Cricket at St Lawrence
Throughout the winter the U13 & U15 girls trained and competed in the Indoor Eights competition which was previously named ‘The Lady Taverners’. This competition offers 8-a-side indoor cricket to secondary school girls with over 1,800 teams taking part in both of these competitions. Not only did we enter the Indoor 8's but we also entered the newly organised Chance to Compete softball cricket tournament which is designed to attract more girls into playing cricket. The U13B team girls played their Chance to Compete competition on Thursday 16 January and our U15B team girls played their Chance to Compete competition on Thursday 23 January with both competitions being played at Ursuline College. Both teams did themselves proud and should be pleased with their efforts. th rd The main indoor 8's competitions were played on Thursday 13 February (U13A) and Thursday 27 February (U15A) and once again like the B teams, the girls did well. All four teams would have learnt a lot which most certainly helped throughout the summer cricket season. th th
Despite challenges, the girls cricket continues to show promise. Umaiza Malik and Millie Foster are both in the Kent CCC Youth set up and have had a lot of success with both the bat and ball this year. The current Y7 & Y8 girls had a busy schedule this summer with lots of matches and skill based training sessions. The Y9 girls did well and had their successes, and it was great to see a number of that squad represent the 1 XI girls in a few fixtures. st
This would naturally be great for their development and we look forward to seeing their development throughout the next few summer seasons
