A WOMEN’S wall has been put up at Delacombe Park Cricket Club, celebrating the achievements and milestones reached by the club’s women and girls.
Allira Read is on the club’s girls team, which played its second season this year. She said that initiatives like the wall will “make a real difference and make it easier for women to join the club”.
“Seeing the wall would make me feel like I can do it. It gives women the best opportunity to play and to help the club out,” she said.
Bill Mallinson from the cricket club was one of the organisers of the project. He said the opening “will be remembered for years to come as a significant day in the fight for recognition and opportunity for girls and women.”
International Women’s Day was marked last week on 8 March.
