Cricket Journey: Lucy Marks may be newer to cricket, but she’s already made her mark — taking her first hardball wicket and playing in men’s matches while helping push for a women’s hardball team at her club. A natural athlete with a background in hockey and netball, she’s channeling her energy into making cricket better for women.

Why Maiden: Lucy is passionate about breaking the “softball ceiling” many clubs still impose. She joined Maiden to push for proper kit, proper teams, and proper respect. She promotes cricket actively on social media and sees Maiden as a vital part of helping more women feel empowered to step up and play hard.
