Tarka U11 softball team (pictured below) emulated their
U13 team and won the Devon region of the Lady Taverners softball competition,
qualifying them to go on to Frenchay in Bristol for 
the West Regionals in July.
They all played very well as a team. In a lovely competition, played in great spirit
and organised by Matt Cooke, Tarka U11’s scored 272 for 2 to Topsham’s 234 for
5 in the first game and they beat Paignton 308 for 1 to 219 for 4.
bsent, having scored centuries in the first two matches, it was time for
others to step up to the mark. They did so in fine style. Classy batting by Ellie
Holland, Morgan Harrison-Hooton, Lauren Bowden and a fantastic first fifty,
then century from Carmen Clements sealed the fate of Sandford leaving them with
far too big a total to chase. Ana Clements, mother of Carmen (pictured below) sealed a great
family day by taking a wicket!
Wednesday evening was a quite historic night for the U15 Tarka girls. They beat the reigning National Lady Taverner's U15 Hardball 20/20 Champions Newport in a nail biting match at North Devon CC.
The
Tarka girls lost the toss. They bowled well for most of the game. Ellie Holland
clean bowling danger player Jessica Thornton for 9 and Rose Ball bowling Sophie
Osborne
on 29. The girls fielded superbly and held a very strong and
confident Welsh side to a reasonable score until a few expensive overs at
the end saw the visitors score rise from 98 at the end of the 17th over to 141
at the end of the 20th over. Newport's Charlotte Scarborough was the
pick of the Welsh batswomen scoring 58 NO. The Tarka Girls came out fighting
and with quite a total to chase, Eluned Davies opened bravely scoring a few
quick runs to get Tarka off to a positive start before she was bowled by C.
Scarborough. Daisy Meadowcroft scored a fantastic 53 running hard and taking
chances, before being narrowly run out. Carmen Clements again
attacked the ball, taking quick singles and keeping the team on the
run rate. Rose Ball stepped in. Tarka needed 16 off the last two overs and
then only 2 to win off the last over. It took 4 incredibly tense
balls to get there. When Rose Ball finally edged the 5th ball of the
final over for 4 the team went mad.
Tarka U15 now meet Charlbury or Aldershot in the Zone final and if successful there would play in the National Final at Grantham in Lincolnshire on the 29th July.
