COTSWOLDS GIRLS HUB
Cirencester Cricket Club is the host this summer for the Cotswold Girls Hub which is organising two free taster sessions next month for players from Year 5 and up interested in trying the sport for the first time.
These are aimed at girls who are already playing and for those who are interested in trying it for the first time.
No previous experience of cricket is necessary and all levels are welcome to come along for the girls-only sessions on April 18 and April 25 (6-8pm).
Not all clubs offer women and girls cricket, hence the Hub is a great place for players to benefit from additional coaching and the chance to play in matches, while retaining membership of their local club.
