Entries now open for ‘Lady Taverners’ Indoor Competitions

With an aim to provide sustainable and suitable Indoor Cricket Competitions for U13 & U15 Secondary School Girls during the winter months, the Lancashire Cricket Board invites your school to enter the Lady Taverners Indoor U13 and/or U15 Girls 8-a-Side Competitions.

The aim of these Inter Cricket Indoor Competitions is to provide young girls with an opportunity to play Indoor Cricket, hasten their progress to the standard game and to encourage fair participation by all. Inter Cricket is a game which bridges the progression from softball to hardball cricket. For all local area competitions Inter Cricket equipment is desirable, however, wooden bats and junior sized Incrediballs should be used for match play. Inter Cricket equipment will be used at the County Finals.

6 teams will progress to the County Finals to be held at Lancashire CCC, Indoor Cricket Centre, Old Trafford at a date TBC which will be towards the end of March.

The LCB has again placed the development of Girls Cricket in Secondary Schools as a high priority and this competition is all about raising the profile of Girls Cricket across the county within schools. It will also give teachers the opportunity to meet in some cases your Community Development Coaches who will be able to offer advice and support to schools on topics ranging from Coaching in Schools, Competitions, Resources, Equipment and tickets to Lancashire matches.

If your school would like to participate in this year’s competitions, please complete the attached form(s) and enclose the relevant entry fee, returning to Old Trafford for the attention of Lancashire Cricket Board. The Entry fee is £10 per competition, which will help with venue hire costs. Please make cheques payable to “Lancashire Cricket Board”.
