It's amazing these days just how many girls are involved in sports long ago considered only for men, I think it is a great thing.
When I was a young fellow growing up in the 70s and playing soccer for Engadine Eagles, the idea of a girl's side was totally ludicrous. I am pretty sure in the years I played there, 1970 to 1981 I don't remember a single girls team or comp. Same goes for cricket. Most sweet young things back then thought cricket was totally boring and preferred to do other things than to watch their guy play or even take part. When I started going out with my wife in the early 90s I played many games but she did not want to come along and on the few times she did, she brought a book with her to read.
But now girl's teams are reaching huge numbers. My son has played both soccer and cricket with girls through most of his playing days and it is just the norm.
