MAREEBA’S Firth Park played host to the first social games of the Lacy Bra Cup on Mother’s Day with women from across the Tablelands packing out the park.
This Lacy Bra Cup season introduces two new teams travelling from Mt Garnet to play, the Mount Garnet Eagles and Mt Garnet Hawkes. Both of these new teams got the chance to stretch their legs as they played against two resident Mareeba teams, Maiden Overs and Cricket Chicks.
In game one, Maiden Overs defeated the Mt Garnet Hawks by 28 runs after posting 124, opening pair Karri and Janelle put on a dominating partnership of 55 runs. Game two saw the Mt Garnet Eagles redeem their sister team, beating Cricket Chicks in a nailbiting finish.
The scores were tight with just two overs to go and Cricket Chicks needed 11 runs to take the win, keeping in mind that each lost wicket means -5 runs. Patty Brown kept the Cricket Chicks tied up, finishing her over with 1/-2, the Cricket Chicks managed to catch up and secure the remaining 11 runs, however another wicket in Madelyn’s last over secured the win for Garnet.
