Our U13 and U15 girls' section is designed to transition players from junior to senior cricket.

thursday night coaching

The U13 and U15 girls train alongside the ladies on a Thursday night. The coaching team consists of Matt Rushton, Jonathan Ellse, Simon Dye, Aslam Mohammed and Kerry Hilton . Coaching starts on Thursday 25 April and runs every Thursday from 6.30pm and until 8pm with an optional fitness session from 6pm-6:30pm each week. The last coaching session is on Thursday 18 July although matches continue throughout the summer.

The aim of the sessions are to continue to develop skills across all 3 areas of the sport whilst encouraging children to work on specialist skills such as spin bowling or wicket-keeping. Match play and tactical awareness continue to be developed throughout coaching and match play.

The U13 and U15 girls, who wish to play alongside the boys in mixed fixtures are also invited to train on a Monday night from 6:30pm-8pm. These sessions are in addition to Thursday nights.

match play

There are plenty of opportunities for U13 and U15 players of all abilities to play in matches against other clubs depending on ages

U11 Blaze

Girls in Years 7 and 8 who are not selected for county squads are eligible to play in the U11 mixed league. We have entered a dedicated girls team (U11 Blaze) into this league to give girls from Years 5-8 who are deemed strong enough, to play cricket against predominantly boys teams from other clubs. This challenges the girls to extend their cricketing ability whilst also giving them the opportunity to play in an all girls team.

Girls who are selected for county can play up to 1 year down in tier 1 competitions. They are not able to play down in tier 2 competitions.
