“ If you say women and girls cricket in Hereford , Anna Robertson ’ s name is the first that comes to mind . She coaches and manages all three county teams , u11 , u13 and u15 , as well as playing for Brockhampton and helping organise fixtures for them , she does this in her spare time , as she teaches at the blind college . She has been an amazing role model for the young girls of Hereford for many years now .” Jodie Slater , Herefordshire

“ Promila Raina is this year the lead coach for Cavalier ’ s All Stars Programme - where she plans , organises and guides the other volunteer coaches during the sessions , and plays an important role in Cavalier ’ s effort to serve the community during these unprecedented times . We at Cavaliers fervently feel that Promila ’ s efforts , dedication and commitment is worth a recognition .” Annanth Kumar , Cavaliers Cricket Academy
“ Ellen McGowan has included girls in her u11s team and also been working hard alongside other coaches to increase both girls u13 and u15 opportunities . She has inspired others to play in our senior ladies side and is a true asset to the club !” Matt Owen , Upton CC

“ Jenna Waiser joined the women ’ s team a few years back and was an absolute breath of fresh air . She quickly got stuck in with helping to run the team and recruiting new players . This year in particular she has been amazing , she identified the need for a regular coach to take the women ’ s soft ball cricket training , got qualified , went out recruiting and has inspired new players to join the club and play cricket .” Helen Crawley , Chesham CC .
“ Sidra Khan is a fantastic role model for young girls across Gloucestershire . She has been working alongside girls from the South Asian Muslim community on a Dynamo ’ s project . With over 50 Girls attending each session it really is something behold . She runs an enthusiastic and engaging session meaning that more girls return week on week . Being female from a South Asian background she is a true inspiration to the young girls , who would normally face barriers in accessing this type of activity . If you can ’ t see it you cant be it !!” Laura Charles-Price , Gloucestershire

“ Recently we delivered two female-only courses , both of which Chris Fox led and both of which received glowing reviews and feedback . Not content with just delivering the courses , Chris has led a discussion on further supporting the female candidates post-course with ongoing support and shadowing , to further aid their development and experience , something we ’ ve linked in with the county ’ s development team . There is no worthy recipient of recognition than Chris , a man who ’ s modest , quiet , softly spoken , yet passionate about all things coach education and growing the game to participants who otherwise may not get the chance .” Matt Parsons , Sussex
