On Thursday morning the College cricket department received a letter from Marylebone Cricket Club (M.C.C.), naming Dixie as the first winner of the prestigious Rachael Heyhoe Flint Award.
Dixie was recognised for her outstanding performance at Lord's last year against M.C.C.
The award was set up in memory of the late Baronness Heyhoe Flint, the former England captain who was amongst the first women to become an Honorary Life Member of M.C.C.
