South-west teenager Milly Illingworth snares four wickets on Victorian debut

The 17-year-old from Port Campbell was excellent in her maiden match against Western Australia in the Women's National Cricket League with her raw pace and energy, snaring 4-41 to break the game open.

She came on in the 28^th over of the Western Australian innings after the Victorians scored 9-259 and with immediate impact, picking up a wicket in her first over with her pace forcing Mathilda Carmichael into an errant stroke.

The Emmanuel College Warrnambool student, labelled the 'Port Campbell Express' by commentators, picked up second and third wickets in her third and fifth over, with Charis Bekker and Poppy Stockwell both chopping on to the stumps.

In her second and final spell, Illingworth wrapped up the game with the last wicket of the match.

The Heytesbury Rebels, Essendon Maribyrnong Park and Australian under 19 cricketer received Victorian cap number 258 from Australian and Victorian quick Tayla Vlaeminck before the game.

Vlaeminck spoke glowingly of her talent in the cap presentation.

"I'm pretty honoured to present Mil with cap number 258. I was having a bit of a think last night when I was sitting down trying to write something and I was thinking about the first time I saw you bowl," Vlaeminck said.

"It's pretty unconventional but I reckon it was when I was scrolling through Facebook one night and saw a MyCricket video of you absolutely badgeing some girls playing Premier cricket for EMP.

"Since then I reckon you've got a lot quicker. It's always exciting getting to welcome a new member to the Vic family, even more so when it's another country girl.

"I'm sure there will be plenty of excited people back home in Port Campbell."

The Victorians won the clash by 73 runs, bowling WA out for 186.
