Victoria to host WNCL grand final at MCG

Victoria finished on top of the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL) ladder and will host the grand final at the MCG this Friday (17/01/03) and Saturday (18/01/03). Victoria will play New South Wales Institute of Sport (NSWIS) Blues in a three match limited overs series. The third game, if required will be played at the Bill Lawry Oval in Northcote on Sunday January 19. Games commence at 10am and entry is free.

The final is a rematch of last season's WNCL final series, which the NSWIS Blues won 2-0. Victoria Spirit are on the front foot ready to break the winning streak of titles already won by NSWIS Blues. NSWIS Blues have won six titles consecutively.

Left arm medium pace bowler, Natalie Wood, is a new inclusion into the Spirit attack. She played her first game this year against Qld Fire last Sunday and was player of the match, bowling 3/18 off 8 overs.
