Celebrating 150 years of Australian women’s cricket
Source : Cricket Australia LinkedIn
Earlier this year in March, the City of Greater Bendigo, Cricket Victoria and many others helped celebrate the special anniversary of the first women’s cricket match, which was played at the Bendigo Easter Fair in 1874 at Camp Hill (now known as Rosalind Park).
It was a tremendous day that saw Australian cricket stars Cathryn Fitzpatrick and Kelly Applebee host a special all-girls’ cricket clinic alongside an exhibition T20 match to mark the occasion.
With us being in the middle of Women and Girls Week, we wanted to once again acknowledge all the efforts from volunteers that went into celebrating 150 years of women’s cricket in Australia and helping us celebrate our magnificent sport.
