Macedon lost to Darley in a women’s Gisborne and District Cricket Association top of the table clash on Sunday.
After winning the toss and batting the Cats struggled finding themselves a 2-7 early in the innings.
With wet weather around, batting conditions were never going to be easy and it showed as the Cats’ innings continued.
Vice-captain Amy Miles top scored for the Cats with 31, as her team only managed 6-83 from their 20 overs.
Darley wasn’t clinical in the chase either, being 1-16 early. However, the innings became under control with Kim Bessell and Brittanny Ward at the crease.
Once those two departed, it was treading downhill fast with the Lions losing 3-14. However, the early work was enough to get them home, finishing at 7- 84 from 18.1 overs.
Amber Smajila was the Cats’ best with the ball taking 3-10 from her four overs.
Darley is now nine points clear at the top of the table.
Gisborne lost its second match in a row, this time to Kilmore.
The Dragons were sent to the field first, in what proved to be a good decision for Kilmore losing its first and only wicket at 77.
Kilmore was able to add another 25 before the 20 overs concluded, setting the Dragons a target of 1-102 to chase.
Hannah Weier was the best of nine Gisborne’s bowlers taking 1-12 from her two overs.
Gisborne were able to have a similar effect with the bat, losing its first and only wicket for 56.
Needing 11 off the final over, the Dragons could only manage four singles, falling short of the target at 1-95 from 20 overs.
Opening batsman Sophie Lindsay was the Dragons best run scorer with 37 not out.
Lancefield claimed the points in the other game, with Bacchus Marsh forfeiting.
The competition now has a break with the next round of matches not until January 28.
