Festival of Female Cricket
The Festival of Female Cricket will hit the Australian Country Cricket Championships tomorrow in Bendigo.
Hosted at Queen Elizabeth Oval, girls are invited to participate in the free event that will include a MILO in2CRICKET and MILO T20 Blast session, with two players from each team assisting as it is a rest day at the Championships.
Followed by the participation activities, Commonwealth Bank VicSpirit veteran Sarah Elliott will conduct a training session with the female Northern Rivers pathway squads.
Facing each other in a Twenty20, an exhibition match will also be held between the Melbourne Ladies Renegades and the Melbourne Ladies Stars.
Players were selected to compete in the teams having previously represented their country regional junior teams through the pathway system and are not currently involved in the VicSpirit and Academy system.
