Tier 1 Women make semis for a second year
The Caboolture Sports Cricket Tier 1 Women’s team are on track to snagging a second consecutive grand final win this year after making the semi finals.
Team coach, Jayden Coffin, is confident as long as the team stays strong, they could make it all the way to the grand final.
“They lost not last week but the week before for the first time in a while, but it’s always good to have a loss before finals begin,” he said.
“If we play well in the semis I believe we will be there, but we really just have to make sure we play well.”
Jayden added training is the most important thing to ensure a successful finals campaign for the ladies.
“They’re training good, that loss was good because it kicked them into another gear, they are training hard,” he said.
“The one percenters are big for us, our recent loss against Caloundra we didn’t do them very well, they did it better.
“Sometimes in the semis you can overthink it and make it out to be what it’s not, whereas it’s really just another game of cricket, and they need to take it the same as every other game.”
Coach Coffin said they are missing a few girls from the team, due to being selected for the Queensland Vet side.
“Our captain Amy Baker and our spinner Lex Turner were both selected into this representative side,” he said.
“Lex played in the last season but this is Amy’s first time being selected which is really good.
“It’s good to see the hard work, they’ve been trying to train really hard so it’s a new group of girls, especially this year losing probably five of our players from the team last year,” he said.
“Good to see it paying off for them.”
Jayden said he was happy to see how successful the ladies have been this year, especially after having a few new players in the squad this season.
“It’s good making semis two years in a row with... To back it up and make semis again, it’s good to see.”
Caloundra, Cooroy, Eumundi, and Coolum also made it to the semi-finals.
