Senior Girls Cricket
Recently our senior girls played the SSV State Cricket Quarter Finals after qualifying by winning the SSV Greater Western tournament.
We took a short bus trip to Geelong to come up against Strathmore SC. Trinity won the toss and decided to bowl first to see what the opposition had to offer before we started the run chase.
Unfortunately for us they had a lot to offer, featuring former and current state players!! Despite this our girls stuck to the task for the whole 20 overs and never gave up even though every bad ball was being sent to the boundary.
We got a run out and Holly Unwin bowled their opening batter to get the score to 2-229. Next it was our turn to bat and Matilda McCullagh and Jasmine Dunlop took it upon themselves to start the run chase and did it exceptionally well getting 19 runs off the first over and being 0-42 after 6. From there we lost our way and were bowled out for 54, but what a great effort it was to get this far in the first year of contesting this tournament as a school.
