Hide AdAnna, who was also a Development Officer for Northern Districts Cricket in New Zealand, has several coaching qualifications with NZ Cricket, and will be volunteering to coach and mentor Sleaford’s burgeoning pool of talented players. Sleaford CC runs a Women’s 1st XI, Super 8’s team and a softball team.
Melanie Jarvis-Ritte, Women’s cricket coordinator at Sleaford CC, said: “We could not be happier that Anna has chosen to come to Sleaford to help improve her game and view it as a major opportunity for the club. We have several players in the junior county setup, and they will benefit hugely from Anna’s experience.”
Henry Cooper, Anna’s brother, played cricket for Sleaford CC in 2023 and 2024.
Sleaford expects that Anna will join the club within a month or so, hopefully in time for the league fixture against Woodhall Spa CC at London Road on 9th June.
