Wiltshire Cricket announce partnership with Her Game Too

Wiltshire Cricket are delighted to announce their partnership with Her Game Too Cricket.

Her Game Too is an organisation set up to tackle sexism and champion women in sport.

On 25th May 2022, HGT partnered with their first cricket clubs and since then the number of partnered clubs has grown!

We at Wiltshire cricket are looking forward to joining the fight against sexism in sport.

We aim to have ‘Report It’ posters up at clubs with a QR code taking you to the ECB reporting page for anyone who wishes to report an incident of sexism in cricket.

Here are some thoughts about the partnership from Paige Caunce (Director of HGT Cricket) and Pete Sykes (Director of Wiltshire Cricket Board)

“We are delighted to say that we are partnering with the Wiltshire Cricket Board ahead of what is set to be a huge cricket season. The Board’s work within the community, engaging a wider audience through cricket and improving their experience of the game, has laid a great foundation and we are looking forward to working together and building on those efforts. The campaign is incredibly encouraged by the enthusiasm shown by the WCB team whilst establishing this partnership and we want to thank them for their continued support.”

Paige Caunce, Director of Cricket at Her Game Too

“At Wiltshire Cricket we care passionately about Cricket being a game for all and most importantly a game in which everyone feels welcome at whatever level and in whatever role they wish to participate. We are committed to driving out all forms of discrimination within the Sport and believe that Cricket should be leading in the ambition to make Sport truly equitable in its opportunities and its culture. With all these things in mind, we are delighted to be partnering with Her Game Too; we fully support the vision, values and mission of the organisation and look forward to working together to drive the future of Women and Girls Cricket in our county “

Pete Sykes, Director of Wiltshire Cricket Board
