There will be at least 3 teams who will be competing in an informal league of 4-a-side soft ball cricket. All training and games will be from 4.30pm to 6pm on Tuesday afternoons at the Pia Bella Stadium.

Lynn Holman said, "most of the girls were either completely new to the game or they have played for just one season. It’s not about being a brilliant player, but rather about having a run around as a great way of keeping fit."

Coach Phill Stanford added, "to help the ladies get the most out of their games, we coach batting, bowling and fielding; it’s rewarding, because they really try hard to get the techniques correct. Working with Nigel Holman, who coached at Surrey County Cricket for 20 years, has helped me break the game down into its basics, which has been fascinating.

The Creditwest Spring Ladies Cricket League will see Doğanköy Dollies attempt to defend their title against Lapta Lasses and the Girne Girls. Lapta captain Gina Mapp says she is determined her team won’t make the same mistakes as last time and is confident she will lift the trophy come July. Whilst Lynn Holman says she’s confident her Girne side will improve with the addition of Sri Lankan Shirona Fernand, the first lady from the Sub-Continent to play cricket in the TRNC.

New players are always very welcome, no experience nor equipment is needed. Please call Lynn on 0542 8893680 or simply come to the 5-a-side pitches at the back of the Pia Bella football pitch any Tuesday at 4.30pm.
