Reigning champs Donnybrook notch easy win over Leschenault

Donnybrook cruised to an eight-wicket win over Leschenault in Sunday’s BDCA women’s clash at Egan Park. Played under gloomy skies — and peppered with heavy showers during their pursuit of 38 — Ashleigh Towers (19 not out) and Lisa Worsfold (5 not out) ensured the hosts secured victory in nine overs. Earlier, everything Donnybrook touched turned to gold, with the Green Caps decimated for 37. In one of the most unified bowling displays this season, the following bowlers led from the front: Brodie Stewart (2-2 off three overs, one maiden), Summer Towers (1-0 off two overs, two maidens), Lisa Smith (1-1 off one over), Amiee Licciardello (2-3 off one over), Ashleigh Towers (1-2 off one over) and Bronwyn Hendry (1-0 from one delivery). At Forrest Park, an inspired innings from Gabrielle House (59 off 52 balls) propelled Marist to a comfortable 126-run win over Eaton, while Colts held all the answers against Hay Park during their 10-wicket triumph.
