All-Star matches to showcase female players
Two girls all-star matches will be played at the North Field, the National Sports Centre, today.
The Axis Primary East v West match will start at 1pm, while the Axis Middle School East v West match will start at 3pm.
“I would like to thank Axis for their continued support to develop our girls’ cricket programme,” said Neil Speight, the Bermuda Cricket Board’s chief executive.
“We have many avid young girls in our academy and youth programmes that now have a stronger opportunity to shine and progress in our great sport.
“We are looking forward to growing this relationship to continue to provide opportunities for our young female players.”
Speight added: “On behalf of the BCB, I would like to thank Arnold Manders and Emmanuel Faria [Bermuda School Sports Federation], all the teachers and schools who have supported the league making it a success and to Barritts for providing the drinks for all the Bermuda Cricket Board youth programme events, including the Axis All-Star games. I would like to congratulate the girls selected to take part in the Axis All-Star games tomorrow, which will showcase some of Bermuda’s most talented players and I encourage the local community to come out and support them.”
