Our Carlton 1sts had to settle for a loss as they were held off by Geelong 1sts with lessons to take away.
First up, Geelong 1sts made 8/255 from 48 overs. Credit to Mia Rogers, who made a half-century (81) for our opponents. Stephanie Townsend contributed 33 for the visitors. Shivani Narendran was the pick of the bowlers, taking two for 19 off seven overs. Charli McLennan weighed in with two for 38 off nine overs.
In reply, we finished on 157 from 47.1 overs. Cailin Green led the way with 23 off 43 balls. Sophie Reid also got among the runs with 23 off 40 balls. Jess Field bowled well for our opponents, taking three for 18. Aanliya Cheeran backed up with three for 28 for the visitors.
There are plenty of positives to take out of this one.
The side will be keen to bounce back.
