BOP Junior Girls at Kaipara Flats Tournament Undefeated After Day One The BOP Junior Secondary Girls Team went through day one of the Kaipara Flats Tournament undefeated. With rain threatening tomorrow it was decided to compress the format to 14 over games so that the round robin stage could be completed. BOP Captain Macys Adams won the toss the the first game against Hamilton and elected to bowl. Brianna Perry and Macys opened up with the ball and bowled their allotted two overs straight through. Macy struck with the first ball of her spell and finished with 1-1, Brianna bowled tightly without reward. Nensi, Taneika and Holly continued to apply the pressure with the ball. Taneika and Holly were both rewarded with a wicket apiece finishing with 1-10 and 1-4 off their two. It was Catherine who was the main destroyer in the end taking 3-8 off her two overs and helping to see Hamilton dismissed for 42. In reply BOP opened with Holly and Brianna. They lost Holly early when she played a ball on to her stumps. Macys and Brianna then put together a 34 run partnership to get the team almost home. Brianna retired at 12* and allowed Jahla 1* to finish the game alongside Macy 14*. Macys luck with the toss continued in game two versus Northland. The decision to bowl first brought immediate rewards. Greer stiking in the first over with her accurate bowling removing the middle stump, she finished with 1-2. Nensi also struck in her first over removing the other opener before more runs were added, her final figures were 1-4. Macy and Taneika ripped through Northlands middle order, both taking two wickets apiece. Macy 2-1 and Taneika 2-5. Catherine mopped up the tail taking her fourth wicket of the tournament, like Greer she finished with 1-2. Northland were bowled out for 28. Nensi and Jahla opened and got the team off to a great start with a solid 22 run partnership. Both then retired. Taneika and Hanna took up the reins at that point. Taneika unfortunately was caught and backward square leg trying to finished the game quickly. Hanna 1* and Greer 12* saw the team through to the win and batted on for a few overs. Catherine 2* and Holly 1* also had some time at the crease. Game three was against the other undefeated team in the tournament, a combined Counties/Waikato Valley side. By mutual agreement the game was played as a T20 with each bowler have a maximum of 3 overs. Macy won her third toss of the day and elected to bat. Holly 12* and Brianna 9* batted without risk for 10 overs and had and impressive 34 run partnership. They then retired and Macy 25* and Nensi 4 put the foot down. Nensi was caught at backward square leg when she tried to pull a leg side delivery to the boundary. Hanna 0 was also caught trying to gather quick runs. Taneika 12* and Macy batted until the 19th over when Macy retired, Catherine 1* finished the innings with Taneika. 97-2 would be a challenging total for the Counties-Valley side to chase. BOP continued to bowl the tight line and length they had been throughtout the tournament so far. Wickets at regular intervals thwarted any chance of the combine team securing a win. Greer 2-5, Catherine 2-5 and Taneika 2-13 were the wicket takers, along with two sharp run outs by Jahla and Taneika. At the end of their 20 overs the Counties-Valley side were 67-8. The format for day two will be decided once we find out what the weather decides to do. Monday Rained off.
