History has been made at Denstone College with Lower Sixth pupil, Sophie becoming the first female cricketer to play for the 1st XI team against Checkley U19s.
Director of Cricket and former Yorkshire player, Mr Simon Guy, who also coaches Sophie for Warwickshire ladies said ‘I have coached Sophie since her time at Denstone, she is a very hardworking pupil and benefits from our one on one coaching sessions. I certainly look forward to seeing her play in more matches’.
Sophie is an all-round sportsperson and also plays top league hockey. She is the daughter of Old Denstonian and former Denstone College 1st XI cricket captain, Mr Jan Hughes (82-87) and niece of OD, Emma Hughes (83-90) who played for the 1st XI women’s team.
We look forward to seeing your progression within the 1st XI Sophie, well done.
