Girls Cricket at Halswell
We welcome any new female players thinking of giving cricket a go. We have girls only teams from School Year 5 onwards and are huge supporters of Canterbury Cricket in wanting to expand the Girls competition. Girls in School Years 1-4 are welcome to play in our softball grades which are mixed teams. If numbers permit we can have all-girl team in Years 3 and 4 and this team can play in the new Mini Mags all-girls competition. Year 5 upwards also play in an all-girls competition.
From Year 9 onwards teams are entered into the Girls Youth competition – Div 2 is for Year 9-10s. Div 1 is for girls over 16 years old.
