First Women’s Soft Ball Cricket Festival of the year to hit Southport.
Southport Trinity Cricket Club is set to host a Women’s Soft Ball Cricket Festival this month.
Do you fancy giving cricket a go this summer? Southport Trinity Cricket Club has been selected to host one of the England and Wales Cricket Board’s Soft Ball Cricket Festivals which aim to help to get hundreds of women involved in cricket across the borough and county.
Soft Ball Cricket is a new, fun, fast, social game for all abilities featuring a, you guessed it, soft ball.
Jonny Firth from Southport Trinity Cricket Club is delighted that her club has been selected to host a festival, which will be held on Friday 25 May between 6-9pm.
He said, “The festival is aimed at encouraging new women into cricket, to bring their friends along to have a great first experience of the game. The fun and friendly games will be six-a-side, using a soft ball, under arm bowling and the rules are designed to make games fun, fast and easy to pick up!”
Players will receive a free glass of prosecco on arrival, while there will also be off-field entertainment, including stalls, food, music, a selfie board, raffle prizes and fun challenges.
All who take part will receive a free festival t-shirt and all equipment is provided on the day.
Julie Durrant, Lancashire Cricket Foundation’s Women’s Soft Ball Festival co-ordinator, added, “We are delighted to be working with Southport Trinity Cricket Club to host one of our festivals.
“This event has been planned to ensure that women feel supported, relaxed and able to learn new skills in an inclusive atmosphere. Why not come along and join in the fun?”
The event, which has no dress code, is for teams of six players, so get your team together and sign up today for just £25
