Milford Girls Cricket Club

The Milford Girls Cricket teams started when Carolyn Brown and some other local coaches made a number of homemade cricket videos during the first Covid Lockdown in March 2020, and then invited Milford on Sea Primary School to form some girls cricket teams. Since then, the teams have grown from strength to strength.

The teams play at Barnes Lane Recreation Ground and train weekly during the season to play in three teams; The Heys, The Hoes and The Flints (named after Rachael Heyhoe Flint, the former English Women’s Captain).

In the first two seasons, from complete novices, nine girls played District Cricket, with two featuring in the U11 Hampshire Girls squad. Five Y4 Milford schoolgirls were crowned Hampshire U9 Champions, and eight of the U11s became Hampshire Champions or Runners-up in both softball and hardball.

Milford on Sea Primary School also won the Girls Dynamos Cricket Hampshire County Final after taking a staggering 10 wickets at the Ageas Bowl on Tuesday 28th June 2022.

In 2023, the three Milford on Sea Primary School teams entered the New Forest School Sports Partnership Girls Dynamo Cricket Tournament held at Calmore Cricket Club on Thursday 25th May. They each won all of their final matches, securing a clean sweep of 1st places and Gold Medals for Milford on Sea.

At the same tournament, and for the second year in a row, The Heys brought back the NFSSP trophy and qualified for the Hampshire County Finals to be played on 20th June 2023 at the Ageas Bowl.

Since then the girls have kept winning.
