Caroline Springs’ run in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association women’s competition came to a shock end in the semi finals.
Going for a third straight premiership, the Falcons had been flying heading into finals and went through the regular season undefeated.
On Sunday, that meant little as Aberfeldie produced a stunning performance to upset the Falcons.
Aberfeldie won the toss and decided to bat.
It managed to produce 7-89 from their overs with Molly McVeigh top scoring with 24.
Mariam Hussain took 4-15 off her four overs for the Falcons.
It was a score that on paper, looked like one that the Falcons could chase down but there was rain floating around.
Abers got off to a flier with the ball and had the Falcons in trouble at 4-15.
Among those back in the shed was star bat Caitlin Pretty.
The Falcons set about trying to rescue the innings and managed to get to 4-31 to give themselves some slight hope.
The loss of three quick wickets ended that with the Falcons eventually finishing 9-52 of their 20 overs.
My Yen Au top scored with 26 at the top of the order, but was the only bat to reach double figures.
It’s the first time in five seasons that Caroline Springs will not be in the grand final.
Aberfeldie will face Maribyrnong Park St Marys in the grand final.
The Lions beat Glenroy in the other semi final.
Glenroy made 5-76 from its overs with the Lions finishing 6-77 in 17 overs.
The grand final will be held on Sunday.
