After a heavy defeat of 107 runs against the RAF team on Saturday, Twickenham ladies faced Hursley Park at home in the return league match.

Twickenham won the toss and put the visitors into bat, who started well by putting on 45 for the first wicket.

However when Janet Greenhead joined the bowling attack, she showed no mercy as she gathered an impressive 5-10 from her nine overs.

With Randika Galhenage scooping 3-25 from 8.5 overs, the visitors flounder to 102 all out in 36.5 overs.

In reply, it took Twickenham just 19 overs to gather the required runs.

Marina Steel (57 not out) led Twickenham to a nine-wicket win with Kat Dickens making 19 not out and Galhenage 12.

Gemma Green was the wicket taker for Hursley Park.

Twickenham look to consolatidate their top-half position when they host Kent-side Holmesdale at The Green on Sunday.
