NORTHERN JETS WOMEN'S CLUB HISTORY
The 1988–89 season marked the beginning of women’s cricket at Salisbury District Cricket Club, with teams entered in both B Grade and C Grade in the SAWCA competition. Long-serving delegates Bruce Jolly and Murray Thompson were instrumental in establishing women’s cricket at Northern Districts Cricket Club. Several players from the “Souths” team moved to Salisbury and formed the core of the inaugural playing group.
Pre-season training was held at Pro Fitness on Stanbel Road, Salisbury Plain. Murray Thompson served as the first coach, assisted by Gary Wood, son of the esteemed Hartley Wood.
Home matches were played on hard wickets at Parafield Gardens High School and Kilburn Primary School. These were the memorable days of laying and removing the matting each match day. Most players had their own equipment, although a team kit was available for anyone who needed it—and no one wore a helmet!
At the time, there were no Twenty20 matches; the competition consisted entirely of one-day and two-day games.
The team was a close-knit and highly social group. After Thursday evening training, everyone stayed to share dinner, and on Saturday nights the players gathered at the club, regardless of the result.
