THE Glasshouse Cricket Club Tier 2 Women’s team finished the year in second place and aims for a grand final in 2025 to cap off a successful season.
The squad played their final game of the year on Sunday, December 8, and beat USC 2/81 to 7/79 with a little more than six overs left of the match.
Glasshouse’s next game in the new year will be against the Caloundra Lighthouses on January 12, allowing the girls a few weeks break. Team coach, Davina Stokes, said she was pleased with the team’s improvements this year. “Everyone has improved so much from the start of the season,” she said.
“I think their personal goals they set at the start of the season has definitely contributed to their growth. “Spud (Katherine), she’s the runout queen we call her, she wanted to get her own run out this season and now she’s got three or four I think, she’s done really well. “They are really working on their goals.”
Tewantin Noosa sit on the top of the ladder, and remain undefeated making them the team to beat. Glasshouse has only lost to Tewantin Noosa this season, and are keen to get a win over them.
“They’ve got some big batsman, so they hit bigger than us so we are just working on our fielding, so when the big batters are in we keep the fielders out,” Davina said.
“We’re really working hard on our fielding and when we’re batting looking for those gaps to make the runs.” Davina said she is quietly confident the team will make finals, but said she is keeping everything crossed. kirra@gcnews.com.au
