Following on from the hugely successful girls-only cricket sessions that Ampthill Town Cricket Club ran during the summer, they have formed their first ever ladies’ team.
On Sunday 16 September the Ampthill Ladies played an inter-club, pink ball, coloured clothing T20 match.
Ampthill’s very own youth product Bethany Lunnon bowled the first ball of the Ladies era and the crowd were treated to some excellent cricket, which included a swashbuckling 32 not out from Sarah Ward, in a hugely supportive atmosphere with experienced players helping others who had come along to try cricket out for the first time.
Ampthill Ladies will be playing in the Four Counties Women’s Cricket League next summer and you can follow them on Twitter.
