Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Rachael Heyhoe Flint, Baroness

Rachael Heyhoe Flint, captain of

The English women's cricket team,

Twelve gloried years in game she'd love

To excel in from childhood dream.

A cricket playing pioneer,

Role model for young women who'd

Watch her victories, as she'd steer,

To join her in her path pursued.

In the Women's Cricket World Cup,

First held in 1973,

She flashed vee sign, two fingers up,

And led her team to victory.

Now in the Cricket Hall of Fame,

First she inducted from the game.
