Heronettes 3rd at First Attempt

12 Jan 2011

After winning 7 out  8 matches (one was drawn) and coming top of our group of the Autogroup Indoor Ladies Essex League , we had a semi-final match against Colchester & East Essex on 15 dec 2010.

After winning the toss, we decided to bat first and we made 72 all out with Payal Patel top scoring with 26 and Anjali contributing with 14 runs.  Our bowling and fielding was below our best and Colchester made the total within 8 overs!  So we lost by 5 wickets but enjoyed the match nevertheless.
 
Looking to end on a high in the play-off match against Woodham Mortimer, we fielded first and kept them down to a total of 71-4.  The skipper herself took two wickets and the team completed two run outs!  We then made the runs with 3 balls to spare, to win the play off and emerge third overall out of the 12 teams that took part.  Not bad for our very first indoor season!
 
As the captain of the ladies for the indoor season, I would like to thank all the ladies who played and for making it an enjoyable experience. We hope to up our game and come top next season!
