Ipswich (184-4) v Battisford (62)

Battisford went out to field with a good feeling after Ipswich had been defeated for the first time in the league during their previous match. Considering the experience and depth of the Ipswich team, the ladies fielded well keeping Ipswich to a score that Battisford knew they could challenge playing at their best.

However, during Battisford's batting innings, the strength of the Ipswich bowlers proved to be too much and wickets started to fall in quick succession. The likes of Deborah and Linzi started to show the true strength of the Battisford Batters but, unfortunately, no-one could get settled at the crease. Battisford were all out for 62 and although they showed glimpses of excellent team play, Ipswich worked for and deserved the win.

Battisford (105) v Woodbridge (106-7)

Battisford went in to bat first and, despite the opposition's bowling leaving much to be desired, put a defendable score on the board.

After the lunch break, Battisford went out on to the pitch with a postive mind and set an attacking field. The team put up a tough fight but when a Woodbridge batting pair got settled at the crease the game started to slip through Battisford's fingers. During the dying overs, Woodbridge crept into the lead making what would be a frustrating loss for Battisford.
