Girls cricket takes a change of direction in how its delivered in 2015. Devon Cricket conducted two surveys in December; one of Girl Cricketers, and a second of Managers, Coaches, Organisers and parents to find out what the two most important collections of people wanted the girls cricket offer t
o look like in Devon. If you haven’t seen the results of these surveys please click

Soft Ball Competitions 2015 The Lady Taverners U11s and U13s softball competitions to be run in the same festival day format as previous years on Sundays late in May / Early June. These will be Devons county final and the winners of each will proceed to the regional final to represent Devon in the latter stages of the competition. (Devon county finals date and venue to be confirmed)
In addition to that, Devon Cricket are looking to run a U11s Softball Competition, which will be centrally run in a friendly league format, following the Lady Taverners rules. This format will also be replicated at U13s softball as well. These softball competitions will replace the friendly festivals on a Sundays which last year rather stuttered. These competitions will be left to the clubs to decide when they play, and depending on numbers we could look at a North & East / South & West division but this will be very much dependant on take up.
16 - Overs per side, 8 - Girls per team, Softball cricket
The idea behind the new look within the non LTs competition is to hopefully provide some flexibility and within the girls game, and also make it easier to get the girls playing.
