Today's game was one that marked where we first began, where we are now, and where we want to go. ๐๐บ๏ธ
It was a match to remember. ๐
For the first time, we arrived early before the opposition. ๐ A small moment, perhaps, but a sign of how far we have come. ๐
We warmed-up and looked ready from the start. ๐ฅ
Then came the toss. ๐ช We lost it, much to one of our teammates dismay. ๐ Her immediate response was: โTails does fail! What did you pick that for?โ ๐ค After all, it had lost the previous two weeks as well. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Worsbrough Bridge CC elected to put us in to bat first. ๐
Our innings was full of energy and intent: a few wickets, plenty of boundaries, lots of runs, and the same passion that has been there since our very first game. ๐ช We were hungry to perform and finished on 269. ๐ฏ
With the ball, every bowler played their part, each delivering an over to every pair. โพ There was some fabulous bowling, backed up by excellent fielding. ๐งค
Our improvement since those early days was clear to see. ๐ We protected the boundary brilliantly, restricting the number of fours and making the opposition work hard for every run. ๐โโ๏ธ
Worsbrough bridge CC closed on 252. ๐
It was a great game and we got the win. ๐
But this match meant more than the result. ๐
It represented our progress, our determination, and our desire to keep improving. ๐
It also highlighted something even more important: the community we have built. ๐ค Before March, many of us had never known. ๐ค
Now, we are part of something special that brings joy not only to the players, but also to the coaches, families, and friends who support us every step of the way. ๐ฅณ
Today was about more than just playing ladies cricket. ๐ It was about how far we have come together and how much more we can achieve. ๐โจ
