By Daily Sports on November 23, 2017

Kaduna State Women’s Cricket team emerged the Champion in the recently concluded National Women’s Cricket Championships organised by the Nigeria Cricket Federation (NCF). In a keenly contested T30 match against a strong FCT Women’s team, the Kaduna ladies proved that they are a strong batting and fielding side by scoring 135 runs in 30 overs while eliminating FCT’s batting in 24 overs, conceding 104 runs.

Of the 20 teams that participated in the qualifying stage, six teams (Niger, Oyo, Kaduna, Edo, Anambra and FCT) converged in Abuja as regional finalists and compete for finals honours.

“After just 10 years of Women’s Cricket in Nigeria, I am certain that we now have a crop of young women from all over the country who will form the foundation for strong national sides in the distinct categories of the Women’s game,” says Prof. Yahaya Ukwenya, President, NCF.

Kaduna State Women’s team, as all the finalists, showed amazing team spirit, keen sportsmanship and respect for their opponents in all matches played over the weekend. Outstanding players from the Kaduna squad were Mary Desmond (Fielder of the Series) and Blessing Nwobodo who was awarded Best Batsman and Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the series.

The National Men’s Championship starts on the 30th November in 5 regional venues with the Finals coming up in Ibadan and Lagos December 5 to 9, 2017.
