Hannah also held on to one, completing a strong all-round performance. Bella delivered three tight overs, keeping things controlled in the middle.

Chasing a net target of 278, our team started fast with Bella hitting 16 from the first five balls, including a six over cover. Steady batting followed, with all players contributing. Sarah hit a well-timed four up the hill, while Daisy and Hannah batted through their partnership without loss.

Grayswood needed 22 from the final over... Phillippa stepped up, hitting three boundaries, and Julie added another to get them over the line. Grayswood finished on 103 for 5, giving them a net score of 278, just enough to beat Churt’s 277.

Special mention to Jess for calm and clear captaincy throughout and special thanks to Churt for such a great game.
