We have a long history of sporting success and talent at LWC and we are proud to announce that Gemma Lane has become the second Sternian to play women’s professional cricket!
Gemma follows the success of Finty Trussler (Southern Vipers), both former Haygate girls. Gemma was signed by Western Storm and made her debut in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy a few weeks ago.
Headmaster Adam Williams commented;
“Girls’ cricket has been flourishing here for many years now, whether just starting out in this wonderful game through to playing at elite level. LWC are also delighted to be so committed in supporting girls’ and women’s cricket in the North Hampshire region, notably at club level, with clubs such as the terrific Odiham and Greywell CC, being closely connected through our provision of coaches, sponsorship or facilities. The future is bright for this remarkable game (and notably the women’s game), and we love being able to play a small part in that…
Excitingly, we also have a remarkable wave of superb female cricketers coming through the school now at all ages, moving into a world where so many opportunities lie ahead for them in and around the game.”
