Sorry Cricket again Picked to play for England

Posted by Allan Campbell on 16/8/2024, 22:25:24

Our granddaughter has been picked to play for England U 19’s at the end of the month. Against Three other countries, one of which is India. I think England have three teams playing the 3 countries all in one day I think.

She is a good batter and canny bowler plus wicket keeper.

It’s all a learning curve for the young players.

To get picked she has been playing at Oakham, Rutland, plus at Loughborough Uni ground.

One of the teams is the West Indies not India another Ireland.

All part of the learning/ teaching process.

Next week all the I think 49 girls will be split into various teams and swapped around. All for experience.

Then things shut down for the winter games wise just training.

The girls back at school or college.

Its great to hear when our children & grandchildren do well in Life. well done to your Grand Daughter Allan.

My two youngest grandchildren have been 'Kick Boxing' for quite a few years and they are Black Belts now.
I think its marvellous cos I went to Judo as a 16 yr old at the 'White Hut' and never attained a belt. (But onle because the 2 men who ran the club packed it in).

Big congratulations to your grand daughter. As a PE teacher I had an A and a B team at Woodville High School. I also played in my Uni. team (Adelaide) in the 1960s.

Congratulations & very well done to your granddaughter Allan. You all must be very proud of her. It’s great when we see our grandkids doing well in life & more so to see our girls doing so well in traditionally male dominated sports. Now the real travelling starts for her parents (& you) as the opposition gets further afield, they’re obviously dedicated. Let’s hope she goes from strength to strength.

Eastbourne, Loughborough, Leeds, Beverly plus two other places.

Her parents take her from home to Headingley Ground for team coach and then they go head to wherever and then it’s the reverse.

A lot of miles being clocked up by them.

But it’s got to be done for her to get anywhere in the sport hopefully.

She is good. I understand one of the top two for her age for Northern Diamonds Academy U19’s and she is 16 1/2.

As soon as she could hold a cricket bat her Dad started her training. He was a good player when young.

She has dropped both Netball and hockey, don’t know if she will get back into them as she has left school and starts at Headingley Collage attached to the ground.

Today she and her Dad are playing in a match north of Ripon a charity thing I think as they have done for a few years.

There must be loads o.f youngsters that loose out as their parents cannot ferry them about if they are at County level. Sham really.
