Against Nottinghamshire in the double header at Darton CC, good performances came from Aadhira Kalyanaraman with 30 in the first game. In a close 2nd game won by only 1 run, all the bowlers did a good job with Nottinghamshire chasing a fairly low score – Myla Panton with 2 wickets.
Cheshire away saw two good, tight games finish with one win to each county. Lucy Bradley scoring 41 runs across the 2 games and Aadhira Kalyanaraman taking 3 wickets in the 2nd game. Lily Tarbuck with 3 outstanding run outs (with help from keeper Lottie Willett).
The girls are working well as a team and are developing at pace after a full winter training programme followed by early season intra-squad sessions. Fielding during the fixtures has been outstanding and they have set themselves the task of always being the better fielding side on game days.
