Plans to form first Island women's national cricket team

There are plans to form the first women's national cricket team for the Isle of Man.

Isle of Man Cricket Association (IOMCA) announced this month it's looking to create a new female squad to represent the Island on the world stage, saying women's and girl's cricket locally has grown significantly in the last two years.

As a result, the IOMCA will host an open trial for the new senior team this weekend with any female of any level aged school Year 9 and above welcome to come along with all equipment and coaching to be provided.

It'll take place at the National Sports Centre in Douglas from 1pm this Sunday (November 1) - those wanting to register to attend are asked to contact sallygreen82@hotmail.co.uk.
