The second instalment of the Gunnedah twilight women\u2019s smash cricket series began under lights at Donnelly Fields last Friday night, following the first instalment in January.<\/p>\n

While the same four teams were in each instalment, last Friday featured some new faces while 42 players were registered following 40 in January.<\/p>\n

Having been unbeaten in January, the Namoi Ninjas maintained their winning form last Friday as they accounted for Peel Power.<\/p>\n

Olivia Semmler and Leslee Finnerty captured two wickets each for Peel Power, but the batting from the Ninjas proved too strong.<\/p>\n

Close friends Zoe Fleming and Marnee Walters produced a great partnership for the reigning premiers, with Zoe top-scoring with 34.<\/p>\n

Mooki Maidens defeated Gwydir Girls in the other match, with Chelsea Budden the standout with the bat for the victors as her 24 runs came from four sixes.<\/p>\n

Sally Keeler and Jodie Moore were the standout bowlers for Gwydir with two wickets apiece while Keeler also impressed with the bat.<\/p>\n

One of the event organisers, Meleah Walters, said it was a great turnout while it was nice to see everyone laughing and having fun.<\/p>\n

This Friday will feature more of a \u2018muck around\u2019 game due to the Gunnedah Show taking place, which will also result in the final night of the cricket schedule being pushed back to May 8.\"\"\/<\/p>\n
