Danielle Hazell who has made numerous appearances for the England Women’s Team
attended a St Helens Girls training session held at Rainford Cricket Club.

Danielle is a regular for the England One Day team and recently made her test
debut in the Ashes 2010/11 Series in Australia.
Danielle was assisted by Alex Hartley (Lancashire Women), Rachel Harrison and
Helen Pickervance (Rainford CC) who ran the coaching session for over 30
talented young girls. They completed various fielding and catching drills prior
to a couple of short games which showcased the young girls’ improving cricket
skills. At the end of the training session, a well deserved buffet was prepared
for the girls, coaches, parents and spectators.
Chris Chambers (LCB Cricket Development Coach – St Helens) commented: “Along
with passing on her coaching expertise, Danielle hosted a question and answer
session which all the girls and parents fully enjoyed. I’d like to thank
Danielle for making the time to attend our girls training session and hope it
will inspire some of them to possibly follow in her footsteps. My thanks also go
to Ian Harrison (Chairman of Rainford CC) for hosting and providing an excellent
buffet.”
Also in attendance was Gemma Harkness (Sports Development Officer for St Helens)
who was available to answer any queries regarding Women’s sport in the St
Helens district.
The Girls play at three age groups: U11s, U13s and U15s and train every
Wednesday at Newton-le-Willows Cricket Club, 5:00pm – 6:15pm. Contact Chris
