Time to add a second post to this thread ... :eek:

South Africa Women tour of Ireland, 3rd ODI: Ireland Women v South Africa Women at Dublin (Malahide), Aug 9, 2016

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/962015.html

South Africa Women 193/1 (38.5 ov)
Ireland Women
South Africa Women won the toss and elected to bat

Laura Wolvaardt b McCarthy 105 (125b 14x4 0x6) SR: 84.00

192 runs for the first wicket. More just respectable! Trisha Chetty still at the crease.
 
South Africa Women 260/6 (50.0 ov)
Ireland Women 193 (45.0 ov)

SA Women
Laura Wolvaardt 105
Trisha Chetty 95

IRL Women
Isobel Joyce 57

Suné Luus 5/32

It is interesting to learn that Isobel Joyce of Ireland has 3 brothers and a twin sister who all play(ed) the game. Ed Joyce is probably the better known of the siblings, but her twin sister, Cecelia Joyce, has also had a fair career for Ireland.
