Girls Cricket Festival at Accrington

A fantastic morning of cricket saw our Under 9s girls take part in the Girls Cricket Festival at Accrington Cricket Club, playing three matches in great spirit and enjoying a really positive experience throughout.

The focus of the day was participation, enjoyment and development, and all of the girls represented the club brilliantly across a busy set of fixtures.

Match Results

Game 1: Leyland 54 – Lowerhouse 30

Game 2: Lowerhouse 24 – Clitheroe 24

Game 3: Lowerhouse 34 – Enfield 13

That left the group with a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss across the morning.

Squad Effort

With a squad of 10 players available, the emphasis was on rotation and making sure everyone got meaningful time in the middle. Each player featured in at least two games, ensuring all the girls stayed fully involved across the festival.

There were no individual scores recorded, but the effort, teamwork and enthusiasm shown by all the players was excellent throughout.

Thank You

A big thank you goes to all the girls for their attitude, energy and commitment across the morning.

Special thanks also go to Amanda Taylor for her brilliant help with the girls’ game, including scoring and supporting the team throughout. It is very much appreciated by everyone at the club.

A really enjoyable festival and another great step forward for the junior girls section.
