“ over the last 2-3 years, it’s been a real pleasure to see the growth of interest in the game amongst women and girls cricket in the Ventnor area. So much so that this year we’ll be fielding both Under 11 and Under 15 sides in the Girls Leagues, with some of our players playing in the Open Leagues as well. We work closely with The Island Free School and local primary schools in developing and extending their cricket experience. Now it’s time for the next step up and we have been really pushing Ladies involvement, with increased numbers attending Ladies practise on Thursdays 7-8pm This year we hope to field both a Ladies softball team and a full Ladies XI playing hardball cricket. Our hardball team will mix those with some experience, some enthusiasts and some promising junior talent. We’re looking forward to it.”
Ladies XI
Extending the rapid growth of girls and women’s cricket at Ventnor CC, Season 2024 marks the second year of the club’s Ladies XI. Under the leadership of Ruth Noyes, the team will compete in the Isle of Wight Women’s League for the second time. There it will meet the likes of Arreton, Ryde and Newport CC. Look out for their appearances at Steephill and come and give them a cheer.
