Emily Iles and Dana Whatley cracked double figures while Mary Broadhurst and Haylee Humphries were economical.

Trevallyn ensured it wouldn't be a great day for Hadspen Red either, chasing down their total of 2-102 while losing no wickets.

Both Katie Broad (32) and Belinda Blackberry (20) retired opening, setting the tone for Trevallyn as Mel Denman (22) and Kate Dobber (20) made sure Hadspen's total was competitive.

Evandale's Belinda Prior continued her strong form as her side worked its way passed Bishopsbourne's score of 6-79 with help of Nicole Davey's all-round effort.

Opening the batting, Prior scored 23 to back up her score of 30 to lead her team while Bishopsbourne's Ebony Vocke (24 off 55) and Cassie Blair (21 off 15) played two contrasting innings in setting the total.
