The rise of Sessay Emeralds: A Yorkshire success story

December 3, 2024 by John Fuller

Sessay Emeralds Lead Coach Peter Watson and professional cricketer Phoebe Turner are my latest guests on the Cricket Yorkshire Podcast.

It’s the story of how a North Yorkshire village club grew from a few players to the women and girls’ cricket powerhouse it is now a decade later.

🎤 PODCAST INTERVIEWS (54-MINS)

In this Cricket Yorkshire podcast episode, Peter discusses:

🎬 How Sessay Emeralds began with his daughter Jess

🚀 The growth of teams and direction of W&G game

🌍 Impact of overseas player Olivia Gain

***

Meanwhile, Phoebe talks about:

🏏 Playing cricket in the street with her brothers

🆕 Her involvement at Sessay Emeralds

🗣️ Coaching journey including MCC Foundation Hubs

🎓 Balancing the transition to Northern Diamonds from teaching

🔥 Her professional career and move to Durham

🙏 Thanks to both Peter and Phoebe for their input in this episode about Sessay Emeralds. We’re interested in future podcasts on other aspects of the women and girls’ game such as softball success, starting a new team or growing girls cricket at your club.
