ECB Womens Big Cricket Month
Alice Acklam 12 first began her cricket journey at 5-years-old attending the Beverley Town CC Monday Night Softball sessions, with her family encouraging her to give it a go and that it’s a sport for all.
From being involved with cricket down at the club this has seen and great impact on Alice’s school- life and seen improved social skills, been part of a club/team as well as given her insight into a healthy lifestyle as well as her most important creating friendships and then subsequently seeing her friends on a regular basis.
Alice’s vision for future involvement would be to one day play for Yorkshire Ladies or participate in women’s senior cricket at Beverley as she says the best thing about being involved is that “I just love cricket and been down at the club”.
Ian Goff, Junior Co-ordinator outlined “Alice has been a massive influence on other girls within the community and at the club. From Alice taking the jump into cricket many others have followed and the club now boasts 20 girls regularly attending Monday Night Softball training as well as having three teams in the East Yorkshire Primary Girls League on Sundays.”
