A BRILLLIANT 90 not out from Kingower opener Morgan Lonza has led his side to a thrilling win over Bridgewater Bulls in their two-day junior clash.
Chasing 125 for victory, Kingower slumped to 3-0 as Bulls bowler Connor Alexander cut a swathe through the top order.
Lonza and Riley Leach then carved out a 45-run partnership before Leach was bowled for an extraordinarily patient one run from 45 balls.
Wickets then tumbled again, with Kingower a perilous 7-53 before Matilda Rose (13 off 22 balls) joined Lonza to put on 42 runs.
When Abby Wilson was run out for one off 31 balls, the side was 9-100, and still requiring 25 to win.
No.11 Edmund Wilson helped Lonza past the Bulls’ total as Kingower batted on, ending on 162, with Wilson compiling 6 runs off 82 deliveries.
Alexander’s 3-17 off seven overs was the highlight for the Bulls’ bowling attack.
