Shining the Light.
The weather played foul once again for our county’s regional Super 8’s fixtures. From a total of five fixtures that were set to be played on Sunday, only one was able to go ahead. That was over at Town Fields cricket ground between the ladies of Doncaster Town and Tickhill.
Doncaster Town batted first, with a strong opening stand between Alison March & Sally Donnelly setting the tone for their team's innings, failing to lose a wicket during their partnership. In the middle overs, Tickhill brought themselves back into the game thanks to youngster Imogen Bownes taking 2 wickets for 22 runs in her 4 overs. However Doncaster Town finished strong thanks to captain Shell Styring and Polly Sculthorpe, finishing with a net total of 279.
Tickhill's response was hard fought due to the tight bowling of the Doncaster Town Ladies. The pick of the bowlers being Alison March, with 2 for 15 from her 4 overs, with the innings coming to a close on 250. Captain Rachel Allen again led from the front in terms of runs for the team, scoring 10 from her time at the crease. Doncaster Town won by 29 runs and move up to 2nd in North/East table.
