We are the Under 11s, Under 13s and Under 15s Girls cricket teams at Stony Stratford Cricket Club where we want to do our bit to raise money to replace the old and worn out nets. The current nets were first built before many of us were born, so they have had a lot of use!
On Friday 5th July, we'll be joining in with all the other age groups at our club on a huge Sponsorthon evening!
The money we raise from our challenge will go towards helping our club fund a new training facility, but it will also go towards helping us to fund the women's overseas player, who we have invested in this season to inspire future generations of females to play cricket.
We are the only club in north Buckinghamshire to have a dedicated women and girl's section and one of only six in the whole county, and this investment underpins our commitment to growing the girls' game.
Isy Parry is from Otago in New Zealand and is a member of the Otago Sparks squad. She is a top-order batter and also bowls off-spin. Isy is in the New Zealand U19 Development Squad and scored 103no this summer as part of their U19 national tournament. As a qualified coach Isy brings a lot of experience to the whole women and girls section this summer. She joined us in May and will be with us until September for the whole of the women's League season and helping to coach our young females.
Investing in players like this helps to show our juniors what is possible within the game and her involvement seeks to inspire existing and future players.
