Girls across Munster’s youth teams prepare to meet their cricket idols this weekend when Ireland take on Australia in the ODI series this summer.
They are delighted to be invited as mascots by Cricket Ireland, because it gives them an opportunity to meet these talented world class players in person. The girls excitedly tell us that they can’t wait to get close to the Irish and Australian women who they have watched play many times on TV.
Such experiences really matter because it ensures that they start to aim high. If they can see it, then they can believe it, and progress their own cricketing dreams!
Munster Cricket Union is encouraging all Clubs in the Union to positively encourage girls to participate in cricket to build the presence of the girls and women’s game across the Union. Please get in touch if you would like to get to know more about the initiatives your club can take to assist in making sure girls and women are given an opportunity to also pursue their cricketing dreams.
