IOM Cricket's Women and Girl's Softball Festival is taking place this Saturday (7 Aug).

Union Mills is hosting the event, with the action getting going on the top football pitch at 2pm.

All ages and abilities are welcome, including complete beginners.

Also, brand new for 2021, is the female soft ball knock out cup.

Female soft ball cricket is a short and fun version of the game using a soft cricket ball and plastic bats. The game is designed to give everyone a fair opportunity to bat, bowl and field, making it a brilliant way for females of all ages and abilities to play the game.

Date: Sunday 29th August
Venue: King William’s College
