Mrs R Flanagan —

The Bates Cup qualifying tournament was held on Thursday 11 March at Bayfield Park. The Otago Girls' High School First XI won the first round against Waitaki Girls.

Grace Barnes was the Player of the Match scoring 21 runs and taking four wickets for six runs off three overs. Hannah Wilson, Beth O'Connor and Jemma Bezuidenhout took two wickets each contributing to a win by 41 Runs. We then had to face the current champions St Hildas. Player of the Match was Beth O'Connor with a five Wicket Bag for 11 runs off four overs. St Hildas will go on to play Wakatipu College in the Gillette Venus Cup Final next week.

Well done to all our team members on their contribution and thanks to our Super Coach / Umpire / Scorer and Supporter - Matt Parry. Thanks also to White Fern Suzie Bates who has been providing coaching while she is recuperating from her shoulder injury.
