We were thrilled to share the success of our Women and Girls' Softball
Cricket Festival on 27th May. The event was a true celebration of talent, sportsmanship, and
community spirit, leaving everyone with wonderful memories.
The morning
kicked off with seven energetic girls' teams competing > Belhus, Orsett &
Thurrock, Harold Wood, Hadleigh & Thundersley, Upminster and Benfleet. The
girls showcased their impressive skills and passion for cricket, making every
match exciting and competitive. With the weather on our side, the perfect
conditions added to the enjoyment of the day.
In the afternoon, the
festival welcomed 12 women's teams > Belhus, Orsett & Thurrock, Southwark
Park, Hadleigh & Thundersley, Wickford, Hutton, Upminster, Walthamstow, and
Benfleet. Unfortunately, the weather took a turn, and we had to cut the fun
short, managing to get only halfway through the scheduled matches. Despite this,
the teams, their families, and the community enjoyed a pleasant and enjoyable
evening together.
The festival was a fantastic opportunity for players of
all ages to showcase their talents, build camaraderie, and foster a sense of
community. The support from everyone involved was incredible, and we are
grateful to all the teams, their families, and the spectators for making the
event such a memorable one.
Thank you to everyone who participated and
supported the festival. We look forward to hosting more such events in the
coming years and hope to see even more enthusiastic participation.
