Overview

Lightning Strikes: The Loughborough Lightning Story takes you inside the new and exciting world of semi-professional women's cricket. Formed in 2016 to compete in the opening season of the Kia Super League (KSL), Loughborough Lightning are the only KSL club not run by a county side. Yet they have established themselves as a tough team to beat, reaching three finals days in four seasons. Led by young coach Rob Taylor, Loughborough Lightning are pioneers in a fresh and fast-evolving women's sport. Jamie Ramage gained exclusive behind-the-scenes access with the players and staff to offer a unique insight into their experiences. Follow them every step of the way through their 2019 campaign, reliving the highs and lows as a mix of veteran players like Jenny Gunn and Mignon du Preez and emerging talents like Sarah Glenn vie for a place in the team.
