England women’s head coach Mark Lane said: “This year has been incredible for the England women’s team.
“After two ICC global events and the Ashes they have proved that they are unarguably the best team in the world in all formats of the game.

Triandrun Winter Ballbuster
When: Saturday 7th November, 2009

Details: Organisers say this event is like no other and they are correct. This duathlon begins with an 8 mile run around a loop of Boxhill followed by a 24 mile bike ride (3 times around the loop). Participants will then put their running shoes back on to run another 8 miles to complete the race. This is a tough event that sells out very year.
