Calmore Sports leg spin bowler Eve O'Neill, who made her mark in Southern Premier League cricket last May with a five-wicket return at Ventnor, has flown to Malaysia today to play for England in the ICC Under-19 Women's World Cup.
Sixteen year old O'Neill, who claimed the scalp of impressed Sarisbury Athletic run gun Tom Morton's on her 2023 SPL debut, has been awarded the Charlotte Edwards Award for Outstanding Under 16 Schoolgirl Cricketer by The Cricket Society.
The Barton Peveril College student enjoyed a stellar 2024 season, taking over 60 wickets for Hampshire Women and the Southern Vipers Academy.
Plying her trade at Calmore Sports, she took 15 wickets for the club's senior sides, including 5-26 at Ventnor, and was named in England Women’s U19 World Cup squad, where she will feature with her Southern Vipers teammate Abi Norgrove, who has been appointed captain.
England play Ireland, Pakistan and the USA in their initial qualifying group.
