An excellent team performance by Moddershall Cricket Club ladies helped them to a comprehensive home win over Astwood Bank.
Astwood were soon regretting deciding to bat as quality bowling by Sara Dimmock (1-11) and Bethany McGowan (3-9) reduced them to 24-4 off 13 overs. Dimmock clean bowled opener Boycott in the first over. McGowan soon joined in bowling two and having another well caught by Amy Bridgett at slip.
Astwood fought back with Amy Capwell hitting 40, before Bridgett had her lbw. Good catching then supported the other bowlers to clean up the lower order.
Chasing 102 to win, openers Sara Dimmock (11) & Naomi Dale (21) made a solid start to the run chase. Sarah Hickman made a positive 27 with some clean hits to the boundary. Then Sarah Gough, playing her first game in over two years, played nicely to see Moddershall to a well deserved victory. Every player contributed in a win which helps in the battle to stay in division two.
Match ball sponsor was Mayfair the Cleaners in Stafford Street, Stone.
