The Charlotte Edwards Cup resumes on Wednesday 25th August with three matches remaining in the group stage. The Ageas Bowl-based Southern Vipers currently sit top of Group A with three bonus-point victories from their opening three fixtures and will be hoping to secure home advantage at next month’s Finals Day.
Situated an hour or less away from London, Brighton, Portsmouth and Reading, The Ageas Bowl is easily accessible for anyone living in the South of England. With excellent transport links from all major train stations and ferry terminals in the area, as well as a Park & Ride Scheme, it couldn’t be easier to get to and from the ground.
