The Hawke's Bay senior women's team have retained the Mike Shrimpton Trophy after an emphatic victory over Manawatu in Napier.

The Sophie Pyott-captained side won by four runs as the visitors tried in vain to chase down the Bay's total of 8-140 in 40 overs at Nelson Park on Sunday.

"They needed to win within the 33rd over for a better [net run rate] but they sort of collapsed," said Pyott after the Indigo-sponsored Bay side skittled Manawatu for 136 in 30.4 overs for the bragging rights to the annual Central Districts inter-district competition.

The 20-year-old HB Regional Hospital employee from Hastings had won the toss and elected to bat with No 5 Flora Devonshire top scoring with 25 runs.

However, it was former CD Hinds wicketkeeper Kelly Rangi who combined with medium pacer Aniela Apperley to help stifle Manawatu.

Rangi claimed 3-9 from 4.4 overs while Apperley got 3-35 from seven overs.
White Fern Hannah Rowe scored 37 runs for Manawatu and fellow Hinds player Mikaela Greig added 29 as the rest of the batsmen came and went for ducks or single-digit contributions.

Pyott, who has been playing in England for the past two winters and contemplates returning this year provided everything works out with immigration issues, said the Sean Davies-mentored Bay team had profited with a blend of experience and youth after competing with a predominantly young side last season.

The Bay thrashed Taranaki by 207 runs in their opening game on November 3. They beat Whanganui by 10 wickets on December 15 and Wairarapa by 113 runs on January 12.
