The Falkland girls junior section was started in 2016 by
Neil Rider, the former England Women’s Manager and Coach. Since its inception
it has grown to become the largest girl’s cricket club in Berkshire and
currently has over 90 junior playing members.
All girls are welcome to attend in the summer season
where there are regular training sessions on a Friday evening. High quality
coaching is now led by Tim Colby, the coaching team and an army of volunteers
that make the club work.
The club also run a competitive playing programme for
girls teams at U9 all the way up to U19. Over the last 6 years there has been
lots of success for the Falkland teams both on and off the field, with some
impressive team results.
The club has a thorough coaching programme which has seen
over 30 girls go on and represent Berkshire with 4 also making it in to the
Southern Vipers Academy. We are also extremely proud that our first club
member, Ava Lee, made her professional debut for Southern Vipers in 2023 and go
on to be selected to tour Sri Lanka in 2024 with the England U19 team where she
took 4-19 on debut.
Falkland is a fun, vibrant and friendly club and open to
all girls of all abilities from Year 4 upwards.
