Cricket North women's: Launceston, Riverside play out a tie

Chasing 126, the Lions entered the final over at 5-121 and took five off Manix-Geeves' first four balls to tie the scores.

But a dot ball and a last-ball stumping from Maxine Woods ensured the points would be shared.

Earlier, Manix-Geeves had top-scored for the Blues with 39 off 35 before hitting a return catch to Mary Broadhurst (3-15 off four).

Sophie Parkin (19) and Alysha Jackson (18) both made valuable contributions while Lion Claire Alexander registered her first two-wicket haul of the season.

In reply, Launceston made it to 1-100 in before Ianthe Boden (51) and Victoria Geale (33) both departed in the 15^th over.

Jade Devlin (10 not out off nine) played a crucial role at the end but could not get back on strike in the final over.

The Blues inflicted three run-outs with Parkin, Manix-Geeves and Jackson all finishing with a wicket each.
