ELEVEN girls aged between 8 and 11 years old from Wellington and Taunton took part in a girls-only ECB Dynamos Holiday Camp at Wellington Cricket Club on Friday, 29 May, writes David Derrick.

The three-hour session was delivered by the Somerset Cricket Foundation and supported by Isla Hendy and Sheena Grinter from Wellington Cricket Club.

Throughout the morning, the girls enjoyed a range of cricket activities, developing their batting, bowling and fielding skills before finishing with a fun match.

The camp forms part of ongoing efforts to encourage more girls to get involved in cricket and provides a pathway into regular cricket club sessions.

Wellington Cricket Club's weekly ECB Dynamos programme starts on Friday evenings from 26 June and is open to young players looking to learn the game in a fun and welcoming environment.
