EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical photograph captures a moment in time at St. Brides Institute in 1905, where female members of the club are seen utilizing the indoor cricket nets during the winter season. The unique setting for this cricket practice involved planking over the swimming pool of the club, showcasing the innovative use of space by these women cricketers.
In summer months, when cricket season was over, the flooring would be removed and swimming activities would recommence in this area. This dual-purpose space highlights not only the dedication of these women to their sport but also their adaptability and resourcefulness in making use of limited facilities.
The image provides a glimpse into a different era of women's participation in sports, shedding light on a lesser-known aspect of sporting history. It serves as an important reminder of how far we have come in terms of gender equality and opportunities for female athletes.
Overall, this illustration is not just a visual representation but also an important piece of historical documentation that showcases the determination and passion of these early women cricketers at St. Brides Institute.
