Wagga City, St Michaels, RSL and South Wagga have fielded teams this year in the league which aims to encourage and develop teenage cricket talent.

"It's the first year that there's been this many teams and we think it will continue to grow," Murrumbidgee cricket manager, Kelly Meddings said.

"We would've loved to have all six clubs involved but it was a funny season and we may not have had our timing right. There's always things we can chop and change. That's the beauty of this competition, we've been flexible with times we're doing them."

The eight-week Twenty20 competition, played on Monday nights at Duke of Kent fields, has two weeks remaining.

All batters face around two overs each, with players raging from 10 to 19 years of age.

"It's been really good, the girls have enjoyed it and there's a good mix of ages," Meddings said.

"We've had some bottom age girls come through and it's been really encouraging to see the older girls take them under their wing.

"There's been some surprising results... some of the new girls and new teams have really done well."

There are hopes for a primary school girls competition late this year, to run off the back of a big Cricket NSW gala day in October (which attracted 700 girls last year).

It's anticipated that the school competition will help generate even more interest in a bigger Thunder Girls Cricket League next year.

Meddings said its been rewarding to see an inclusive and encouraging spirit among clubs and players in the league this year and praised the efforts of club officials involved.
