Menheniot Cricket Club is proud to announce the successful completion of the second week of its Girls Dynamos Activation Project, an exciting initiative aimed at inspiring young girls to develop a lifelong love for cricket. This program, funded by the England Cricket Board (ECB) and facilitated by the Cornwall Cricket Board (CCB), is providing free cricketing opportunities across four clubs in close proximity within Cornwall.

The Menheniot sessions, held at the Menheniot Community Hall, have so far been a resounding success, with two 90-minute sessions completed and two more scheduled to take place on Fridays before Christmas, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM.

Two additional clubs, Tideford Cricket Club and Saltash Cricket Club, have joined this groundbreaking project, with efforts underway to establish a fourth venue, which is expected to be finalised and advertised before the festive season.

At Menheniot, coaches Dylan, Yasmin, and Mark have been instrumental in delivering dynamic and engaging activities for the six enthusiastic participants. These sessions combine adaptive games and skill-building drills focused on striking, fielding, bowling, and running between wickets. Over the next two weeks, the participants will transition these skills into game scenarios to develop a holistic understanding of the sport.

The Girls Dynamos Activation Project aligns with the broader goal of nurturing and expanding women’s and girls’ cricket in Cornwall. By creating accessible opportunities and fostering enthusiasm, Menheniot Cricket Club and its partner clubs are helping to inspire a new generation of Cornish female cricketers.
