Cricket: Midland-Guildford claims back-to-back women’s 50-over titles

MIDLAND-Guildford has won back-to-back female A-grade 50-over competition premierships after defeating South Perth in yesterday’s grand final at Richardson Park.

The triumph completes a successful season for the Swans, who also lifted the Twenty20 title in February.

South Perth had finished as minor premiers in the 50-over competition but Midland-Guildford stepped up on the big stage.

The Swans also trumped South Perth in the Twenty20 decider in similar circumstances.

The triumph caps a strong year where Chloe Piparo, Bhavi Devchand and Taneale Peschel were the stars.
