Premier Women’s Cricket
At the beginning of the 2019/2020 season Christchurch Metropolitan Cricket Association (CMCA) accepted our application to enter a side in the Premier Women’s Grade which was going to a challenge to the group of our players who had been playing Under 19 cricket and wanted to further development and a pathway for cricket. It was challenging season when you get to play against some of the best players in domestic cricket, but it was very exciting opportunity for side who grew in confidence through the season.
This year we will have been able to retain our coach Hannah Beatson assisted with Nigel Marsh in growing the development of the player’s while maintaining our culture.
The side will starting pre-season training in August with the season to get underway in October. If you are interested in playing Premier Women’s Cricket for North-West Women’s Cricket please contact Hannah Beatson or Libby Stead by emailing cricket@northwestwomenscricket.org.nz
