The Women’s Metro Competition has kicked off its spring season, with eight teams taking the field across metro Sydney on Sunday, 18 October.
Women’s Metro Grows to Eight Teams as Spring Season Opens
That figure is up from five teams in last summer’s inaugural season, a sign of how quickly the competition is growing.
Delivered exclusively by CNSW, the competition features a traditional 11-a-side format with Cricket NSW accredited umpires.
