Himley Cricket Women and Girls

🏏 End of Season Festival at Worcester CCC 🏏

Today we travelled down to Worcester CCC for an end-of-season festival hosted by Worcester, followed by the opportunity to watch England take on Ireland in the ODI. Hopefully, the girls who stayed on to watch enjoyed the experience as much as we did!

The festival consisted of five teams after one team unfortunately didn’t make it, with every team playing three games. Our games were against Worcester Street, Alvechurch and Swindon — and we managed to win all three! 🙌

With the ball, we bowled really well, with all 11 players getting the opportunity to bowl, and it was fantastic to see Georgia take her first wicket. A couple of the Worcester coaches mentioned to me afterwards how impressed they were with our bowling, but that was backed up by some excellent fielding too. We took some great catches and produced some brilliant run outs, including three in one game from Arrianne! 👏

With the bat, we scored 78 against Street, 56 against Alvechurch and around 60 against Swindon, all from just eight overs. Even better, we only lost six wickets across the entire day. There were plenty of great shots on show, including some huge sixes from Emilia, Katy and Aiyat! 💥🏏💛💙

Most importantly, it was fantastic to see the team spirit once again. The girls supported each other throughout the day, and the noise and encouragement from our travelling army of parents was brilliant as always. ❤️

It really has been a great season. Finishing 2nd in the league The huge amount of development we've seen from the girls, gives us plenty to be proud of.

A massive well done to every player who has contributed to what has been a fantastic season. You should all be incredibly proud of yourselves. 👏👏

And finally, a huge thank you to all the parents for the continued support, travelling, encouragement and everything you do behind the scenes. It genuinely makes such a difference.

What a way to finish the season! 💛 💙🏏

🏏 Himley Girls close the season with a brilliant win at HQ against Walsall! 💪👏

A great opportunity to give some of the girls a chance to move up the batting order, build confidence with the ball, and gain some valuable senior cricket experience.

And what a performance from the girls! 🌟

🎯 Bowling & fielding

Young Katie looked immense with the ball, bowling four overs and putting in some great fielding as well.

Millie took 2 wickets from her 2 overs, while Jess also picked up 2 wickets from her 2 overs before finishing off the batting with an impressive 14 runs — and she looked like she was only just getting started!

Cat bowled well, and Holly took a fantastic catch on debut off her bowling. 👏

Erin bowled brilliantly and picked up her first senior wicket, LBW — a fantastic achievement! 🎉

Molly also chipped in with 1 wicket from her 2 strong overs.

🏏 With the bat

The sisters opened together for the first time in hardball cricket and gave us a fantastic start.

Izzy scored 14 and Millie 11, with some brilliant running between the wickets. The partnership showed great confidence and maturity.

Jess and Holly then saw the game through to secure the win. 🙌

A fantastic team performance and so lovely to see the younger girls thriving out on the pitch, growing in confidence and showing just how much potential they have.

🏆 PLAYER OF THE MATCH — MILLIE! 🏆
