SANDRA - JUST SUPERB WITH THE BAT
         
      
Sandra Verschoor has set a piece of Moonee Valley history, becoming the first player from our Women's teams to score 1000 runs.
Above : Sandra Verschoor's 1000 runs for Moonee Valley: L-R Kylie Russo, Yasmin King, Sarah Fenn, Sandra Verschoor, Fiona Bathie, coach Darren Nagle, Maddie Dutton Johnson and Mackayla Coote.
Sandra brought up the significant milestone in our last pre-finals game playing at home on March 1, with a well-crafted 16 not out. It was also Sandra's 49th game, so another milestone awaits in the first week of the finals.
She has scored 58 runs from seven games this season for once out, after retiring at the start of the season with the rider that she would only consider playing if there were any games we were short.
We won the March 1 game against Youlden Parkville 3/134 to 5/115, and Sandra got the second innings off to a great start with a fine catch in the second over.
She has been a consistent run-scorer throughout her career, and her average at the start of this season was 67.57. When you throw in Sandra's 28 wickets @ 16.71 it's been quite a career.
Next in line in our Women's cricket run tally is current player Yasmin King with 843, so hopefully we've got another milestone not too far away - it would be wonderful if Yas got there during the finals series.
Next after that are Samantha Marr with 593, Katherine Baker with 531 and Natalie Demarte with 416.
And Sandra's not the only member of her family to feature in the Moonee Valley Wisden - husband Howard Norsetter played six games, and son Joshua Norsetter is one of a select group to have notched up the Triple Crown at the Valley - 1000 runs, 100 games and 100 wickets.
