NDCC Yearbook 2025 - Flipbook - Page 51
Of course, much credit must go to our Captain Lauren. She has had a solid season with the bat
and is exceptionally hard working and positive in the field, a fantastic role model who leads by
example. Rather than chasing every point she sees the bigger picture and she gives every player
an opportunity to participate and develop, especially enabling our junior players to flourish. I must
also thank Matt Dart and Andrew Cameron for the joy that is playing on the Instow pitch. We get
so many complimentary comments from opposing sides. Also, Merv for his coaching and
wisdom throughout the season. Thank you.
The season has just now drawn to a close and we have had some fantastic moments. I shall
mention a few.
Gee Lilii - an amazing 562 runs in 8 matches, Issie Ollis (U15) – 110 runs NO against Plymouth,
Ruby Davis 101 NO against Cornwood, Rose Ball 105 NO at Plymouth, Milly Squire 56 runs
against Exeter and 54 NO against Paignton, Flora Corbin 6 wickets and a catch against
Cornwood, Olivia Kingdom 4 wickets and a catch at Plymouth, Megan Zeleniewicz (U14) 3 for 14
against Hatherleigh, Milly Squire 3 wickets and Gee Lilii 4 wickets against Cornwood, a run out
and caught and bowled for Rebecca Savory (U15) against Paignton. The list could go on.
Outside Devon the ladies continue to cheer on our NDCC Tarka Ladies members and Lauren and
Kate travelled to Lords to watch our very own Ruby Davis captain and lead Loughborough
University to victory over Exeter University in the University Final.
Unfortunately, the DWCL were not able to accommodate us in the 2025 Indoor League this year.
This was particularly unfortunate as we were reigning champions! The disappointment of this was
slightly offset by the amazing news that no less than three of our younger Tarka Ladies were
selected to travel to Sri Lanka with the Devon U15 Ladies – well done Issie, Rebecca and Megan.
