  • making history at Lord's

    Published 20/08/24

    A return to the hallowed turf at Lord’s cricket ground for Izzy Moors and Abi Shaw-Hales, two leading lights of the Gordon’s girls’ cricket team and Valley End Cricket Club, who also turn out for the MCC Foundation Guildford Hub.

    The Guildford Hub, one of 126 hubs in the UK to take part in the MCC National Hub Competition, once again reached the finals at Lord’s with Abi Shaw-Hales captaining the side once more.

    After a thrilling encounter, Guildford beat Bradford by four wickets, becoming the first team in the history of the competition to win two consecutive finals! The girls were presented with their medals by England Captain Heather Knight.

    Reflecting on the lead up to the finals, Abi said: “We had a strong team again this year, and were hopeful that we could do it.  Due to rain and concessions, we didn't play as many game as in previous years though”. 

    She paid tribute to Izzy’s contribution to the final score, for her “great bowling” which kept the opposition’s run rate low and described captaining a “great team” as the “highlight”.

    She added: “There is always an excitement about walking out onto the pitch at Lords - something you never forget.  It was nerve wracking as we were going in as defending champions.  Our opposition had won the competition in 2021, so we knew it would be a tough match.  We wanted to be the first team to win it in two consecutive years!”
