Following a 1st round bye, the Torrisholme Diamonds have been drawn at home to face Ramsbottom Girls
in the second round of Lady Taveners Under 15 T20 Competition this year. This is a National hard ball competition with Lancashire based rounds to begin with. The girls previously entered the Under 13 version of the competition in 2019, beating Lindal Moor
in Round 1, but lost out away to Leyland Ladies U13
in Round 2 (The 2020 competition was unfortunately cancelled due to Covid restrictions).
During the 2021 season we will be looking to enter more girls only hard and softball festivals, along with a number of friendlies with other local sides.
Torrisholme CC has a growing number of girls throughout our junior sections from All Stars
aged 5-8 years old, through to Under 16. Any girls based in the local area and interested in joining the Torrisholme Diamonds are urged to get in touch. Even if you enjoy playing mixed cricket for another local junior side that is fine. You could still represent the Diamonds in an all-girl fixture, if your club doesn't have an all-girls side. We have one girl involved who does just that. The Diamonds hard ball squad (12-16 year olds) are set to begin training sessions every Friday night from the 16th April, between 6.30pm and 8pm.
Coaches of other north-west based women and girls sides who are keen to arrange friendly fixtures are encouraged to get in touch with Jack and Jez by emailing jez@torrisholmecc.co.uk
