After a few false starts, the Women’s team finally got their season underway, earning a victory when they played away at Church on Friday 10th July in a T20.
Burnley won the toss and elected to field first. The bowling unit performed well and limited Church to 88 from their 20 overs. 10 ladies getting a chance to bowl, with the wickets being shared around 5 of them. Eloise Clegg, Molly Rebanks, Iqra Shafqat and Sophie Latham all claiming a wicket each, whilst Emily Brunt was the only bowler to take two. Her figures coming out as 2-19 from 2 overs. Iqra only going for 6 runs from 3 overs herself.
8 of Church’s batters failed to reach double digits. With only one batter putting up any resistance, scoring 38 of the team’s total, along with 28 extras, those runs made up the most of the hosts' score.
Iqra and Molly then opened the batting, and didn’t waste any time getting the run chase going, and then quickly over. Reaching the total from only 50 deliveries without losing a wicket. Molly hit six 4’s and a single 6 on her way to 36 from 28. But it was Iqra who, as usual, did most of the damage. Blasting two 6’s and eight 4’s, finishing 47 from 22. The openers scoring above 10 runs an over between them to see the girls to their first win in their first proper game of the season. Let’s hope there’s more to come.

SEMI FINAL saw the ladies head to Sefton Park in August. Weather wasn’t great that morning but the mood was high. They came second in this cup last year and are fighting to go one better in 2023.
After batting first and putting on a score of 118, they were out to defend in the field. They managed to limit Sefton Park to 114, and this put the ladies into the final.
