Cricket East
Junior Girls League
The first round of the Huntingdonshire Girls U11 Softball league got underway on 19 May and was a roaring success – eight teams for across the Counties were all playing in two festivals held at Nassington and Eaton Socon Cricket Clubs.
The festivals not only gave the girls an awesome cricketing experience it was also a positive learning curve for those clubs new to girls’ cricket on how to run and administer their teams on a festival day.
Such was the positivity, there have been multiple requests for more Girls Festival days to be added to the calendar (there will be so watch this space!).
Many thanks to the representatives of our eight teams – Barnack, Nassington, Peterborough Town, Houghton & Wyton, Eaton Socon, Waresley, Kimbolton and Bedford Town for their support and enthusiastic involvement! Special mention to Houghton & Wyton whose girls embraced the occasion with the all the team coming with face paints to add some extra glitz to the Northern Festival!
The Girls U13 hardball competition is also up and running with the first couple of rounds complete – lots of new girls to the game giving it a go and coming out of the games with a hugely positive experience.
