Cats make it three straight wins

Geelong’s Premier Women’s Firsts have continued their winning ways since the bye, cruising to victory over Prahran at Toorak Park on Sunday.

The win makes it three in a row for the Cats, putting them atop the ladder of the one day competition.

Due to the wet weather on Sunday, the match was conducted under DLS rules.

Geelong were sent in to bat by the True Blues and faced 39 overs, finishing at an impressive 8/236 thanks to 61 runs from Bronte Leishman and 50 from Mia Rogers.

The DLS format gave Prahran a target of 138 from 23 overs, which the Cats successfully defended off the back of an even bowling spread. They finished their innings at 4/106, 130 runs shy of the Cats’ strong total.

Jess Field took two wickets in the win, whilst skipper Stephanie Townsend and Bronte Leishman added one each.

The Seconds also beat the True Blues to improve to 6-2, thanks to an unbeaten 66 from Eve Righetti and three wickets apiece from captain Renee Cox and April Chaudhary.

In the Thirds, the Cats cruised to a win after openers Eloise Millard and Aisha Hendriks made unbeaten half-centuries. Geelong batted first and finished at 0/123, before restricting Prahran to just 1/45 after 17 overs.

The Firsts will play Box Hill at home this weekend in their last one-day clash of the year, whilst the Seconds and Thirds will face Dandenong.
