Cublington Cricket Club
(Girls Section) In 2002 we had 11 girls aged 11-16 years at the club. They managed to play one match (mixed ages) against Aylesbury girls X1 and won! A few of the girls take part in the boys cricket leagues and do very well in their own age groups. We are hoping to enter a local girls league in 2003 with a mixed age team 11-16. It would be great to get more girls down to play and we are always looking for more to join us. We have good coaching and training programmes and have a level 1 female coach, who is very enthusiastic. We also have 10 qualified male coaches. Practice takes place on Saturday mornings, 9:30 - 11:15 starting on the 26th April until the 19th July.
