More county success as Fern gets the call from East Mids!

Great news of yet another county call-up - Fern has been selected by new East Midlands "County" team!

This is the first time that there has been East Midlands county team. A bit like Sasha's "Eastern Counties" it is a combined area (taking in - in this case - Bedfordshire & Northamptonshire) and not to be confused by the East Midlands Region which also includes Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, and Lincolnshire.

Fern will be making her county debut in a game against Leicestershire on Sunday. I gather that as East Mids have been a bit slow gettig going they've withdawn from the tournament in Essex as they felt they weren't ready for it.

This also means that Fern is on a different "regional pathway" and will now have to trial for East Mids Region, rather than East. Which will make the U17 game between East Midlands and East in the new year potentially interesting...
