May Single Sex Spring Ball


On Sunday 2 May, twelve Bristol women drove to Richmond to play in the first single sex tournament of the season. The Bristol Bluebirds were:

Mandy Lewis, Sarah Pritchard-Williams, Jo Stretton, Amy Yehling, Robyn Belt, Yuki Ono, Tara Dunningham, Amanda Summers , Emma Lattimore, Sarah Pattenden, Tara Welsh and Helen Vintiner.

The Bluebirds started off the day well, with a 13-3 win against the feisty local team, Raidhers. Captained by Mandy Lewis, the Bluebirds romped to their victory, aided by Jo Strettons massive hit, resulting in the teams first home run of the day. Pitcher Tara Dunningham held her own, striking out a couple of Raidhers.

The second game of the day saw Amy Yehling and Sarah Pritchard-Williams hit home runs, but despite this and some dramatic catches from Sarah Pritchard-Williams in outfield, the team lost 4-16 to the Madcows, who went on to win the group.

Bluebirds faced the Firebirds in their third match losing a respectable 5-8. Amanda Summers performance shone on second base, getting all the outs in one inning.

The fourth match saw Bluebirds lose 3-10, a close match against Get Your Hits Out. Robyn Belt was kept active, catching some big hits in leftfield, as was Amy Yehling on third. A disappointing result for a tightly GB player-laden fought match by the Bluebirds.
