Gisborne and District Cricket Association’s women’s representative side was left on the sidelines on Wednesday night. The GDCA was set to play a Ballarat Cricket Association representative side, but the match was cancelled with the BCA unable to get a team up. The GDCA said it would hopefully get another representative game up before the season is over, most likely against the Castlemaine and District Cricket Association. The CDCA won the first game between the two sides earlier this month.
