Hi UOLWCC family,

I was recently asked, ‘If I could go back to first year, is there anything I would change?’ Without hesitation, I replied, ' Joining women's cricket earlier. ' UOLWCC has been a core part of shaping my second year at Leeds. I could never have imagined the memories and friendships it has given me.

Although I may appear to be a confident girl who runs into parked vehicles on Wednesday nights, I was more nervous than I'd like to admit about joining UOLWCC. Joining the netball social league gave me the confidence I needed to fully immerse myself within the society, allowing me to make the absolute most of it from socials and rollover to completing the Yorkshire Three Peaks alongside UOLMCC

Poppy, being such a warm and welcoming figure to me as I walked into my first game back in October, made me feel immediately at ease. I knew I had a fun season ahead of me. I would be honoured to follow on from Poppy, continuing to foster an inclusive and fun approach to cricket's social netball. Skills I learnt from being Netball captain throughout my secondary school days, including picking teams and leading training sessions, will allow me to continue crickets'netball success.

If successfully elected, I would work closely alongside the next charity sec to hold more charity tournaments, for example, a tournament to raise money for Coppafeel, a breast cancer awareness charity. After witnessing the success of our Movember tournament, I feel that the use of charity tournaments will not only increase cricket netball members, allowing the team to become stronger as it grows, but allows us to use our netball skills to raise money for those in need.

My dedication to netball cannot be questioned as I have shown up to all tuesday games, no matter what time I had left Bobbys the night before, as well as perfect attendance to training sessions. My love for netball cricket allowed me to muster the energy I needed for those games, so I could offer my best performance for the club.

I would extremely appreciate the opportunity to continue spreading my love for netball by leading cricket next year, into a hopefully unbeaten season.

SEE YOU ON THE COURT

Lots of love,
Eims xx
