The Northumberland Ladies County Team travelled to Eastbourne to compete in Group 1 of County Week from 18th to 22nd July. They capped an outstanding week by recording an historic Runner-Up place behind the eventual Group winners who were Hertfordshire.

The week got off to an excellent start for Northumberland Ladies on Monday with a 7-2 win against Hampshire and Isle of Wight. This was followed up on Tuesday with another 7-2 win, this time against Yorkshire. Wednesday saw a very close encounter against Surrey which was lost 4-5 and Wednesday saw a 3-6 loss to a very strong Hertfordshire team.

However, the Team bounced back on Friday with an emphatic 6-0 win against Kent which saw Northumberland finish as Runners-up.

This was a tremendous achievement for a team who were competing against counties with a much larger player base and strong histories of success at County week.

The Team were: Amy Hoburn (Team Captain), Steph Booth, Jess Hart, Lauren Jones, Abby Kelliher, Gillian Kelliher, Aimee Knowles, Alex Walker and Emma Wilson.
