We want to say a further thank you to our player sponsors.

Next up is our Nighthawks Squad member Jodie Cross

Jodie has been around our club for a number of years now and, when the Nighthawks team was created midway through last season, she was one of the first players to join up and embrace the challenge. Jodie has been an integral part of the success of the team on and off the field ever since until she unfortunately suffered a season ending knee injury during a training session. This was really unfortunate as she was developing some serious pace with her bowling.

Jodie is being sponsored by SM Hair
