DORRIDGE LADIES AT K&D KNOCK-OUT

Dorridge Ladies gained further match experience in a six aside tournament at Knowle and Dorridge CC on Sunday September 10.

As the only team of ladies in the tournament and pitched against some talented and competitive male opponents including county players and an international, the 'girls' were pleased to finish fifth.

The Ladies played and lost two matches in the morning league, but showed resilience and determination to win the play off game to avoid the wooden spoon.

All rounder Steph Jobson was outstanding in all three matches particularly with the bat. Carol Hughes behind the stumps and bowler Nikki Haines also put in excellent performances.

The experience of competing against quality players was invaluable.  The squad is now waiting for confirmation of winter net facilities at Arden School and looking forward to joining the Warwickshire women's 20:20 league in 2007.
