Number Of Years Playing Cricket: 7

Cricket Journey: Niamh Barrie has been climbing steadily over her seven years in cricket, from middle-order batter to wicketkeeper and now captain of her U14s mixed team. One of her proudest moments was being voted Player’s Player by her teammates — a testament to her leadership, humility, and impact on and off the pitch.

Why Maiden: Niamh joined Maiden because she knows what it’s like to wear kit that doesn’t fit, to face digs just for showing up, and to still turn up stronger. She wants to be the role model she once needed — someone who says, “You’re not alone, and you do belong here.” For her, Maiden is about visibility, fit, and giving girls the confidence to stay in the game.
