Hampshire Hawks (women) vs Yorkshire (White Rose) (women) (match 28, league one – ‘stand-alone’ fixture) at the Southampton Utilita Bowl, on 26 June 2026
Played in challenging conditions, Hawks womens’ openers scored at ten runs-per-over without loss, during their power-play. White Rose women ‘came back impressively.’ Liv Thomas accounted for both openers wickets, catching top-scorer Maia Bouchier [44runs (from 28 balls)] from her first ball and trapping skipper Adams ‘leg-before.’ As well as turning-in White Rose’s best bowling figures 2/28 Liv Thomas also caught Abi Norgrove during guest Australian Jess Jonassen’s ‘death’ over. Separately post-match, reporters were told that Liv Thomas was complemented for her performance, returning after a ‘tough couple of months;’ and overall the White Roses performed better than their score-line might suggest, facing their sixth loss from seven matches played-to-date. Turning to the result, Hawks women bagged their fourth win from seven matches played and go top-of-table. White Rose’s next fixture is a ‘roses rivals’ match. Commentators: Kevan ‘Kev’ James with guests including Jemma Green (Hants women.) Weather: cloudless blue sky with record June heat, 32C.
