Leatherhead
ready for first team action which can be an important
step in the development process.
Another benefit of having extra sides is that it allows
the first XI to benefit from far greater strength in depth.
If they are ever left short on numbers through injury or
work commitments they have the option of calling up
replacements with a limited amount of disruption.
The club also created history recently when they
played their first ever junior girls match against Claygate.
The team are looking to arrange a return fixture and
are also hoping to play a few more friendlies over the
remainder of the season as they look to continue to
develop this section of the club.
They state on their official website www.
leatherheadcc.co.uk, that, “We are very focused on
growing our girl membership over the coming years
and are looking to be able to enter girls teams into
junior league competitions in due course. The planned
development of our training ground over the coming
autumn/winter is an important step of making the club
a more attractive proposition for girls and boys alike and
we think will help us in achieving this aim.”
There is much to admire about the fine set up that
Leatherhead CC currently has in place and if they
continue in the same manner they should be able to
look forwards to a bright and successful future for many
years to come.
