Devon Women host Tier 1 opposition this weekend as they welcome Warwickshire to The Holt on Sunday, 18 May.

Devon face professional opposition for the first time since the women's game restructure, with this weekend's winner set to progress to the quarter finals of the Vitality T20 Women's County Cup.

Devon are currently on a four-match winning streak, having dispatched Dorset and Suffolk on their way to Round 3 of the competition.

Warwickshire go into the game having lost their last three Metro Bank Women's One-Day Cup fixtures and currently sit 7th in the table.

"It's great that we're at home where we've had three good results this season and are looking to build on our positive start to the season."

Captain's Thoughts

"I am really looking forward to this weekend. It's a great opportunity for our players to get a taste of professional cricket and to have a new type of challenge and experience for everyone involved, from staff to players.

"The hard work going on behind the scenes has been amazing by Budleigh and the Foundation, who have backed us and supported us getting this far.

"We look forward to a great game of cricket where we will look to apply our skills and build on our learnings so far."
