Teams selected » Posted on Mon 28/07/08 » Add Comments


WOULD GIRLS SELECTED TO PLAY FOR A TEAM PLEASE NOTIFY THE MANAGER IF THEY FIND THEY CANNOT PLAY BY ACTUALLY TALKING TO THE MANAGER AND NOT VIA TEXT, VOICE MAIL OR EMAIL ALONE. There is no guarantee that such a message will reach the Manager in good time nor at all and this could lead to the strength of the team being compromised as it makes it difficult and/ impossible to find a replacement in time.

Thank you

Summer coaching sessions will continue at Wrekin College, but only for the U15s, U13s and the Development Squads. Sally will be in touch to tell you who needs to attend on which night. It is planned to hold sessions for two different groups once a fortnight.

Parents should note that the sessions will run from 6.30 -8pm.

Summer Outdoor Nets » Posted on Sun 20/04/08 » Add Comments


Shropshire Girls’ Outdoor Nets 2008

 

This summer we will be holding outdoor nets at Wrekin College on the dates listed below. Please note that the responsibility for checking if nets are on rests with you – a late decision may be made and also we cannot be sure who will be attending each week and therefore phoning everyone would not be appropriate. Do not presume they are on or off because of the weather conditions local to you. Whenever possible, I will put an announcement on the website.

 

You could also try phoning Sally or myself. If I have your email address (please check that I do), I will try to email everyone to confirm that week’s details, but this will probably only occur if there is a clear decision to make the night before.

 

As in previous years, there will be a charge made to cover the coaches’ expenses and this year it has been set at £3. All squad members are welcome to attend. If you miss the first few nets please check that future dates have remained the same as below.

 

The dates of the nets are:

Tuesdays, 29th April, the 13th and 27th May, 3rd and 17th June and 8th July.

Nets will begin at 6.30pm and finish at 7.30/8pm. If you are being dropped off, please check what the finishing time is before the person dropping you off leaves.

Fixture list » Posted on Fri 04/04/08 » Add Comments


Welcome everyone to the 2008 Season.

 Women and especially the U 17 players should let me know if they are available for each fixture and therefore wish to be considered for the team. We shall give first consideration to those players who have let me know. Those members of the U15 squad that may be considered will be contacted by us.

I hope that you all have an enjoyable summer of cricket both at county and club level. At present we are planning to hold fortnightly nets at Wrekin College on a Tuesday evening. You will be told the exact details before the indoor nets finish.

I should like to take this opportunity to thank Julie Dean for acting as Manager for the U17 fixture at Pershore, Frances Wood for doing likewise for some games once schools have broken up for the summer and Sue Reid for accompanying the U17s as Manager to Taunton.

Thank you to all of you for your hard work over the winter, i.e. coaches, players, parents, guardians and last, but not least, Sally.

Please check the news item below for dates of fixtures as some have changed as games have been postponed or cancelled due to the poor weather. It looks very unlikely that the U15 fixture v. Worcestershire can be re-arranged again because the fixture list has become too congested.

Please note that the U15 game v. Worcestershire has been re-arranged for Thursday 28th June.

There will be coach travel available for the Women's game v. Leicestershire on the 30th June. We will be picking up in Whitchurch, Shrewsbury and Telford. This will cost £10 per person. We are travelling in a 26 seater and there will be seats available if anyone wants to go along and watch, but please contact me regarding this beforehand just to be certain of a seat. It would be great if we had a number of supporters there. I know that some have planned to travel seperately. I will be in touch about the exact pick up points and times.

Fixture up date and match report » Posted on Tue 15/05/07 » Add Comments


Please look again at the fixture list there have been some changes. U13 need to check back for their fixture date v. Herefordshire which may be in June instead of May and for the venue for their re-arranged fixture v. Wales.

Below is a copy of the match report submitted to the papers for Women's recent fixture v. Wales.

The re-formed Shropshire Women’s Cricket Team opened their season with a 50 over a side game against Wales at Oswestry Cricket Club on Monday 7th May.

 Wales won the toss and elected to bat. After their 50 overs they were 253 for 7 with their main scorers A.Rees on 76 and C.Griffiths on 40. Shropshire wicket takers were Julie Dean 8-1-26-2, Louise Pugh 8-1-35-2, Megan Jones 8-0-48-2 and Charlotte Walsh 5-0-18-1.

 When Shropshire batted, they were unable to cope for most of their innings with the accuracy of L.Parfitt and G.Davies. After loosing two quick wickets, a partnership of 52 between Vicky Bale and Evelyn Jones took Shropshire to 55 for 3. Once Bale (38) was out, Shropshire collapsed and were all out for 82. (L.Parfitt 6-2-10-4, C.Thomas 5-3-5-3, G.Davies 5-3-2-2)

 We would like to thank Oswestry Cricket Club for the use of their ground and facilities. The Women’s next game is against Leicestershire on Saturday 30th June at Loughborough.


Oswestry C.C. Directions » Posted on Sun 06/05/07 » Add Comments


I have tried unsuccessfully to add directions for the Women's game against Wales on Monday 7th May. The address for the ground is Morda Road, Oswestry , SY11 2AY . If you use this to get directions on multimap, you should find what you want if you are unsure of where the ground is.

See you there for 10.30.

New Women's and Girls' Club Teams
Both of the following cricket clubs have included girls in their junior teams before this year. However they are expanding their girls' only teams in Shifnal's case and running girls only in Shrewsbury's for the first time this year.

Shifnal C.C. is continuing to run all girls teams in a local league. This year they plan to expand this to two all girls teams and one mixed team. Shifnal C.C. are setting up a women's team and anyone interested in joining, whatever your experience, should contact Barbara Morton on 01952  245520. Barbara is also your contact for any girl who would like to play, again please make contact however much or little experience you have.
Shrewsbury C.C. are planning to run a girls team in the local U10 league. Girls can play who are a year older than this. Shrewsbury also plan to run a women's team. Again, whatever you level of experience, please contact myself for the present - Eileen Pritchard on 01952593315. I will add a contact number for someone at the club when I have one to hand. Shrewsbury will be running  indoor nets after the February half term, on Sundays for older girls and women and on Wednesday evening for the younger girls. Please phone me for details.

There are women's teams already at Quatt C.C., Forton C.C. and Cae Glas. I have details for these and will post them shortly. Please contact me in the mean time if you would like more details.
