GoGirls' CricketGo Girls Cricket is a basic cricket and fundamental motor skills programme for girls in Year 4-6.

Our team competed against other GoGirl school teams in the area, giving them the opportunity to show off their skills. Well done girls! This is a fantastic initiative for girl sport. Thank you Bay of Plenty Cricket.
