Milford Girls Cricket, which started with homemade videos during the first Lockdown last year, has grown from strength to strength and was celebrated with an end of season Grand Finale event at Barnes Lane Recreation Ground last Friday.

The 21 Milford schoolgirls split into their two usual training teams – the Heys and the Hoes (named after Rachael Heyhoe Flint, the former English Women’s Captain) and played an exciting 20 over match, loudly cheered on by friends and family.
The match went to the wire with a narrow win for the Heys and was followed by an Awards ceremony and BBQ, organised by the parents.
The Milford girls have achieved much in the last 16 months. From complete novices, nine have played District Cricket, with two featuring in the U11 Hampshire Girls squad. Five Y4 Milford schoolgirls were crowned Hampshire U9 Champions a couple of weeks ago and earlier in the summer eight of the U11s became Hampshire Champions or Runners-up in both softball and hardball.
