Presenters were Phil Lewin from Abbots Langley Cricket Club (representing the 2014 winners), Jonathan Cirkel from Knebworth Park CC (representing the 2013 winners) and Andy Knill-Jones from St Albans CC (Audrey Collins SI League Co-ordinator and Girls Coach). Andy said that he believed the League and competition had been a catalyst for the girls\u2019 cricket. A particular highlight were the excellent presentations by Lucy and Evie from Abbots Langley CC \u2013 both are wonderful role models for the game. From the presentations and the Q &amp; A afterwards we heard how playing competitive cricket had helped the girls\u2019 personal development as well as developing their cricketing skills i.e. confidence, teamwork, focus and social skills. We also heard how our sponsorship of the all girls coaching programme across Herts\/Beds\/Cambs will be running at the end of this year, and next year \u2013 female coaches develop life skills in the process, and provide role models for sporting excellence.<\/p>\n<p>It is great to know that girls&#8217; cricket is a national priority and that we have been able to assist in its development in Hertfordshire. We feel sure that Audrey would be very proud.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/st-albans-and-district\/files\/56-GirlsCricketNov14web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" alt=\"56-GirlsCricketNov14web\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/st-albans-and-district\/files\/56-GirlsCricketNov14web-300x240.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a>After the talks everyone celebrated with refreshments and delicious cupcakes.
