Wicket Women
of Beaconsfield
Six years ago, a group of mums, waiting
at the clubhouse for their children to finish
cricket training, decided to pick up a bat
and have a go at the sport themselves.
They started tentatively with a soft ball, but quickly
got into the swing, developing their new found
skills and initiating a whole new women and girls’
section at the club in the process. Fast-forward to
2022 and you will now find almost 150 women
and girls enjoying the sport at Beaconsfield CC,
one of the biggest female sections in the country.
The women’s team has evolved and grown and, if
the start of this season is any indication, they have
become a force to be reckoned with.
This season began with a European tournament
in Spain, with Beaconsfield bringing home the
trophy after defeating Roma in a closely contested
final.
In May, they began their campaign in the Home
Counties Women’s Cricket League Super 8s
Development competition, beating all comers on
the way to a spectacular win against Ampthill in
the final.
With two trophies already in the cabinet, the
team moves on to the 11 a-side Home Counties
competition. We wish them well!
