Friday 13 March 2026 Girls’ U13 Indoor Cricket On Tuesday, 10th March, the girls’ u13 indoor cricket team played in the North Lancashire finals at Bolton Arena. Having only played one game in qualification, the girls were lacking in match experience, but what they lacked in experience they certainly made up for in enthusiasm. They played three matches against some very experienced schools, and despite not winning a game they grew in confidence and made it a tight finish in the final match! A huge well done to all the girls involved, they should be so proud of their effort, application, and enthusiasm throughout.

Friday 13 February 2026 U13 Girls - Indoor Cricket On Thursday, 12th February, the girls’ U13 indoor cricket team played against Our Lady's, with the winner going through to represent Preston in the Lancashire finals in March. With many of the girls being new to cricket, we played a practice game first and Broughton won by 1 run! A very close encounter, and although Broughton bowled extremely well, it was clear Our Lady's had some excellent batting power at the top of the order. Next up was the qualifying game, so Broughton knew in order to win, they would have to limit the runs of the opening batters. Broughton went into bat full of confidence, with Maddie Monaghan and Charlotte Fitzgibbon smashing the ball out to get Broughton off to an excellent start. This continued through the middle order with Ambreen Valli, and Broughton posted a strong score of 50 runs.
