A Bradford school’s girls’ cricket team, who were crowned Yorkshire champions in their first year together, have now launched their own academy to help younger pupils to follow in their footsteps.
The girls’ cricket team at Carlton Bolling, in Bradford, have been on a rollercoaster ride since coming together just three years ago.
In their first tournament, the newly formed team won seven out of seven matches against some of the best school sides in Yorkshire to be crowned county champions and they have not looked back.
They have now won three Yorkshire titles, have just been crowned North of England champions and have also been recognised with a string of awards for their achievements.
Now the team of players who achieved this stunning success on the field are looking to pass on what they have learned to new generations of pupils at the school in Undercliffe.
Each week the under 15s team, led by the school’s PE teacher Zaheer Jaffary, host a training session for younger pupils at the school who are trying the sport for the first time.
Around 20 pupils are now learning to play the sport each week.
