Update on Lauren Smith - returning to Sydney for the cricket season

We unfortunately have not seen much of Lauren Smith, daughter of Paul Smith, at golf recently as she has been overseas pursuing her cricket career.  Below is a report on her achievements overseas and her program when she returns for this cricket season.

We wish Lauren all the best in her cricket career and look forward to her return to golf whenever she can find the time.  

Lauren returns from her trip to the UK Wednesday.

Here is a short summery of her cricketing exploits.

Lancashire

T20 Div 1  - mid table finish after bottom placed last year

T50 Div 2  - Champions and promoted 

Didsbury (Club team)

T20 Champions 

T50 mid table finish

As a consequence of Lancashire commitments she missed a number of club games.

Took plenty of wickets (23 at 9) and mate lots of runs, many at important times. (4 50's. one 94 at an average of 37)

She also managed to pack in visits to Italy, France and Spain and visited London on many occasions. These were purely social visits made with a NSW team mate who was playing for Nottinghamshire.

She starts back with the NSW Breakers this coming Thursday and has been contracted to the Sydney Sixers for the second consecutive season.

If she doesn't make the Aussie team for the World Cup next year I suspect she will be returning for the  season. She's enjoying perpetual summers.
