Derbyshire Falcons women vs Glamorgan women – match 16, L2 – at Duffield Cricket Club (Derby) on Thursday 15 May 2025 (10h30)
Glamorgan bagged a comprehensive win, chalking-up back-to-back wins since Laura Parfitt returned from injury as skipper. Scoring her maiden ‘ton’ Daisy Jeans [115*not out(from 113 balls)] carried her bat. Separately, Glamorgan women’s best bowler-to-date is Poppy Tulloch (pictured), loaned from Hampshire – who took her sixth wicket. Ella Porter was best batter for Falcons, top-scoring with 80. Two Glamorgan women stand-out batters Beth Gammon and Daisy Jeans have each scored more than 200 runs from four matches played-to-date. Bizarrely, the match concluded when the first ball of a new over conceded the ‘wide’ scoring one ‘extra’ to chase-down Glamorgan women’s target score. Falcons are yet to chalk-up their first win. Weather was cool with cloud cover 14C
