Double Win For H&D Ladies
Hythe & Dibden Ladies returned to action on Sunday in the Gang Warily Tournament and come away with two wins ~ Paultons by 17 runs and in an exciting finish Hursley Park by 2 runs.
In their opener vs Paultons two crucial partnerships set them up for a total of 238 for 4. Sue & Debs put on an opening partnership or 18 then 3rd pairing Dawn & Kate added a further 22.
The inexperienced Paultons side were finding it tough against a good Hythe bowling and fielding display and lost wickets in the 2nd & 3rd over to Pam & Debs. Then two further wickets fell in Wai's 6th over inc a run out.
Paultons rallied at the end with 15 coming off the final 2 overs to finish 17 runs short.
