Bready Ladies claim cup after impressive final win

Wilkinson hit three fours in her vital innings which helped Bready post 78 in front of a large crowd at a sun drenched Burndennett.

She was given good support by Kara Scanlon who made an important 11.

Toni Miller (3-20), Julie Logue (2-16), and Elaine Neely (2-21) were the pick of the Foxies attack.

Julie Logue (15) got Fox Lodge off to a breezy start, but the dismissal of her and Emma Sproule saw a batting collapse which saw them dismissed for 38.

Kellie-Ann Carlin picked up four wickets for 20, while Bready skipper Jemma Rankin was also among the wickets, taking three for six.

Presenting the trophy, North West Warriors coach Bobby Rao paid tribute to Burndennett for their excellent hosting of the final.

He also pressed development officer Brian Allen for his tireless efforts in promoting the ladies game throughout the region.
