The Lady Llamas continued their winning streak in fine form with a commanding home victory against Dorking, as Reigate opted to bowl first after winning the toss – sticking to their tried-and-true philosophy: why set a target when you can chase one down?
The match saw two fresh faces make their debuts: Emily Wordley and Shalini Kumari, both of whom settled in with style. Between impressive batting strokes and sharp fielding, they fit in like they’d been playing with the Llamas for years – minus the hay.
Reigate’s fielding strategy was as aggressive as a llama on espresso, and it paid off. The bowling attack, led by Kerry Doyle, was especially stingy. Kerry conceded just seven runs from three overs – which, in T20 terms, is practically wizardry. Meanwhile, Jessica continued her fielding masterclass, taking catches with the calm confidence of someone catching popcorn in their mouth.
When it was the Llamas’ turn with the bat, they didn’t just chase – they galloped. Each batting pair had clear targets, and all four partnerships delivered, scooping up those sweet, sweet batting points like a well-organised picnic. The team’s total surged to 295 runs, sealing the deal in style.
Star batter of the day was Sune Richardson, who scored a blazing 26 from just 17 balls, peppering the boundary with four fours. She batted like she was late for something…
Most importantly, this win was built on a great team effort from everyone. From the first over to the final run, every player contributed —whether with bat, ball, or in the field. It was teamwork at its finest, and the chemistry showed.
With just two games left and Reigate sitting pretty at the top of the leaderboard, the Lady Llamas are in prime position to finish strong. Keep it up, ladies — you’re nearly there, and the title's in sight!
