The Roar finished the Women’s National Cricket League winless in six games after a 86-run loss to the ACT.
It capped off a disastrous year for the state’s two sides.
The Hurricanes had tasted victory just once in 14 games.
Tasmania were bundled out for 160 chasing down 234 at Kingborough Twin Ovals.
Stand-in captain Isobel Joyce took 5-24 off the Irish veteran’s four overs.
Corrinne Hall scored unbeaten 60 and Georgia Redmayne added 34 in the loss.
But Tasmania secured a thrilling two-wicket win over Northern Territory to finish in ninth place at the national under-15 championships.
Riverside quick Sam Artis grabbed 3-38 in restricting the Territorians to 9-173.
New Town’s Sam Wright made 59 and North Hobart’s Nick Davis struck 45 in their 92-run second wicket stand.
Tasmania still needed two more runs when Artis arrived and hit a boundary off his second ball in the 49th over.

The day I realised I wasn't good enough to play for St Kilda or be the No.1 spinner for Australia was when I realised journalism was the closest I could come to follow my passion for sport. And it's not just about the scores for me. It's the back story behind the game.
