As I type this, the girls, management, umpire, and supporters are on their way home from Christchurch. Huge thanks to our coaches Miss McLellan and Miss Reid — you’ve absolutely earned your holiday. Many thanks to Nat Harrex, our manager; your efforts this week have been truly appreciated.

Thank you to Ruby, Liv, and Punky for scoring and timekeeping.

To our families — as always, your support is really appreciated.

To our 11 girls: you played with heart, commitment, and passion. Enjoy your welldeserved break.

A huge thanks to Emily, our umpire — we cannot attend without you, and we are grateful.

We finished with 6 wins and 2 losses, placing 9th out of 32 teams.

Well done everyone
