Victoria RificiWeekend Kwinana Courier

ROCKINGHAM-Mandurah District Cricket Club’s (RMDCC) women played one woman down last Sunday and still managed to take down the University B Grade team at James Oval in Nedlands.

The women’s B Grade team, aged 15 to 50 years old, shone with both bat and ball and with some outstanding teamwork.

Fielding first, all bowlers managed to take at least one wicket each dismissing University in less than the allowed 40 overs for a total of 136.
