GIRLS CRICKET
HKHDCA
is committed to developing girls’ interest, skills and love of cricket from the
earliest age through to club competition and representative level.
At
HKHDCA there is no such thing as a girl's sport or boy's sport - there is opportunity
for all. Cricket Australia, Cricket NSW and
local associations are focusing on encouraging girls to join in the fun of
cricket.

shared!). Also, a water bottle and sunscreen, please.
