Some more fixtures

posted by John Winn

Last August I was one in a large crowd that gathered at Clifton Park, York to watch a match in the Kia Women's Super League. In action were Yorkshire Diamonds who entertained Taunton based Western Storm who went on to win the tournament. The feature of the afternoon was splendid hitting by Lauren Winfield and Sophie Devine for Diamonds and Rachel Priest for Storm. Priest hit an unbeaten 106 off 65 balls and supported by Heather Knight saw her team home to a ten wicket win.

The fixtures for this year's tournament are available on the ECB website starting with three matches on Sunday 22nd July, Champions Storm will take on Yorkshire Diamonds at Taunton that afternoon. Finals day is on the August Bank Holiday at Hove with the semi final played in the morning and wickets pitched for the final at 2:30, the 32nd match in the tournament which is spread over 17 grounds. Yorkshire Diamonds will play their five home matches at Headingley (2), York (2)  and Scarborough, beginning with a Roses clash on Friday July 27th at Headingley.
