Gloucestershire (women) vs Glamorgan (women) (match 2, league two – ‘double-header’ fixture) Bristol, Seat Unique Stadium on 22 May 2026
As commentators predicted, Daisy Jeanes [38runs(from 26 balls)] partnered by Glamorgan womens’ skipper Lauren Parfitt 86(58) were ‘exciting to watch,’ and banked 74 runs. As Gloucs best bowler, Emily Geach took a 3-fer (taking three wickets/conceding 23 runs.) Turning to Gloucester women’s innings on 67/5, their score was boosted by fifty-two runs partnership between Emily Geach and Melissa Story (BBC Broadcaster) who was ’stumped’ from her final ball. Post-match, Emily Geach was interviewed for setting a new Gloucs women’s bowling record for t20; also for her undefeated top-score 32*not out(23.)Two Glamorgan womens bowlers each took two wickets for the winning team: Eve Jackson – pictured – and Gemma Porter. Commentators noted that all Glamorgan spinners bowled ‘round-the-wicket’ and all Glamorgan batters were right-handed. Added that Gloucs seemed less accustomed to ‘bigger playing areas with long ’square boundaries’ at Bristol – said to be ‘quite different’ to Cheltenham (College.) Summing-up, Glamorgan women continued to ‘produce a series of ‘decent results.’ Commentators for Gloucs Cricket Livestream were Ian Randall (Freelance) with Dan Whiting (@themiddlestump) Weather: ‘Beautiful sunshine,’ with light breeze 25C
