Moscript represents Victoria

IT was a week filled with heat at the Under 18 Female Cricket National Championships, both in the atmosphere and on the pitch.

Spin it up: Leongatha South’s Chelsea Moscript fires in a delivery against Western Australia during the Under 18 Female Cricket National Championships.

Leongatha South’s Chelsea Moscript was right in the thick of it representing the state in the competition in Ballarat.
“It was a lot of fun and all the games were played at a really high standard,” she said.
“I wouldn’t say any of the games were easy because some of the sides this year packed some really good bowlers and because of the hot weather it didn’t help the conditions.”
The teenager started the competition with a match against New South Wales where Victoria came out on top by one wicket.
Eight overs in match number two against Western Australia saw the leg spinner take 2/20 in a high scoring match to help secure a win.
Wins kept coming for Victoria over ACT, Tasmania and the Auckland Schoolgirls and a 2/4 effort for Moscript against Queensland again helped in a win.
A close loss to South Australia came before the grand final against old rivals New South Wales.
Unfortunately the NSW chase was too strong and their bats reached the target with two wickets in hand to be named champions.
Despite losing to them in the ultimate game Moscript said her team’s matches with NSW were the highlight.
“I think beating New South in the first game in a really close match was a stand out,” she said.
“And even in the final, we only needed two wickets and had them right at the end but we just couldn’t get there, but it was a really good match.”
Moscript may be showing her skills off to some of Australia’s best female cricketers taking up the chance to bowl to the Australian side – the Southern Stars.
The teenager is excited but not too nervous about the opportunity.
“I’m not too nervous,” she laughed.
“I am prepared to get knocked around a bit.”
Other highlights on Moscript’s calendar include representing Gippsland in the Victorian Championship grand final at the MCG and she is also hopeful of some training with Victoria Spirit in between her club duties at Dandenong.
Moscript is also looking towards the Gippsland Girls Cricket Carnival that is coming up in April which is a great way to get into the sport for females.
