With Tier One the Future, That Final Never Happened

Nine chances (two stumpings and dropped catches the rest) went begging which is, of course, not good enough. It means Glamorgan head to tier one with as many second tier titles as Yorkshire but fewer than Middlesex.

The 67-run defeat was never really close. And Middlesex who proved to be a side of plenty of quality claimed a second title – now having beat Yorkshire and Glamorgan in a final.

Saskia Horley was at the helm for Middlesex and how she’d be a player Rachel Priest would love to pinch on her way to the professional game (even if the Aussies and the Kiwis are rivals). But unfortunately, she’s not. The 26-year-old former Big Bash player and now Scottish international is retiring from county cricket due to work commitments. She ended her Middlesex career with a century and a four-fer - not a bad day at the office.
