Moreton Mavericks amazingly reached their 3rd consecutive Vitality regional club T20 plate final last weekend and made the trip to picturesque Winsley CC near Bradford on Avon, with a place in a national semi final at stake.
In 2021 they lost at home, to a strong Mildenhall team, but put that experience to good use last year, when they hosted & defeated Five Ways Old Edwardians in a tight match.
This year the away day to Wiltshire proved to be no hurdle and a comfortable 107 run victory ensued. Ellie Ingram starred with the bat and her 76 from 71 was part of a superb 124 run opening partnership with Carla Wood, underpinning Moreton’s impressive 145.-1. Winsley were always on the back foot and with wickets shared, amongst 5 of the bowlers, the visitors were able to nip in to The Seven Stars in Winsley and celebrate, with nearly 5 overs to spare.
North Londoner’s, Hampstead CC await, on August 6th, at Basingstoke & North Hampshire CC.
