Hook opened their new season with victory over Pembroke, who deserve every credit for pushing their rivals all the way before running out of wickets after they had looked well-placed.
 
Kate Farr and Tia Rees both achieved the retirement score to get Hook off to a flier but Pembroke stopped the other Hook batters from running away with things as Sam Rossiter came in late to manage a few runs but running out of time against tight bowling from Bobby Neale and Chloe Jones.

But Tish struggled with the bat, other than Cath Orton, who looked a class act as she took Tish close but ran out of time with the evening’s top score. Tish were also helped by 21 extras but there was a wicket each for Katy, Abi and Martha as they helped The Dock to their second success.
