Anna, who was selected for the New Zealand Women's Emerging Players team last season, has held a regular place in the Spirit since earning a spot in the side four seasons ago.

The last 12 months have seen Anna develop into a true all rounder, who now has a record of 20 limited-over and 15 Twenty20 games for the Northern Spirit.

She has scored nearly 350 runs in the two forms of the game, with a handy average of 15.31 in the one-day arena.

In addition she has taken six wickets for the ND side in both forms of the game.

Jacinta Coleman, will make her debut for the Northern Districts Women's Under-21 side, at the national age group tournament to be played in Christchurch in December 2011.

The Tauranga Girls' College student has graduated from Bay of Plenty Junior and Secondary School teams to become an integral member of the Bay of Plenty senior women's side that won the ND Women's Championship last season.

Bay of Plenty Cricket fans will have the opportunity to catch the Northern Spirit in action at the Bay of Plenty Cricket Oval at Mount Maunganui on two occasions next week.

On Friday, December 2, the ND representatives will play the Central Hinds in the first round of the Action Cricket Twenty20 competition.

The 4pm start is an ideal time for local cricket watchers to catch the action between some of the best women's players in the country.

A warm-up for the Spirit takes place against the Bay of Plenty Junior Secondary (Boys') team on Wednesday, November 30 afternoon.
