The Eels have yet to register a Warrnambool and District Cricket win but gee they've had some fun thus far this season.

You only had to see their elation after taking wickets against West Warrnambool on Sunday at Bushfield.

Grace Butters has a strong family link to the recently-merged club.

Her younger brother Nick is the men's division one captain as well as one of the WDCA's stars.

Grace said Nick had led a net session with some of the women's players and was happy to pass on a few tips.

"Just with bowling - following through and how to stand and just really small things that you don't know," Grace said of the advice she valued.

Grace, who has played three games, is picking up the game fast and scored a handy 28 at the top of the order on Sunday.

She is also getting a bowl each week and has taken a wicket.

It's a great outcome considering she was only going to fill-in if the Eels really needed someone to play.

"I just know (captain-coach) Elle (Kermond) because Nick is at the club and I said 'if they're really short I'll have a go - don't expect me to be good because Nick is'," she said.

"So then I just introduced myself to Elle and she said 'great, so you'll play this week'

"Tash (Clark) and I played the first game without any training, we just rocked up and had a go."

The Eels have continued to draw in new faces since round one with Grace Logan and Victoria Grundy making their debuts on Sunday.

Elle echoed Grace's sentiment about how supportive other members of the club had been.

"We've got a few of our division four, three, two and one boys coming out and watching on weekends," she said.

"If you ever go to their games they always ask 'who have you got tomorrow'.

"We're just having that really good club support."

Elle said promoting fun and development were the key targets this summer.

"It's just good seeing improvement week-by-week, that's what we're aiming for and we're aiming to get that improvement through getting everyone enjoying cricket," she said.

"That's our first-and-foremost goal for everyone and the improvement is naturally coming with it."

The Eels are a result of a merger between Woodford and former Grassmere Cricket Association club Wangoom.

Elle is from the Wangoom side of merger and was part of the Grassmere team which in the inaugural women's competition last year.

That team isn't in the mix this year and the Eels picked up players as a result.

Elle said the new identity was consistently getting enough to for a full team.

"We've got 11 today, we did have a few away last week where we ended up with nine but that's our lowest for the year, we've been able to get up to 10, 11, 12 each week," she said.

"Which has been really positive considering we started with just four from that Grassmere team and have just built up around that."

Despite things going well the group is always looking for more players to get involved and training is at Bushfield on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 5.30pm.

"There's normally an under 17 or under 14s girls game going on as well so we get that good environment around it," Elle said.
