Would like to say Congrats to B.S Trio’s who played in the Indoor league over the winter at Chelmsford, the girls played very well and reached a very close 3rd place. They played very well against Loughton and Harrow-wood. Also a well done to the other B.S team involved, it was a very enjoyable league, and some good cricket was played. Laura Thorogood, has done brilliantly well in cricket, and is currently playing for the England U19’s. Cara Toleman is England U19 indoor V.captain. Victoria Brown is playing for Essex U19 women’s team. Well done girls. Fixtures, Dave needs to know if any of the fixtures have to change before March. Its really important, as clubs we start to look at the youth section. Homewood house are doing a grand job, and have many things organised over the Easter and the for-coming period. There is supposed to be an U11/U13 league being produced this year. Hopefully this will be a success and grow and these girls can then develop into the B.S league. Harwich, Maldon and Homewood House have youth girls sides so please contact them for youth games. Thank you Beaumont Seymour for your continued support, and good luck to the girls/teams for this season. Meeting closed. 21:00 |
