Help us recognise the pioneers of Warwickshire Bears Women

Warwickshire County Cricket Club are appealing for help to reconnect with several former Bears Women players who helped shape the Club’s history.

The Club are working to trace former female players dating back to the team’s first season in 1937.

While we have the surnames of many former players, the Club are missing first names and contact details for a number of them. We would love to hear from anyone in the cricketing community that can help identify the players listed below, or who can put us in touch with them or their families.

Warwickshire would like to celebrate the generations of women that have represented Warwickshire and helped lay the foundations for today’s Bears Women. Every player has played a part in the Club’s journey, and we want to ensure their contribution is recognised.
