THERE was yet more success for Ely bowlers last week when Ellen Falkner helped England to victory in the Women's Home International Series.

And Falkner revealed how sweet the victory was for the team. She said: "We finished third last year so it was fantastic that we regrouped and responded so well.
"It is a tremendous achievement for the team to turn a negative into a positive."
