The Imparja Cup 2021 finals took place on Friday 19 February and it came down to the last over in the grand final for the Central Desert Regional Council (CDRC) Laramba team who almost took out the title.
After playing six games through the rounds and then winning their semi-final, the Laramba team played in the Statewide Super Women’s Community Division Grand Final against the team Ladeez (Alice Springs). Central Desert batted first to make a total of 87. Simona Tilmouth top scored for the Laramba team with 30 runs (forced to retire) and took two wickets. But it was the consistent batting from the Ladeez team with four of the six batters making double figures which saw them take out the title. They won with just six balls to spare. The women displayed great integrity, humour and sense of fair play for the entirety of the competition, and represented the community of Laramba with great pride.
