Girls’ Cricket Season 2025

Mr Lydon, Teacher of English and Head of Girls Cricket, reflects on the 2025 season: 

It has been another successful season for girls’ cricket at Trinity, with yet more firsts and history-making events for the school. The girls were an absolute pleasure to coach – they have such a positive attitude and forged a wonderfully supportive team spirit from the first net session to the final match. 

The highlight of the girls’ cricket season was undoubtedly the inaugural fixture against the MCC (pictured above). The team managed to earn a creditable draw against one of the world’s oldest cricket clubs, thanks to a heroically defiant partnership between Lower Sixth students Paris and Zara.  

In the final fixture of the season, against Langley, sisters Maggie and Anna set a school record opening partnership of 84, before Tilly took the first ever hat trick by a Trinity girl.   

Paris bowled and batted with flair all year, as did Amira. Hollyann continued to open the bowling with good pace and accuracy. Maggie captained with skill and top scored with the bat. Maya was outstanding with the ball and in the field. Lucy twice set the school record for highest individual score.  

Tilly, having never played cricket before this season, emerged as our strike bowler and received a special MCC cap for her outstanding catch in that fixture. Zara was a revelation as wicket keeper and reliable top order batter. 

To think that most of the team had not played a game of cricket before this 2025 season is remarkable. Our season was bookended with wins over Langley, and the improvement from the first to the last fixture was astounding. Well done to all, we look forward to next season!
