Twickenham Ladies beat Rowledge by six wickets in their opening league game of the season last weekend.

It was a remarkable turnaround as Rowledge openers Winstone and Davies put on 137 for the first wicket before Janet Greenhead dismissed Winstone in the 27th over.

Captain Ann Baker's decisionto bring on the slower-paced Nan Haggerty paid off as she scooped 5-31 from her eight overs.

Even so, a total of 186 from 40 overs was a formidable target for Twickenham to reach.

Karen Wilton hit 72 off 71 balls for Twickenham sharing in good partnerships with Janet Greenhead and Denise Orford.

Orford and Helen Mills rapped up victory in the 36th over with six wickets in hand.

Twickenham visit Letchworth for their second South Division Two match next weekend.
