Subscriber only THE next generation of Ipswich Hornets cricketers head into the new year with a shot of confidence after an encouraging weekend of T20 matches. The under-15 Hornets girls beat Gold Coast by eight wickets on Sunday morning before a spirited 12 run loss to Wests in the afternoon at Baxter Oval. After the first two games in the annual Paul Pink Shield competition were washed out, Hornets manager Leanne Bichel was delighted how her young players responded when given an opportunity. It was excellent for all the girls who don t play regular cricket for us in a grade situation, Bichel said.
