As former vice-chairman of the South East Regional Sports Council and a county and borough councillor, I strongly support women and girls in sport.
So it gives me much satisfaction to see Clare Connor, Sussex and England women's cricket captain, was made an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours (The Argus, June 12).
To captain national and county teams demands the highest ability and dedication. Clare has both.
Active participation in sport enhances the quality of life and Clare sets an example that young sports people should try hard to follow.
