Ep 24: Levelling the Playing Field for Girls, with Patrick William-Powlett

This week we chat with Patrick William-Powlett, chair at South Shields Cricket Club. We hear how Patrick has empowered club coaches to provide an abundance of hardball opportunities for juniors regardless of gender, and in particular how South Shields CC have pro-actively energised their girls section, whilst simultaneously nurturing relationships with local schools. Enjoy the show!
