Women's and Girls' Cricket in Wales
We have over 100 clubs who have a women's and/or girls' section running across Wales in 2024.
In 2024 we have 6 teams playing within our Premier hardball league, 10 teams within our hardball division 1 and 77 teams involved in the women's softball league.
With more girls playing cricket than ever before in Wales - we continue to have lots of opportunities for girls across each region including Girls only Dynamos sessions, Girls club teams at U11,U13 & U15 plus a structured pathway programme for girls to aspire to be involved in as well as the opportunity to represent Wales at a national level and beyond
