Tauranga Intermediate will represent Northern Districts for the second consecutive year at the national girls' Top 6 Twenty20 championships in Christchurch in November.
Yesterday Tauranga Intermediate hosted Reremoana School from Counties Manukau in the New Zealand Post Shield Northern Districts final and won the match sponsored by Scrapman by a convincing seven-wicket margin.
The visitors batted first and were quietly confident of making a good score but they came up against an inspired bowling spell from Emma Bettelheim, who took 4/3 off her four overs. Reremoana were bowled out for 61 in the 20th over of their innings.
Tauranga made no race of chasing down the target, making 62-3 with Eve Simmonds on 23 not out and Sophia Rose 21.
