Cecelia Joyce Returns to Competitive Cricket in Arachas Super Ser

Speaking on her return, Joyce acknowledged the challenge of returning after a break but conveyed her enthusiasm:

“I’ve watched the first two games in the Super Series this year with great interest and am really impressed with the standard of the competition. With the injuries to a couple of the Typhoons players, I have made myself available knowing that while my break from the game will undoubtedly have affected my skills and fitness, I’m confident that my fielding will still be of a decent standard and I can hopefully add something to the playing group in terms of experience. Plus, I’m dying to get back on the field and have some fun!”

Typhoons head coach and former teammate Clare Shillington welcomed the decision:

“I’m really delighted that we have Cecelia Joyce joining us for the rest of the season. She has joined us on the back of a number of injuries to provide cover. It’s great to have a player of her experience coming into what is a young squad, and I’m looking forward to getting her back up and running and seeing her scoring plenty of runs for us.”

The Arachas Super Series continues to showcase Ireland’s top female cricketing talent, serving as a vital bridge between domestic cricket and the international stage. Joyce’s return adds depth to the Typhoons lineup and brings valuable leadership to a youthful squad navigating the challenges of a competitive season.
