Following 2 weeks of gruelling assessments and coaching at Middlesex Ladies trials, Sunny Pottay, Charlotte Gallagher and Kat Dickens have all been selected to the Middlesex Ladies squad for the coming season. This is fantastic news, not only for the individual players but also the Ladies team and Twickenham Cricket Club.

Janet Bitmead, the Ladies section Secretary said, “It is a long time since we had any Middlesex players at the club and is another positive step for Twickenham CC.”

More than 40 ladies attended the trials including Ashes winner and England International, Beth Morgan. Watched by the coaching staff and management at Middlesex, the hopefuls were assessed on all aspects of their game and fitness and the ability to perform to the highest standards under the pressure of county trials. Beth Morgan commented, “the Twickenham girls fitted in really well, and all looked good players. It will be great to have some new blood in the squad.”

The selection of Sunny, Charlotte and Kat comes on the back of a very successful season for Twickenham Ladies who played 29 games and won 20 of them, including taking the Middlesex Super 8’s Cup. Martyn Fryer, Twickenham’s Coach and Cricket Development Manager, commenting on the selection, said, “It is wonderful news for all associated with Twickenham CC, and a reflection of the hard work that Sunny, Charlotte and Kat have put in over the last year. Our aim is to produce more County players amongst our members of all ages, and our coaching staff will be working hard to achieve this.”
