And here’s a nice random start to Costa‘s Corner for this week! I had the pleasure of going along to the opening game of the 2023 WBBL season last night at North Sydney Oval. It was a nail-biting contest between the Sydney Sixers and the Melbourne Stars. I’m not sure how many of you have been following the development of the WBBL over the last couple of years, but it’s something that I have been watching and supporting and really loving. I was on the edge of my seat …. it was down to the wire;  literally a case of the Sixers needing 4 runs off the last ball!
