Universities Women’s Cricket Club (UWCC) representatives Alex Blackwell and Rachael Haynes have returned home after winning the ICC 50 over Women’s World Cup as part of the Australian Southern Stars women’s cricket team.
It is the pair’s second world title in the last six months – they were both part of the Australian team that were victorious in the ICC T20 World Cup in September 2012.
Blackwell and Haynes have had a fantastic season, having also won the national T20 and 50 over titles with NSW and the first grade T20 Championship with UWCC.
Both girls will finish the season with UWCC, where they will attempt to make it a clean sweep by winning the first grade 50 over Premiership.
