Lamma CC Women’s team clinched the title in the inaugural Hong Kong Women’s League with a convincing win over KCC. It was a huge effort on a hot afternoon by all the players, several of whom had never played cricket before September 2004.

KCC Women’s team before the match
Emma opens the batting with Neisha
Sam is lucky not to edge one to the keeper
Walter keeps the wicketkeeper on her toes
...and doesn’t survive long
Sarah Eames bowls well for KCC
Kylie joins Neisha at the crease...
...and plays a superb supporting knock
Kay, Walter and Betty look on anxiously as the innings unfolds
Mark knows how to stay cool
But it’s Neisha who is the star of the show
After a patient beginning and surviving a few scares, she starts to take the bowling apart
The ball disappears to all parts of the ground...
...as the runs pile up
As the innings draws to a close the scoreboard is looking very healthy
Kylie and Neisha at the end of the LCC innings and a terrific 126-run partnership; Neisha falling just two runs short of her 150, and Kylie with a solid 27
