Cricket (Girls)

Member of staff i/c: Miss A L Walker

The Girls' Cricket team plays in the Lady Taverners Indoor Tournament during the Lent term and enters the Sussex League in the summer. In recent years the indoor team has won the final at Lords in 2003 & 2004 and in 2007 & 2009 the team won the Sussex round and progressing through to the regional finals. For those girls that have played cricket to a high level, the option to play for the boys' teams is encouraged. Clare Connor OBE, Kate Oakenfold, Laura Marsh, Sarah Taylor and Holly Colvin have all benefited from this and have gone on to represent their country. In 2010, the Girls 1st XI played their inaugural match against Harrow boys and narrowly missed out on a win by 2 runs. The Girls 1st XI regularly play Sussex U17 Girls, The Forty Club, and The MCC each season.

For those girls who are interested in taking their cricket to the highest level the college offers the Clare Connor Cricket Scholarship.
