TLC v Byfield (04/05/08)

Tows Ladies Cricket were on amazing form this Sunday in their second Midlands League game this season, with a winning draw against Byfield.  TLC racked up a massive 294 runs in their 40 overs after having been put in to bat by Byfield; the highlight of which being the record-breaking stand of 269 from Katie Taylor and Hannah Edwards (left).  Taylor broke her own personal best with 83, whilst Edwards hit an astounding 155, which as well being a new individual record for the ladies, is just short of the highest ever Towcestrians men’s score and the third highest ever in the ladies Midlands League.

After tea Byfield defended well against the opening attack of Jenny Williams and Emma Cummins, but it was the spinners who took the first wickets, with Katie Taylor taking 2-5 off 8 and Becky English taking 1-9 off 8.  Quick fielding from Anni Blackmore and keeper Gemma English ran out Byfield’s Wren, and Williams came back on to take 2-3 off 8 and finish the match, with Byfield on 49 runs for 6. 

TLC is away next Saturday against Brackley in the Midlands League.
