Surprise loss for women’s leader
The defeat of the senior women's cricket competition leader, Riccarton. was the surprise of the opening round of limited-over matches at Porritt Park on Saturday.
Riccarton lost to St Albans after making 95 in reply to St Albans’ 60-over total of 130. Sue Rattray had Riccarton off to a reasonable start with bowling figures of 6/25 but a tight attack from St Albans’ Liz Wilson and Karen Hadlee put paid to Riccarton's chances. Leslie Murdoch top-scored for Riccarton. with 35.
In the other match Sydenham. 171/6, beat Lancaster Park. 116, in spite of losing its top order cheaply. A rallying partnership by Sue Brown ’(62) and Sheryl Gardyne (51) put some respectability back in the Sydenham innings, while Debbie Hockley took 3/38 for Lancaster Park. Lancaster Park got away to a slow start and .never looked like reaching its target. Results.— Senior St Albans 130 (A. McKenna 23. U. Burtt 30. K. Gilra? 20. K. Hadlee 12: S. Rattray 6/25. K.
