CRICKET NSW GIRLS & WOMENβS WEEK | GENERATIONS OF CRICKET, ONE COMMUNITY
Her Game Grows at GDCC when a love of cricket is passed down through generations. π
At Glenorie District Cricket Club, we know cricket is about family, friendships, community and a love of the game that brings people together.
This Girls & Womenβs Week, weβre celebrating a very special cricketing legacy within our own GDCC family.
Our Junior Coordinatorβs late mum, Judy, was a talented cricketer who represented both NSW and Victoria, and even made the final cut for the World Cup team.
Long before todayβs opportunities for girls and women in cricket, Judy was out there playing, competing and helping pave the way for those who followed. The historic newspaper clippings pictured here captures Judy as a young cricketer, reminding us how far the womenβs game has come and of the passionate women who helped shape it. Together, these images of Judy's successes, and pictured with her daughter (Jenny) and grandson (Ryan) tell a lovely story of how cricket can connect generations of the same family, creating memories and a shared love of the game that lives on.
Judy sadly passed away just a few weeks ago, but her love of cricket lives on through her daughter, whose own passion for the game now drives her involvement in our club and her commitment to supporting the next generation of junior cricketers.
Itβs a beautiful example of what community cricket is all about: a shared love of the game, lasting connections and people giving back so the next generation can enjoy the same opportunities.
Every coach, coordinator, volunteer, parent and player contributes to that story. And every girl who picks up a bat or ball helps write the next chapter.
This week, we celebrate Judy and the many women who paved the way, the girls and women playing today, and the families who continue to make cricket such a special part of our community.
β€οΈ Rest peacefully, Judy. Your legacy lives on.
