Staffs Women beat MCC

Staffordshire Women gave a fantastic account of themselves at Meir Heath’s Willow Lane, on Thursday 29 May, with an emphatic win over a visiting MCC XI.

 

The MCC, captained by the Wales captain Sarah Ginn and featuring ex-England player Sue Redfern and Staffordshire’s own Helen Pack, chose to bat first on a damp pitch and soon found the impressive bowling of the Staffs team hard to get away. Meir Heath Ladies trio of Frankie James, Catherine Whyle and Elsa Evans all took two wickets, whilst Sue Redfern’s 40 and 25 from Louisa Hayes helped the MCC declare at 126 for 9.

 

The Staffordshire reply was aggressive with an opening stand of 90 from Danielle Wyatt and captain Georgia Elwiss, both players getting into the forties before Frankie James and Charlotte Whyle (both 16 not out) saw Staff through to an 8-wicket victory.

 

The victory was a fitting tribute to Maggie Leath who was presented with gifts after the game to mark her 30 year involvement with women’s cricket in Staffordshire and the west Midlands.
Bowl on Sunday 8^th June in the LV Women’s  County Championship.
