Bells Yew Green Girls Win the Double!

Bells Yew Green have had an outstanding start to their season after winning the Under 13 and Under 15 Lady Taverners County tournaments

The Lady Taverners is a National tournament that has been around for a number of years. Each County will hold a tournament and the winner of each will reach the regional final and the winners of that will then go through to the National final.

Bells Yew Green first won the Under 15 tournament, where they played against, Ansty, Chichester priory, Hastings & St Leonards Priory and Lewes Priory. They won all four of their matches to be crowned Under 15 County winners.

The Under 13 Lady Taverners tournament was held at Southwick Cricket Club, where there were 12 club teams involved. There were four leagues of three with Bells Yew Green playing against Chichester Priory and Lindfield. Bells Yew Green won their two matches, reaching the semi final where they played Crawley Cricket Club. The other semi final was held between Ansty and Hastings & St Leonards Priory.

Bells Yew Green and Hastings & St Leonards Priory both won their matches meaning they met each other in the final. The standard between the two sides was extremely high, but Bells Yew Green were eventual winners with some very strong batting.

Bells Yew Green under 13 and Under 15 sides will now play in the regional final on Sunday 16th August at Chigwell School, Essex against teams from Surrey, Essex, Kent and Middlesex.
