U17 Girls' National Championship Match Six: Donovan wraps up win over Cornwall

Devon v Cornwall

Having won the toss, Devon were put into bat on a rather damp outfield and soft wicket at Falmouth Cricket Club. Emma Seward (24) and Hollie Perkin (5) batted well together for 13 overs for their 43 partnership. Rose Ball (37), Daisy Meadowcroft (15) and Becca Halliday (18) all got into double figures. Devon were on 133-5 with 4 overs of their innings left,  but managed to bat their overs, finishing on 140-8.

Cornwall's start of their innings was very much that of Devon's for the first twenty overs. With Cornwall on 106 -7 in the 35th over, requiring just 3.5 per over to win. However not only did Sophie Florides (2-19) Katie Donovan (3-21) slow the run-rate, but in the 37th over there was not only a runout, but Katie Donovan took the final two wickets. Cornwall were all out for 111.

A fine win for Devon!
