Off to Diamond Valley, we all headed to see the girls have to chase down another big score of 184. They tried so hard but fell 44 runs short.

Round 6
Even though tiredness has set in for the girls (and the adults too) this was to be the biggest run chase of 242 against the Western Region.
The girls all played their best game all tournament never letting the run chase deter them. They continued to smile and encourage one another and gave it their all.
They batted out the 40 overs and made 3/151.
This game was a real team effort.
Thanks to coach No1 Mark who made it back out of isolation for the last game, coach No 2 Richard who missed the last 2 games because went into iso and coach No 3 Chris who stepped in when needed.
