Eighteen-year-old Filer will link up with Meg Lanning and Jess Jonassen. Dec 12, 2019 10:00 GMT Somerset's Lauren Filer Signs For Welsh Fire Lauren Filer has been signed by Welsh Fire to play in The Hundred next summer. The 18-year-old Somerset seamer - who has today been awarded the the Harry Burden Bursary Award, an annual bursary to support a young player’s cricket - has been selected by Welsh Fire Head Coach Matthew Mott. Filer plays her club cricket for Weston-super-Mare, and earlier this summer she was part of the successful Somerset Women’s team who were crowned T20 Division Two champions. She was selected to represent the South West at the Regional Development Centre Festival in July, went on to participate in the School Games and most recently she has been selected for the England Women’s Academy Training Squad. Mott said: "It's fantastic to know we'll have young, local talent playing for Welsh Fire in The Hundred. "Competitions like The Hundred and the WBBL in Australia can be massively beneficial to young players. Lauren will learn a lot from working with the likes of Meg Lanning and Jess Jonassen and I look forward to getting to know her better and seeing what she has to offer with the ball in hand." Mott's team will play a double-header with the men's team at Sofia Gardens in Cardiff but will also play matches at the County Ground, Bristol, and at Filer's local county Somerset, at the Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton. _____ 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.

Monday 20 October 2014 Aussie stars pledge to Mo this moustache season Twelve famous Aussie faces are pledging to grow a Mo (Mo Bros) and encourage (Mo Sistas) everyone around Australia to sign up as the countdown to get hairy on 1st Movember draws closer. The Movember Ambassadors are showcased in a photo series by internationally renowned fashion and portrait photographer Simon Upton revealed today by the Movember Foundation Sporting top lips decked with shaving foam to demonstrate how men around the country commence their hairy missions, the ‘I Pledge To Mo’ series features: § Olympic swimmer James Magnussen § Dual international cricketer and soccer star Ellyse Perry § Cricketer Aaron Finch § Channel V host and DJ Danny Clayton § Bondi Rescue stars Trent Maxwell, Jesse Pollock and Ryan Clark § AFL players Nathan Fyfe and Drew Petrie § Professional rugby league and rugby union player Timana Tahu § My Kitchen Rules star Scott Gooding § Masterchef 2014 winner Brent Owens The result is a fun, striking series of individual images and an impressive group shot all captured by Australian Simon Upton, who has snapped the likes of Cindy Crawford, Eva Longoria, Miranda Kerr and Ian Thorpe amongst other high-profile stars. “When I was approached with the idea of the simple yet powerful shaving foam Mo’s in combination with the stylish suits that’s similar to this year’s Made in Movember campaign, I knew we could have a lot of fun with the concept,” Upton said. “Photography can be a powerful medium for storytelling and I hope the images we’ve created inspire people to find out more about men’s health issues and get involved with Movember,” he added.

SUNDAY, APRIL 3, 2016 SPORTS Explosive Windies face fearless England in finale KOLKATA: West Indies’ rag-tag army of short- format mercenaries will be hoping they have the weapons to overcome a fearless England in today’s World Twenty20 final as both sides target the honour of being the first to claim a second title in the tournament. For a group of players who nearly boycotted the event over a contractual dispute with their board, Darren Sammy and his troops have waltzed into the Kolkata final displaying all the Caribbean flair that has earned them global admiration. If Twenty20 cricket is essentially about power-hitting, no team does it better and more unabashedly than the West Indies. England have first-hand knowledge of that destructive potency, having been blown away by Chris Gayle’s 47-ball century in a Super 10 shellacking in Mumbai a fortnight ago. Revenge may be regarded as a dish best served cold but Eoin Morgan’s men would probably like nothing more than to exact it in the heat of a World Cup final.
