Cricket is a strategic, skillful bat-and-ball game that blends patience, precision, and teamwork. Played with two teams of 11, the aim is to score runs by hitting the ball and running between wickets, while the fielding team tries to bowl players out. It’s a sport that rewards focus, technique, and smart decision-making — and nothing beats the thrill of a well-timed boundary or a game-changing wicket.
Our Women’s Cricket Club welcomes players of all abilities, whether you’ve played for years or are just starting out. We train regularly, compete in student competitions, and pride ourselves on a friendly, inclusive team spirit both on and off the pitch.
Get involved — it’s not just about the game, it’s about being part of something bigger.

LJMU Women’s Cricket Club is an inclusive and fast-growing team that welcomes players of all abilities and backgrounds. Whether you’ve played cricket for years or have never picked up a bat before, we’re here to help you learn, grow, and enjoy the game. Now entering our second year, we've already built a strong foundation and are excited to continue developing both on and off the pitch.
We train every Sunday from 3pm to 5pm at the SLB Sports Building, with sessions led by our fantastic ECB Level 2 coach. Our upcoming 2024/25 season marks an exciting milestone as we prepare to compete in BUCS for the very first time. This is a great opportunity to be part of a team making history and shaping the future of women’s cricket at LJMU.
We’re a friendly and supportive group of women with a shared love for the game and a strong sense of team spirit. Our members range from total beginners to players with years of experience, and everyone is encouraged to learn at their own pace. Our coach is approachable, knowledgeable, and committed to helping every player develop their skills and confidence. If you’ve ever been curious about cricket but didn’t know where to start, this is the perfect place for you. It’s never too late to try something new, meet new people, and get involved in a growing sport.
