Secondary Division 1

Our first game back after the Christmas break was against Brandon Park. The girls were able to continue their good form from last year, winning the game 7-4. We welcomed back Reimi after her trip back home to Japan, and unfortunately said goodbye to Olivia for the season as she will be on a school camp for the rest of term 1.

Wow, what a difference a week make!! Whilst we were disappointing last week, this Saturday the girls displayed a very impressive team performance against Eastern Raiders. We last week failed to knock off the team currently in second place on the ladder, and instead this week we beat the top team for the second time!!

On Saturday our girls faced off against Glen Waverley in a match that would determine 2nd position on the ladder (for the moment anyway!). We went into the game only 2 points behind Glen Waverley, and were geared up ready to overtake them.

Unfortunately things didn't quite go according to plan. Our batting seemed to desert us until about the third inning and not everything went our way in the field. Whilst there are some things for us to work on that have come out of this game, it was good that there were some positives that should be recognised as well.

Glen Heights 13-1.

Anita pitched an excellent game, with multiple strikeouts. The rest of the team backed her up with some very tidy work in the field, resulting in no errors for the game.

The whole team demonstrated great discipline in the batting box, receiving many walks from a pitcher struggling to find the zone. When strikes were thrown, our girls made the most of their opportunities with some very good batting.
