We have entered the Lady Taverner's U15 competition and may have a bye in the county semi-final. I shall advise you of our position in this competition. The U13 county representatives will be found as a result of a match between the winners of the central league v the club that perform best in the festivals to be held between clubs in the north of the county- held in the second half of July. An U11 festival is planned for this summer, with the date and venue yet to be decided. Good luck to all of the teams. I hope all of the girls have an enjoyable summer of cricket, both for the club in a girls' or mixed team and for county teams where applicable. Eileen eileenpritchard@shropshirecricket.co.uk 01952593315 07886281864 Fri 03 Sep 2010 13:38:54 http://www.shropshirecricket.co.uk/news_item.php?id=86 I had planned to organise a friendly game or two for those women who have expressed a wish to play some cricket, during the school holidays - however many people have understandably been away at various times and this hasn't been feasible. Therefore, I am considering arranging some winter nets for women and older girls to take place after Christmas if there is enough support for this and then we would be in a good position to play games as soon as the season starts. I know that the ECB is considering arranging a "league" for women's teams that wish to play friendly games only and I think that is a very good place for us to start - if this does not come to fruition, I could find some opponents for friendly games anyway. If this is to work a number of things have to come together - once I have found out that there is support for this, I would advise those who are interested of possible venues, days and cost. Just as a suggestion at this early stage, I would like your opinions on: Age guide line, eg 14 years and above with no top age exclusion. Inclusive of all abilities and experience. Would an evening or Sunday be best for net practice? Are there coaches, scorers or possible managers out there who would like to get involved? We shall need some more of these to run the girls' teams next year too? If you would like to be involved in any of these capacities, would you like the opportunity to get some training to do so, or would you like to have some advice on what these roles might involve? If you have any suggestions or questions about the above item please get in touch. This venture is open to any women and girls - you do not have to have a connection with Worfield Cricket Club at present to be included.Eileen0195259331507886281864eileenpritchard@shropshirecricket.co.uk Thu 02 Sep 2010 21:06:53 http://www.shropshirecricket.co.uk/news_item.php?id=85 On Sunday12th September, we will be playing in a play-off tournament at Allscott Cricket Club which will decide who are  the County U13 winners for 2010. We need to be there BY 9.15 as the first game will get underway at 10am. The other teams involved are Quatt, Wem and Woore - these last two teams came out as the top two from the three festivals played in the north of the county - they did this instead of playing in a league as we did. The girls selected to play are listed below and  I need to have replies from you whether OR not you are available. We will play three games where 8 girls will be selected to bat and I hope that we will be allowed to change those fielding - all girls will be guaranteed to bat in at least one game. If you have not been selected to play, you are very welcome to come along and support thoseplaying.PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WILL BE THREE GAMES AND BECAUSE OF THIS, I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT WE SHOULD COMPLETE THE GAMES AT ABOUT 2.45PM. I do not know whether the girls need to take food and drink with them as yet and will let you know in due course.

Some girls are unavoidably unable to play. I would like to say a big thank you to ALL of the eight girls and their parents who had said they could play at such short notice and also to Steve Pitt who would have been the team's coach tomorrow. I fully understand why each of the girls who couldn't make it (there are 16 of you ) have had the problems they have had- some are simply elsewhere- we have had a wonderful summer - the cricket has been played in a positive and supportive manner and I hope you have all enjoyed your cricket and your involvement with Worfield as much as I have. As mentioned before, we do have some games yet to play. I think that we will try to play these after the bank holiday and I will be in touch with you all about this.Eileen Mon 09 Aug 2010 22:05:13 http://www.shropshirecricket.co.uk/news_item.php?id=83 Mon 09 Aug 2010 08:57:46 http://www.shropshirecricket.co.uk/news_item.php?id=82 The girls qualified for the Midlands final to be played this Thursday, 12th August  - unfortunately we cannot make a team for Thursday as only 4 girls are available to play (out of a possible 21). Could all girls whether they have played for the "A" team or not, please let me know if they are available on 12th September when there will be a play-off competition between the top two teams in the league we have played in against the top two teams who have played in the festivals held in the north of the county. We will be involved in this.The "A" team has 1 fixture left and the "B" team has 2 fixtures left.

Unfortunately, a couple of the Shifnal girls let their side down late in the day and hence when we arrived they only had 4 girls.  Our "A" team have been awarded this fixture and we shall try to rearrange a game for the"B" team in a couple of week's time. We also have two outstanding fixtures to play against Madeley who have been struggling to get enough players during the factory fortnight holiday HENCE WE HAVE NO GAMES THIS THURSDAY.So we divided the girls in to two teams and had a mixed 9 a side game that was hotly contested by both sides, made more difficult by the rain during much of the second innings. Well done everyone and thank you to Jayne Arnold for scoring, Nigel Matthews for holding the umbrella and Colin for umpiring .

The A team came out as winners of the match with a total of 252 runs with the B team finishing on 208. The deciding factors were runs scored and wickets taken by the A team, however, the B team would have forced a much closer result if they could have limited the number of wides they gave away. This was an excellent performance by all of the players, the more experienced players showing commendable consideration to those with less experience - who all performed very well.The A team's match has had to be postponed this week as there is an U13 county match on Thursday and a number of girls have other commitments on the night too-this will be re-arranged.The B Team has a home fixture against Wellington this Thursday. The match is due to start at 6.30pm, so please be at Worfield for 6 pm. The team is listed below and I shall again put an * after your name as I hear from you.
