Lady Chevrons begin a 4-match ODI series against Ireland @ HSC tomorrow!

They've been doing pretty well recently after the ICC gave ZC a bit of a beating earlier this year over the lack of funding given to the women's game. Good luck to the ladies and 'Skies' Chifo the coach. I don't know much about any of the current women's players but the coach is one of the good guys of the game - a Midlands stalwart who kept Kadoma and Jameson going during the real dark days.

This is prep for the World Cup Qualifiers that we are hosting next month - that should be good! I think they need at least 4 grounds for that so it'll be interesting to see where they choose. BAC seems to be in a very bad state so might not be an option unless they get their arses into gear soon.

Just realised it’s actually our first ever official WODI. So quite a historic day

We will see 3 years down the line who has excelled, the men or the women. Good for ZC!
