We hope that you enjoyed the film now hear more from these converts to cricket...
Hester
Evans- Ford
Ladies
Softball Cricket Captain (Northop Hall Cricket Club)
Hester started playing cricket two years ago after
watching her husband and son play cricket with the attitude of “if they can do
it then I can do it.” She loves being part of the team which includes several
ladies who have not had any previous experience of cricket at all.
Her message to other ladies is “if I can do it then
you can do it!”
“From the first Softball tournament that Northop
Hall CC ran at their family day in 2018, I knew this club would be a fantastic
place for all women and girls to be able to part in the Cricket whether it be
for competitive reason or even for social reasons. Having Hester as their
captain can and will only make the women’s teams grow, passing her enthusiasm
of the game onto the other ladies and girls around the club!”

Hannah
Jones

(Bethesda Cricket Club)
Hannah first started
playing cricket in year 7 at her secondary school and then at her local club
Bethesda who made a link with the school and started to offer girls’ &
Women’s cricket sessions. It was a sport new to her which she wanted to learn
about.
Ann
Griffiths
All
Stars Activator, Player, Junior Coordinator, Welfare Officer & Committee
Member (Montgomery Cricket Club)
Ann has volunteered in cricket for several years
and organised the first Women’s Softball Cricket Festival at Montgomery Cricket
Club in 2019 which saw 20 ladies new to the sport taking part across a variety
of age groups.
Ann’s message to other ladies looking to get
involved in cricket is to “look up your local club and get out there and do
it.”
Bernie
Connelly
Ladies
Captain & Ladies representative on the committee
Dolgellau
Cricket Club
Bernie has been involved in softball cricket since
2017 and loves the game which she calls exciting, fun as well as having given
her the opportunity to learn new skills and play in a team.
“Bernie has been a fundamental member of the
Dolgellau Ladies cricket team, always bringing smiles and laughter with her,
even after falling on her bum. Bernie is exactly the lady that the club needed to
bring more people into the club and progress the game for all!”
