Girls Summer Cricket Practices
Summer practices have been held on Sunday mornings at North Midd’s ground in Crouch End which has modern nets and great playing surfaces. All girls cricket practices were led by ECB Level Two coaches, and are supported by the clubs Head Coach and Juniors Secretary.

What’s Next?
We are also actively exploring how best to continue development of our older Girls. Medium term we are interested in becoming involved in Women’s Cricket and in the shorter term are talking to Middlesex about U17 cricket. Next summer we want to continue to grow by providing coaching that is tailored for the girls and women’s abilities.
