Gresford Cricket Club Women’s and Girls’ Section have been awarded £8444 by Sport Wales’ Be Active Wales Fund to help them develop a women’s and girls’ section with training and coaching equipment . The initiative is designed to increase the number of women and girls in cricket regardless of previous experience just with the motivation to have a go. Anyone interested should contact justineparry8@gmail.com or Gresford Cricket Club website.
By distributing money from The National Lottery, the Be Active Wales Fund offers clubs grants to get more people participating, or to help keep people taking part at clubs and activities into the future. 
John Bell (Club Secretary) said: “This funding will make a massive difference for our club.  We hope to use it to ensure our club is developing cricket for women and girls in our community which will no doubt attract more people to reap the benefits of sport that our existing members already enjoy.”
