W&G’s Match report- Queensbury CC Women's Softball (293/3) vs Brighouse CC Women’s Softball (299/1) - (Wed 18th June)
On a warm, stuffy evening at Brighouse Sports Club — the kind where just standing still feels like hard work — Queensbury's Women's Softball team went out and scored 108 runs chasing a target. Let that sink in. 🏏
Yes, the net score didn't go our way and we fell just 6 runs short on the day — but we're not dwelling on that. Not when there's THIS much to celebrate.
Queensbury elected to field first, and the bowling attack did their job. Special mention to Leanne, who was outstanding with the ball — conceding just 7 runs from her 2 overs — and Captain Karen who chipped in with the wicket. 🎯
Then came the chase — and what a chase it was:
🏏 Karen — 24 off 13 balls, five boundaries. Somebody had places to be!
🏏 Gail — 15 not out off 11 balls, cool as you like at the death
🏏 Alice — a solid 8 in the middle
108 runs across 16 overs. That's a run rate of 6.75 — more than a run a ball. On a warm, stuffy evening. Chasing. Remarkable. 📈
And we simply have to mention Emily — 12 years old, playing against adult women, taking a painful blow to the leg and absolutely refusing to let it stop her. That right there is the spirit of this team in a nutshell. 👏🏻
Every single one of them should be incredibly proud of themselves — the coaches certainly are. 🙌
