Ramsbottom women look to 'bridge the gap' to the men's game after winning their first-ever match in the Lancashire League.
Formed in 1892, it is perhaps the most storied club league in the country and these days, no matter how impressive the achievement, the chances are someone has done it before.
They could hardly have wished for a better start as a five-wicket haul from Shriya Pindoria and Grace Johnson's unbeaten 47 led them to a six-wicket win over Accrington.It is the latest landmark for a side that only came into being in 2020, when under-13 and under-15 girls' teams were established at Ramsbottom Cricket Club."It was 40-over games and T20 games and then we were just playing," Maeve Jones, who captained the team on Saturday, told BBC Sport.
The decision was made to apply to enter the men's league and, in November, their place in division three of the third tier was confirmed. "You end up turning up to games and you’re just fielding because you feel like they don't want you there, or they don't want you to be part of it." Given the positive response to them being admitted into the Lancashire League by "the majority of clubs", the hope is that Ramsbottom can help to enlighten any remaining sceptics with their performances on the pitch.
With many of the team having come through the junior sides, that meant Johnson, at 19, was their most senior player.
