In the 2018/19 season, I coached a mixed u10 team, 3 players in that team were girls. Those same girls are still playing cricket today in u15. I hope I have played a small role in helping them enjoy their cricket.

My proudest moment is when I watched one of my girls bowl a ball that hit the opposition batter. She stopped the game, apologised, consoled her opponent, coached her opponent with batting technique and where to stand and then continued the game.
