Cricket East

Phil said: “This role is an area of cricket I am hugely passionate about and focuses on two key areas within the Women and Girls game.

“On the Performance side, I have an overall responsibility for developing the Girls County Age Group Programme across both Huntingdonshire and Bedfordshire helping to shape the future performance programme for girls across the two counties and open up opportunities for talented girls to progress along pathway towards, hopefully England one day! In addition to this, I have a role in the administrative support of the entire pathway for both boys and girls across both counties.

“On the participation side, there are several exciting developments coming through from the ECB to get more women and girls playing. I will be working with clubs within Huntingdonshire that have or aspire to have a Women and Girls section at the club. I will also lead on other initiatives including Women’s Soft Ball Festivals, Schools Programmes, Lady Taverners events, Junior Girls Leagues and also senior Women’s League Cricket – and much more I am sure!

“Anyone who knows me will know that this is something I have been working towards for some time – so I will be throwing all my energy into it to help the Women and Girls game grow in the area. So, clubs and schools, please do get in touch!”
