Indoor Training Starts for Women

The North West Cricket Union are pleased to have the Ladies league pre-season training underway early with a welcome to indoor cricket sessions at Artigarvan Hall.

There are two sessions that take place every Monday evening, the first session is from 6pm to 7pm and will only be for those under 17 and will be a mixture of fun games and drills.

These sessions will run until easter as we will be going into schools to do girls only cricket from now until easter. The second slot is open for all players of any age, although we mainly see this for those that play senior cricket in the coming season.

This will take place straight after from 7-9pm. The sessions will feature different just games, one to one training and mini tournament. For each evening there is a small cost of £1.

Cricket Ireland/North West Coaches, Brian Allen, Gary McDaid and Colin Manson take the sessions. The purpose of the sessions is to help ladies develop more skills and technique before the ladies league gets underway in April.

One of the Coaches, Gary McDaid said,

“It is brilliant to see such a high interest in winter training as before ladies would tend to lose interest after their last game of the season. I look forward to helping develop the techniques of the ladies to ensure we have more of a competitive league and so we can compete with the standard of ladies in the NCU and Leinster.

Myself, Brian and Colin are delighted to be able to support these sessions and have the backing of the NWCU and also all the ladies involved. The effort that goes into all involved is outstanding. I look forward to see what the 2017 season has install for the ladies of the North West.’’
