Women’s 1st XI Captain: Zoe Hainsworth
Hayes (Kent) CC is well known for its contribution to women’s cricket. A pioneer of the women’s game in this country since 1995, the club has a long history of producing Cricketers who have gone onto County, Regional and International success.
From Lydia Greenway and Lynsey Askew, to current stars of England and The Hundred, Tash Farrant (England, Surrey & Oval Invincibles), Ryana McDonald-Gay (England, Surrey/Oval Invincibles), Phoebe Franklin (Surrey / Oval Invincibles) and Alexa Stonehouse (Surrey/Trent Rockets), to name but a few. With Ryana being selected for the most recent women’s ashes in Australia, and again being selected for England A alongside Alexa in 2025
Alongside developing international talent, we have a thriving women’s and girls’ section, with U9, U11, U13 and U15 teams regularly taking the field in fixtures against local opposition in soft and hard ball games.
The Women’s 1st XI were back-to-back league winners, after being crowned Champions of the newly formed Kent Premier League in 2023 and the Women’s Southern Premier League in 2022, cementing their place as the leading team in Kent. This season they will compete in Division 1 of the Kent Premier League. With the aim of continuing to build a strong squad of senior players and young exciting talent that has come up through the ranks of the section; laying a strong foundation for years to come
We are excited to announce that we have secured coaching for the Women’s team throughout the summer from GRIT Sport. As part of the agreement, we will have weekly sessions led by Alex Blake (of Hayes, Kent and the Oval Invincibles) and Will MacVicar (Hayes and Cornwall CC), with the aim of further developing Cricketers across the section and emulating the success we’ve had over the last two seasons.
We’re always on the look out for more players at all age groups so if you’re a female cricketer looking for regular training across the Winter and Summer, and are wanting to improve your game, then why not join Hayes!
