phal 22 Aug 12:07pm, 22 Aug 2024 4,918 posts	0 phal Brilliant @Nicholls595 😀 (Bizarrely and nothing had been said previously to her, but mum mentioned yesterday that the president of the cricket section had been talking to her and asked if she thought it would be worth them putting the feelers out for starting a women’s side. Basically the ECB will throw more money at them if they do - I suggested she said to him to start some taster sessions and see what the response was….let’s see…)
NDWDave 22 Aug 12:13pm, 22 Aug 2024 19,925 posts	0 NDWDave Miss NDW goes to a girls school and this summer they installed some artificial wickets on one of the fields. They still play some rounders but cricket has taken over as one of the main sports. I suspect there will be a lot more girls playing in 5-10 years time
