Photo: Getty Images Mar 01, 2020 11:47 GMT England Beat West Indies To Reach World Cup Semi-Final SCORECARD England Women beat West Indies by 46 runs in Sydney to secure qualification for the semi-finals of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup. Nat Sciver batted brilliantly on a tired and slow wicket to make 57 - her third fifty of the tournament - and some excellent late striking from Amy Jones and Katherine Brunt took England to 143/5. It's a venue at which India comfortably defended 132 in the tournament opener, and a pitch that saw South Africa ease past Pakistan with 136 in the day's earlier game so West Indies were always likely to be up against it. They never particularly got into their stride, and ended comfortably short. The wickets were shared around, but it was a landmark day for Sophie Ecclestone, who became the youngest woman to 50 IT20 wickets and Essex off-spinner Mady Villiers, who took a smart caught-and-bowled chance to claim her maiden World Cup wicket. England will now wait for Monday's final round of matches to discover their opponents for Thursday's semi-final, with either India, Australia or New Zealand laying in wait. QUOTES Heather Knight: "We talked before the game about being really smart on a low wicket and having a batter bat through, which Nat did brilliantly. "We had a few cameos at the end, which got us up to a really good score on that wicket - both Amy and Katherine did really well to add some late impetus. "We were really professional with the ball, the spinners in particular. I'm chuffed for Soph, she's been great ever since she came in and to get to 50 wickets at that age is a brilliant achievement." _____ You'll find all ECB Media Releases and associated resources on our Newsroom > ECB International Media Guide 2019 > Contacts Henry Cowen Press Contact Communications Manager - Performance England Women's team [email protected] +44 (0)7585 987 302.

Porthill Wrap up Western Division with Two Matches to Spare Despite Being
Porthill wrap up Western Division with two matches to spare despite being given another scare by Upton … Didsbury edge the first of the two top of the table clashes in the Eastern Division, but Trinity remain in the hunt … September is ECB’s Women’s Cricket Big Month CHESHIRE WOMEN’S LEAGUE Summer Series Western Division – August 30: Porthill Park 60-9 (30; Becky Cripwell 29, Philippa Dagger 3-5, Madi Arthur 2-9, Hannah McGowan 2- 10, Sophie Morris 2-11) (25pts) Upton 51-9 (30; Charlie Scudder 12, Amy Scerri 3-12, Cripwell 2-2, Lucy Shenton 2-4, Grace Potts 2- 5) (5pts) • Porthill Park are the winners of the Western Division for 2020, sealing the honours with two matches to spare. The Potteries-based club have undoubtedly been the best team, but once again didn’t have everything their own way as they wrapped up the title. However, despite posting a target of just two runs per over, Porthill’s bowlers took early wickets and never relinquished their grip. Amongst some impressive bowling figures Philippa Dagger’s outstanding season for Upton continued; and Becky Cripwell conceded just two runs in her six overs, having also held the Porthill innings together earlier, and she is a strong contender for the league’s best all-rounder of the season. Chester Boughton Hall 79-7 (20; Ali Cutler 45, Molly Price 3-8, Alexa Harrison 3-14) (25pts) Oxton 32 (18.3; Freya Davies 12, Gemma Rose 3-4, Tilly Buss 2-0, Nandu Valliyil 2-7) (4pts) • Ali Cutler’s innings stood out on a day when no other batsman passed 12.

England Women Announce Ashes Test Squad

Photo: Getty Images Jul 16, 2019 11:00 BST England Women Announce Ashes Test Squad England Women have named a squad of 13 for their must-win Kia Women's Test. Heather Knight (Berkshire, cap) Tammy Beaumont (Kent) Katherine Brunt (Yorkshire) Kate Cross (Lancashire) Sophie Ecclestone (Lancashire) Georgia Elwiss (Sussex) Kirstie Gordon (Nottinghamshire) Amy Jones (Warwickshire) Laura Marsh (Kent) Nat Sciver (Surrey) Anya Shrubsole (Berkshire) Lauren Winfield (Yorkshire) Sarah Taylor (Sussex, wicketkeeper) Kirstie Gordon - who impressed in last winter's ICC Women's World T20 before picking up a stress fracture - is brought into the squad after taking eight wickets in the warm-up fixture between Australia and England Women's Academy. England's warm-up game - against Australia A - ended in victory, with centuries for Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones and Nat Sciver. Danni Wyatt and Jenny Gunn, who were a part of the ODI squad, will stay with England Women's Academy to take part in T20s against Australia A and Ireland, the latter fixtures a replacement for Ireland's series against Zimbabwe which was cancelled. Fran Wilson and Alex Hartley will stay with the Test group in Taunton as cover. England captain Heather Knight said: "It's obviously a very important match for us and we need to win it to stay in the series. "The beauty of the multi-format points series means we're still very much in the battle, a normal bilateral series that finished like the ODIs would have been finished but we can get back to 6-4 with a win in the Test match and that's exciting.

Yorkshire Cricket Board Case Study County Cricket Board Yorkshire
Yorkshire Cricket Board Case Study County Cricket Board Yorkshire Cricket Board Scheme Women & Girls Club sustainable Development Specific Location Wrenthorpe, Wakefield, Yorkshire Andrew Hodkinson Author / Title Wrenthorpe Girls and Ladies cc (Viva Wrenvolution!) Date January 13th 2015 Quantitative and Qualitative Detail Background Wrenthorpe cc has always had a thriving Senior and Junior male section. Girls have always played in mixed age boys teams and for the last ten years the girls have also played in a Girl’s only league. The Under 16 Girls only competition was established in 2005 in the Heavy Woollen League, Yorkshire as the “Geoff Lowe Championship.” Wrenthorpe cc has championed girl’s cricket for the last decade and is well supported by the Head of Junior Development, Martin Stubbs. The girl’s league is based on a pair’s format/8-a-side where runs are lost and not wickets which encourages girls of all ages to play “competitive cricket” and to try new shots/techniques under pressure but in a safe playing environment – just playing cricket is the main thing. The competition has also introduced many girls to cricket (73 at the last count). Initiatives such as ECB Chance to Shine (Ilkley 2010) run by K. Brunt, D. Hazell and J. Gunn (England Women cc) has also inspired the next generation of players coming through. Wrenthorpe girls Hannah Poulter and Megan Hodkinson won the major awards during that week and both continue to excel and develop their cricketing ability. Hannah is on the EWDP u15 programme and Megan was the leading county wicket taker at u15 in 2014.
