MPCA WOMENS

THE inaugural MPCA Senior Women’s competition got underway last month, providing a new platform for athletes to showcase their talents.

Pines scored a good win on Sunday, taking the points against Tootgarook.

After winning the coin toss Tootgarook elected to bat. They got off to a good start, with their opening batters combining for 40 runs. Some middle order struggles saw them finish their innings at 5/76.

Boneo batted first. They scored 147, with opener Caolan O’Connor top scoring (49).
