S12 Ep 5 - Breaking Boundaries: The Rise of Thames Fusion Girls' Cricket

The RG10 Podcast - featuring the people, places and events of interest across our area of the Thames Valley

In this inspiring episode, we delve into the world of women’s cricket with a special focus on the Thames Fusion team. We discuss the unique challenges young female cricketers face, including the competition with other sports and limited playing opportunities. Discover how the Thames Fusion initiative, born from a collaboration between Sonning Cricket Club, Reading Cricket Club, and Wargrave Cricket Club, is changing the landscape for girls in cricket.

We hear from Ally Holloway, one of the key figures behind Thames Fusion, who shares the chaotic yet rewarding journey of creating more opportunities for young girls to play cricket. Meet two promising young cricketers, Hayley and Shrisha, who share their personal experiences of transitioning from mixed-gender teams to playing in a dedicated girls' team. Hayley, who recently moved from South Africa to the UK, talks about the enhanced opportunities and supportive atmosphere she’s found at Thames Fusion. Shrisha reflects on her growth as a player and the supportive environment fostered by the club.

If you know anyone who is keen to get involved, get in contact with one of the three clubs at Wargrave CC, Reading CC or Sonning CC.
Thames Fusion is sponsored by Goodall-Smith Wealth Management and Wise Owls Childcare.
