Yesterday, Shivani Mehta made history when she represented Hornsey First XI in their away fixture against Teddington First XI in the M.C.C.L. — becoming the first female player ever to represent a Premier Division side in the competition's history, as well as a landmark moment for our club.
Shivani was not required to bat but delivered a composed bowling performance on a very flat deck, returning figures of 4–0–22–0. Her presence in the side speaks volumes about both her ability and her character.
She is an inspiration to everyone at Hornsey CC — congratulations, Shivani. A truly historic day.
