There were smiles all round after our Gold Coast Womens 1st Grade put away Valley Womens 1st Grade with a stylish team effort.
Valley Womens 1st Grade batted first and were all out for 188 in 48.5 overs. Kira Holmes was the top scorer for our opponents with 43. Our best with the ball was Uditi Ratnala, who took three for 32.
In reply, the girls reached the target at 5/189 in 42.4 overs. Lindsay Vilas Boas posted a half-century, making 59 off 41 balls with ten fours and one six. Rebecca Duckworth's 54 not out off 95 balls was a half-century to remember.
Our bowlers made sure the hosts didn't bat out their overs. It's our first win of the season, and a well-deserved one. Thanks to our opponents for the contest.
