Dulwich Ladies CricketFirst National League game for the Ladies Dulwich Ladies' season got off to a shaky start when they were 12 for 3 in their first ever league match away at Spencer. Opening batswomen Sophie Geldard and Lynne Ruddick developed a stable partnership early on, but on this occasion spectators were disappointed when Sophie was bowled by some accurate bowling and Lynne was caught before scoring any runs. However, a steady innings by top-scorer Jacqui Harris Baker, who was supported by some stylish batting from Nicola Kelly and three useful partnerships with Lyndsay Morton, Janet Davies and Annie Underwood, meant that Dulwich recovered well and batted out their 35 overs, reaching a total of 82 runs. The team re-grouped during tea and strode out to the middle purposefully. Their bowling attack got off to a fantastic start, with opener Lyndsay Morton taking a wicket in her first over. She was well supported by Theo Beck and Anne Sage who also took wickets. Some tight bowling from Jane Ball and Jaqui Harris Baker and a fast-paced attack from Harriet Darroch de Haldevang completed the fearsome line-up. The fielding, ably led by new skipper Sophie Geldard, looked sharp at all times and there were two awe-inspiring catches, including a caught and bowled by the youngest member of the team Theo Beck. Despite getting three early wickets, Dulwich Ladies found Spencer to be a tenacious opposition, and after a lengthy partnership built up between batswomen two and five, the match began to slip away from the visitors. However, if the hosts thought this win was going to be easy, they were in for a big surprise. While staring into the jaws of defeat, Dulwich bravely fought back to claim three more wickets, before finally submitting to a four wicket defeat. The visitors were down, but definitely not out, leaving spectators eager to see more of this dynamic new team.

A historic first ever at Dulwich win by the Ladies team
Sun 3rd Aug 2008 home v Wanstead Heronettes 30 over friendly
What a champagne moment….in more ways than one. The Ladies turned up with 13 players, very encouraging, the rain threatened, the visitors turned up with a full team but what happened next was totally unexpected. Amy Donovan, captaining the side in the absence of Anne Sage won the toss. The visitors were put in to bat and could not cope with the Dulwich bowling, all 6 bowlers taking at least one wicket each, the fielding was the best of the season so far, 2 catches (Harriet Darroch de Haldevang and Amy Donovan) stuck and Wanstead Heronettes were bowled out for 62 in exactly 20 overs in this scheduled 30 overs friendly fixture. Dulwich then went in to bat and the opening pair took the visitors bowling apart with an opening partnership by Sophie Geldard and captain Amy Donovan of 61 runs when Sophie fell for 21, Amy was joined by Jacqi Harris-Baker and the winning runs came soon after with Amy carrying her bat for an unbeaten 44 and Jacqui on 1 not out. Just 17.1 overs were required. Every player played their part in this first ever victory for the ladies, catches, fantastic wicket keeping by stand in keeper Janet Davis some great out fielding and economical bowling. After the match, almost in tears, both coaches, Steve Choney and Alan Blackford, treated the team to a champagne celebration with a BBQ to follow. Melissa de Haldevang Co Chair of the Ladies section gave a short speech thanking everyone especially the coaches and those who have worked so hard behind the scenes to help the Ladies development get to this point. The Ladies greatly appreciated John Smith, President of the club coming down to support them and sending out a congratulations email to every one at the club. A few pints in the bar ended the great day. The ladies should take a lot of encouragement from this great break through performance and that it only took 4 matches this season to register the first win.

Sietske Helder. A brief introduction and some background Dulwich Sports club is steeped in history, the cricket section being formed in at least 1867 and possibly even earlier. Other sports played at the Burbage Road ground are Tennis, Squash and Croquet. It is also the base for Dulwich & Honor Oak Hockey Club. In 2004, the first developments came as a local coach and lady cricketer Lara arranged an exhibition session for lady cricketers at the Burbage Road ground and this appears to be the first recorded mention of lady cricketers at the club. However, it was not until 2006 that a new Ladies cricket section became a reality. A warm welcome was extended to the Ladies section from John Smith, the cricket club president and the initial organisers included Jane Parbury, (a qualified cricket coach), Melissa de Haldevang and Jill Davies began the process of developing the section. Players were recruited from within the club, by word of mouth, through links with local schools and the website. Some players came through the Southwark and Surrey youth development programmes. Many arrived new to the game and some players came with previous cricketing experience. Summer net sessions were held at Burbage Road with coaches Keith Dawkins and Steve Choney and Jane Parbury. In the winter nets were run at the new Dulwich College Preparatory school sports hall under the tutorship of Steve Choney. Offers of more coaching assistance were promised by Surrey CC whilst the Lady Taverners generously donated equipment. During this first historic season for the ladies one match was played being a pairs fixture away at Caterham on Sat 24th September 2006 which was won by Caterham. 2007 saw more games and more players The first ladies match at Burbage Road was a 15 overs an innings fixture on the evening of Thursday 21st June 2007 between the ladies cricket section and the hockey section. The bigger hitting Hockey section, who fielded some players with cricketing experience, won by 44 runs. The season ended in great style with the newly formed ladies team braving the A23 on a Sunday morning en route to Surrey for a 24-over pairs match against Caterham Ladies. A terrific performance by the fledgling side with both bat and ball had the result in the balance right up until the last over; unfortunately, some erratic bowling at the death by the skipper (me!) allowed Caterham to take the honours, victors by six runs.
Planning for 2009 The 2009 season promises much as we will see the club entering both an adult in the National Ladies League (Southern Section) and an under 18 team into the recently formed Surrey Trust league.
