“Games are very social with opposition teams often lending players to even up side numbers.
“The ladies are enjoying themselves and have great attitudes.”
Mr Spiers said in the initial stages there were about four female players.
“After advertising on Facebook we have been able to recruit essentially a new player each week which is fantastic,” he said.
Mr Spiers said the club had an emphasis on the ‘one club’ approach.
“This essentially means all our teams – juniors, seniors, integrated and ladies all come under the same banner,” he said.
“We are inclusive in all aspects and want everyone to have the ability to enjoy and love cricket regardless of their age, ability, gender or skill.
“Our aim not only for women’s cricket but also for junior cricket is to give our players the ability to play cricket for free.”
