A local women’s and girls’ softball cricket team, the Moorland Maidens, trains regularly at our ground, providing an excellent focal point for female participation in the sport. While softball cricket differs slightly from traditional cricket, the team helps foster skills, teamwork, and a love of the game among women and girls in the community. Their presence also presents an opportunity to build on this foundation, encouraging more players to get involved and potentially establishing a pathway towards forming a full women’s and girls’ cricket program in the future. With continued support and promotion, the Moorland Maidens could become a central part of growing the sport locally and inspiring the next generation of female cricketers.
