Poloc women pipped down at Ayr [posted 11/09/16]

Nicole Hanlon reports on yesterday's T20 semi-final against George Watson's at New Cambusdoon.  Nicole writes, "Our skipper won the toss and elected to bat first, sending Ellen Watson and Abtaha Maqsood in to open the batting.  Both got off to a good start, putting on 28 runs in five overs, before Abtaha was caught at point for 20.  Despite Abtaha's dismissal, the side continued to bat well, with Ellen being the pick, scoring 30.  In our allotted overs a total of 71 for 4 was posted.  The second innings saw the side put in a big effort in the field, featuring some very good bowling [Ed: despite strong winds!]  However two George Watson's openers - Bryce (31*) and Henderson (24*) - would see off the bowling attack and reached their target of 72, in just 9 overs.  There were, however, some impressive bowling figures from Sam Bachari (2-0-5-0) and Abtaha (2-0-7-0), and the fielding, overall, was really good."
