Gisborne among the winners

The rain held off and pitches dried off enough for the Gisborne and District Cricket Association women’s competition could go ahead on Sunday.

The Dragons made 3-154 from their 30 overs with Brianna Woodburn top scoring with 72 not out at the top of the order.

Connagh Phillips top scored with 26 not out.

Ninna Harbinson took three wickets for the Dragons.

Bacchus Marsh, Wallan and Darley were the other winners.

The Lions were too strong for Macedon.

Bacchus Marsh made 4-185 from their overs with Sarah Bamford top scoring with 73 not out having retired after reaching 70.

The Cats were able to get some partnerships together, but the run rate got away from them as they were restricted to 3-138.

Caitlin Shaw top scored with 65 not out.

Darley had a day out with the bat against Kilmore.

The Lions made 5-210 from their 30 overs with Kim Bessell making 75 before having to retire. Jaye Price took three wickets for Kilmore.
