The inaugural Gunnedah-based Twilight Women\u2019s Social Smash cricket season concluded at Donnelly Fields last Friday night, with the Namoi Ninjas finishing undefeated.<\/p>\n

The Gwydir Girls and Mooki Maidens faced off, before the first-placed Ninjas opposed the second-placed Peel Power to decide which team finished on top.<\/p>\n

Gwydir batted first in the opening fixture, and tallied 96 runs before Mooki bettered it by 10 runs.<\/p>\n

Maree Lawrence claimed two wickets for Mooki, before her teammate Tania Ruttley earned player-of-the-match honours for her 21 in the run chase.<\/p>\n

Gwydir\u2019s Heidi Knight also bagged two wickets.<\/p>\n

Peel Power\u2019s total of 88 proved too small in the second game, as the Ninjas replied with 146.<\/p>\n

Jess Small stood out for the premiers with three wickets and 31 runs, while Tiah Small grabbed two scalps.<\/p>\n

Peel Power\u2019s Katrina Leven finished the four-week season with the most runs (95), while Namoi\u2019s Tara Small was the leading wicket-taker (five).<\/p>\n

With the players having had plenty of fun and enjoyment on each of the four nights, a similar series is already planned for April.\"\"\/<\/p>\n
