on Sunday morning as it seeks a second win in a row.
