BDCAW 2023: Donnybrook and Colts impress during busy day of T20 action

Donnybrook’s reputation as the best team in the BDCA women’s first grade competition received another tick of approval on Sunday, after extending their undefeated start to the season. The Dons, led superbly by Amber Boyd, Stephanie Jolly and Lisa Smith, won T20 matches against Marist and Leschenault respectively. Sent in to bat against the Green Caps, Donnybrook made 5-111 off their allocated 20 overs, with Jolly smashing an unbeaten 68 off 48 balls. Hollie Perkin was the pick of the Leschenault bowlers, collecting 2-18 off four overs. In reply, the Green Caps finished three runs short, on 4-108. Earlier in the afternoon, Colts youngster Addison Hall tore Dalyellup apart, snaring 3-6 off four overs in her side’s eight-wicket win at Hay Park. In second grade, Harvey-Benger’s unbeaten start to BDCA women’s life came to an end, after Eaton defeated them by eight wickets at the Harvey Recreation Ground.
