South Australian Scorpions

Seven of the Scorpion players have achieved something that most crickets can only dream of, representing their country internationally. Karen Rolton, Shelley Nitschke, Andrea McCauley, Emma Sampson, Lauren Ebsary and Megan Schutt have all represented the Australian Southern Stars with their classy talent. While youngster Bridget Patterson has recently been listed in the Australian Shooting Stars squad. Beth Morgan, the recruit from England, also represented her country before she came to Australia.

The Scorpions have taken out the WNCL title in 2015/16 when NSW were attempting their 11th consecutive title win. They were runners up in the 1997/98 & 2007/2008 seasons.

Prior to this SA were champions in: 1951/52 under Joan Ingram's captaincy 1979/80 under Jill Need – captain 1992/93 & 1994/95 Andrea McCauley – captain with Dennis Brien – coach

The Scorpions had a very intense pre season, working extremely hard on improving their fitness.

Former South Australian and Australian representative, Andrea McCauley, was named head coach of the South Australian Scorpions for the 2013/14 season.

Following cricket Australia's breakthrough announcement of the restructuring of the contracting system for women's International and State cricket earlier on in the year, the Scorpions Squad for the first time ever will receive contract retainer payments.

Neisha Iles, a very skilled player who brings great experience and pace to the game returned to the Scorpions Squad.

Lauren Ebsary once again as captain, leads the Scorpions, in both the Women's National Cricket League and Twenty20 competitions. While Rhianna Peate closely stands by as Vice Captain for her second year in a row.

Beth Morgan, our international batting star returns to the squad for her second season, while Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars' fast bowler, Megan Schutt is also included in the squad.
