The Rebels travelled to Oakmere for the last game of the season on Sunday.
Losing the toss ๐ช (but whatโs new there ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ) they were asked to bowl.
Izzi & Nic bowled the 1st 6 overs with Izzi taking a wicket in the 3rd by bowling out the batter. Unfortunately, we lost Chelle here early on with an injury to her heal. She was forced to retire for the rest of the game ๐ฅบ. The next 7 overs saw Sarah & Jamie come into the attack which saw 7 wickets fall in this spell. Jamie taking 2, the first was caught by Nicola & the 2nd lbw. Sarah took the other 5 wickets in a spell which she didnโt have a run scored against her & she nearly took a hat-trick in the 13th over๐๐ผ. Absolutely superb bowling! finishing with figures of 1/5 off 5 overs with 4 wicket maidens!! Andie & Jenny bowled overs 14 to 19. Jenny taking a wicket in the 17th with a brilliant spinning ball! Then Nicole finishing off the innings in the 22nd over trapping the batter lbw. Final score 72 all out.
Onto the batting ๐ & with 30 overs to get 73, there was no need to panic or rush!
Andie & Sarah had an opening partnership of 16. Sarah hitting 2 4s in the 3rd over before getting out lbw in the 4th, scoring 10. Izzi came in 3rd and lasted 2 overs but was bowled out with the final ball of the 5th. Andie was then bowled with the first ball of the 6th over with the score on 24/3. Sam & Steph then put on a partnership of 38. Both playing the ball well & scoring 6 4s. Sam was bowled in the 11th over scoring 10. Nic then came in with Runcorn needing 11 to win the game. Which they did within 4 overs.
Final score of 73/4. With Steph finishing on 22.
This win meant the Rebels finished on a high & confirmed a 2nd place finish in the league ๐.
