Northern Diamonds

Coach Dani Hazell is hoping past experiences can contribute to getting the Northern Diamonds over the line in this summer’s Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy

The two Northern Diamonds stars who sparkled in Southport today - Sterre Kalis and Phoebe Turner - have been reflecting on a memorable win which keeps the region on track for a second Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy title.

Sterre Kalis hit a thrilling maiden List A century and Phoebe Turner claimed a sensational six-wicket haul in a convincing 68-run victory over Lancashire Thunder that puts Northern Diamonds top of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy table with two games remaining in the group stage.

Dani Hazell is confident her Northern Diamonds players can recover from their recent defeat to Sunrisers and keep their Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy title bid on track when they travel across the Pennines this weekend.

The Northern Diamonds are delighted to announce that Australian all-rounder Erin Burns will be returning to the region for the remainder of this summer’s Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy.

Tom Cant, the Northern Diamonds senior regional talent manager, says it is “great reward” for a number of the region’s young players to gain wider recognition and has also praised senior regional debutant Maddie Ward. 

Debutant Maddie Ward is confident the Northern Diamonds can bounce back from defeat against Sunrisers at Chelmsford today and maintain their push for silverware in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy.

A youthful Northern Diamonds side were beaten upon their return to Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy action as fellow semi-final contenders Sunrisers claimed a three-wicket win chasing 189 at sunny Chelmsford today.

Assistant coach Kyle Coetzer is hoping the best is yet to come from the Northern Diamonds this season.

Kyle Coetzer has hailed the perseverance and quality of Beth Langston as the pair get ready for a showpiece final this weekend in the colours of Welsh Fire.

Tom Cant has revealed just how much his Northern Diamonds Academy players embraced the challenge of playing red ball cricket for the first time as a region.
