The U15 Girls hit the road once again, for their first cup game in the Girls U15 Club T20 - North.  Arriving at Sale Sports Club under clear skies and warm conditions, the girls were in a buoyant mood.

The toss was won, and WRCC chose to bat, aiming to keep the scoreboard moving and set a competitive target. Despite a slight stutter in the second over as Sanji’s wicket fell to a great delivery, the girls settled in and started to make waves. Contributions, boundaries and positive came throughout the order, with double figures from Amelia, Hannah B, Jiyah and  Hattie who retired on a decisive boundary. Wickets fell, but lovely shots from Daisy, Nell and Martha made it difficult for Sale in the final overs, and the visitors posted a competitive total of 146. 

In response, Sale’s openers looked confident despite the total, and matched the required run rate, but their positive start stuttered with Amelia and Jiyah taking wickets in the second and third overs. Nell got in to the action in her first over taking another wicket. A double wicket maiden from Amelia in the fifth, and the opposition were all but sunk. The final wicket fell to a beautifully flighted ball from Sanji landing in the safe hands of Daisy at mid on.

The result takes the U15 Girls through to round three of the north phase of the Vitality Girls U15 Club T20 Cup. Attention turns now to the league cup with the next fixture against Timperely CC on Thursday.
