================================================================================

11 teams will be competing through July and August in a newly formed league for
Senior Women.

Women's cricket is taking huge steps forward and Lancashire as a County are
attempting to catch up with the fast moving developments. We have introduced a
Mid-Week Senior Women's League to bridge the gap between junior cricket, Club
Sunday Cricket and County. These teams will be very much at a development stage
in the first few years but with a plan to become a very competitive competition
in years to come. The league will be run through Lancashire Women's Cricket
Development Group (LWCDG) who will meet with representatives throughout the year
with support from LCB.
The teams will play mid week, during just July and August in a Twenty20 format
with fixtures being announced in the next 2 weeks. All teams are looking for
players and volunteers to get involved in any way. If you are interested or know
anyone that might be then please contact the relevant teams.
The 11 teams involved along with contact details are as follows:

Please note the league is aimed at players right from those who have never
played before through to County players. You must be 13 years old to play in the
team but many of the teams above also have junior sections and would welcome
younger girls. In 2013 we are hoping to expand the league to cover more of the
County.
Please also note there is still a team at Bolton Indians CC and Vernon Carus CC
who both play Sunday Cricket in a longer format.
