But not the girls at Crookwell High School.

The Open Girls' cricket team at CHS completed a comfortable 18-run win over Yass High School earlier this month, and not even the cold weather could dampen their enthusiasm for the sport.

Playing in the South Coast Knockout competition, which is an all-school event, the Crookwell girls won their first two matches and will now face Bega High School in Term Four.

Many members of the team are new to the sport of cricket, and team coach Belinda Maher said that they have taken to it with incredible enthusiasm.

"I didn't know what to expect from the girls, because a lot of them haven't played cricket before. We've only got about three or four in the team that have actually played cricket before," Maher said.

"They've just been really keen to learn new skills and they've actually found it really quite fun. It's been a really good social aspect to it as well."

Maher herself is also quite new to the sport, and said that she has enjoyed taking it on and will endeavour to keep up Crookwell's involvement in the competition.

"I'm keen to support it," Maher said.

"Cricket NSW actually gave us a kit full of gloves, bats, pads, everything you could need to play a game of cricket with, and we've designated it solely to girls' open cricket, so I think it's something that will continue on."

While most of the team are familarising themselves with the game, Maher has been impressed by the speed with which they have picked up many of the skills, which she attributes to a coaching session run by Cricket NSW at the school.

"We got NSW Cricket to come out and give them a bit of a coaching session here at school to build their confidence and their skills," she said.

"From there we've turned up on the day with a positive attitude and we've come away with two wins.

"[I've] been really impressed with their abilities, actually. There's a couple of girls that have got some wickets and things like that, which they didn't think they were capable of."

Maher is not sure what to expect from Bega High in their round three encounter, which means that the team will have to adapt as the match progresses.

"[We have] absolutely no idea [what to expect]," Maher said.

"I guess, in line with us and how many of our girls have played before, I'm going to assume that they'll have a team similar to ours, where they'll have some girls that have played and some haven't."
