The Central Districts under-19 women's team, including expat Whanganui player Charlotte Stent, continued its strong record at the Gillette Venus NZC National Tournament with another title win.
Their second championship in three seasons, CD won four of five 50-over games and their sole Twenty20 match, along with securing four bonus points, to finish well on top of the table at Lincoln University's Bert Sutcliffe Oval last week.
Auckland U19 were runners-up in a reversal of the 1-2 placings from last season.
