💚🖤 Willey Ladies v Pontesbury Ladies – Women’s Softball 🏏
A tough one for the Willey ladies yesterday as they played the lovely Pontesbury Cricket Club team! Pontesbury Cricket Club
Willey batted first, putting 105 all out from 20 overs on the board.
There were some great contributions throughout the innings, with Gemma Foster and Jodie Foster both making 19, Cath Searle adding 16, the rest chipping in. With 27 extras also added, the team battled right through to the end. 👏
Pontesbury came out chasing and reached 106/2 from just 14.5 overs, winning by 7 wickets. A special mention to our bowlers, who kept battling away — Helen Jones and Rachel Jones both picking up wickets, while Issy Walters, Susie Brown, Carla Brassington and Jodie Foster all put in valuable spells. 💪🏏
But yesterday wasn’t just about the result. ❤️ Pontesbury were an absolute pleasure to play against — friendly, welcoming and full of great spirit throughout the game. It’s always lovely to see this team, and games like this are exactly what women’s cricket and softball should be about: enjoying the game, supporting each other and having a good laugh along the way! 🥰🏏
🌟 CAPTAIN’S PLAYER – JODIE FOSTER 🌟Jodie Foster
Jodie absolutely threw herself into everything yesterday! 💪 She delivered with the ball, the bat and in the field, but her contribution didn’t stop there.
🌟 She gave me fantastic support off the pitch too, talking through possible tactics and outcomes and helping me think through different situations during the game. Her support was invaluable and it was brilliant to watch her confidence grow with the bat as the innings progressed. ❤️
A thoroughly deserved Captain’s Player! 👏🚀
Well done ladies — another game, another opportunity to learn, improve and enjoy playing together. 💚🖤
And thank you Pontesbury for being the lovely team you are — always good to see you! 🥰🏏
