Breaking Boundaries with Slough Cricket Club Women and Girls Cricket Festival
Breaking Boundaries is a three-year programme (2018 –2021) funded by Spirit of 2012, supported by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and The Institute of Community Cohesion (Icoco).
We sat down with our partner from Slough Cricket Club Rabbia Akthar who organised a women and girl's mini cricket tournament!
Lockdown this summer meant we weren't able to go all out and we wanted to put an event on for the girls. The youngsters were divided into four teams who then battled it out in a round-robin tournament.
Players had to follow Government guidance with hand sanitiser provided and social distancing observed.
We want the girls to be able to play in a safe and fun environment so they keep coming back for more. There's so many mental health and social issues going on around COVID-19 so it's so important to get them outside and playing cricket.
