What a brilliant day out. Well done to everyone for representing Ripon CC so perfectly!

Ripon Ladies kicked off their softball season in brilliant spirit this weekend, with both teams showing fantastic determination, teamwork and energy across two venues. ☀️🏏

Ripon 1 enjoyed a thrilling one run victory over Ouseburn in a nail-biting finish that had everyone on edge until the final ball. They then faced a strong Bilton side, narrowly falling short by 18 runs after another competitive performance.

Meanwhile, Ripon 2 battled hard against Studley before bouncing back superbly to claim a well-earned win against Beckwithshaw, rounding off a successful opening festival for the squad.

There were standout moments everywhere you looked. Over at Studley, Emma and Becky S produced superb catches in the field, while Helen threw herself around with a what was described to me as a fearless diving stop that summed up the team spirit perfectly. Behind the stumps, Jenny B took two excellent caught behinds to showcase her skills.

At Knaresborough, Ellie C and Ava showed incredible dedication by sprinting straight from their U13 game to open the bowling for the ladies team. Their efforts helped set the tone for a superb all-round team display which secured a very tight victory, while Cath impressed so much with the gloves that she may just have discovered her new favourite cricketing role.

Huge credit also goes to Cath, Robyn and Bex, who somehow managed to play, umpire and score at the same time. A true cricketing triple-threat performance worthy of several extra cups of tea and at least one emergency flapjack.

Special mentions go to Ripon’s debutants Hayley, Kerry, Ellie B, Phoenix and Becky S, all of whom made fantastic starts in Ripon colours.

A brilliant opening festival all round, full of encouragement, laughter, teamwork and competitive cricket. Onto the next festival in a few weeks’ time! 🏏💜

Ripon Ladies signed off their indoor league adventure in style at Queen Ethelburga’s, with one final game that had everything except a quiet moment.

Highlight number one belongs to Emma, who struck the ball with such ferocity she quite literally knocked herself off her own feet.

Then came the final ball drama, Bex turned part-cricketer, part-circus act, juggling a fierce effort before calmly completing a superb catch. It was the sort of moment that makes you forget to breathe, then immediately shout far too loudly in a sports hall.

Adding an extra layer of spice was the mother-daughter showdown for household bragging rights. I'm not sure who actually came out on top, but we came away with anouther win.

We have absolutely loved our time in the indoor league. It has been fast, frantic, occasionally chaotic and always full of laughter.

A huge thank you to Jenny E for bravely taking on scoring duties in the whirlwind, and to Mark for umpiring.
