Ella's first cricket season has come to an end. What a season, what a learning curve! They all improved so much over the summer and had lots of fun doing so. On their final match, their coach Zoe Cooke, a former member of the ACT Meteors, playing in the Australian Women's Twenty20 Cup (the precursor to the WBBL), presented each girl with a bag. Inside was a cricket shirt from Zoe's or her good friend Sam Bates playing days. Ella and Mia received a Sydney Thunder shirt signed by Sam Bates! They were both extremely happy. Ella wore the shirt non stop for the next few weeks!!
Next came the Western District Cricket presentation day, where it was revealed that the girls made history! It was the first time in the club's 28 year history that a junior all girls team competed in an all girls competition. Each girl was presented a team medallion. Ella scooped up the Best Bowler for her team too.
Then it was off to school where Andy watched Ella's class assembly. She read out her limerick.
Also during this assembly, the swimming ribbons were handed out and Ella placed 2nd in the 10yrs 50m freestyle. Her time qualified her to compete in the next round 'the zones.' The competition was much tougher at zones. Ella did her best, swam fast (in her words) and was happy with her swim with Nana watching on. Her time of 51s for the 50m placed her 26th (out of ~45). Well done Ella!
