The Northumberland Ladies County Team travelled to Eastbourne to compete in Group 1 of County Week from 22nd to 26th July 2024.
The week got off to a heavy defeat against eventual Group 1 winners Hertfordshire 0-9. Day 2 saw a narrow defeat to Middlesex 4-5 and on Wednesday the Team came out on top against Hants & Isle of Wight 5-4. Thursday saw a close match against northern rivals Yorkshire with the Team on the wrong side of a 4-5 defeat. Friday saw another close match this time against Surrey which the Ladies won 5-4. This was not enough, however, to keep the Team in Group 1 for 2025 and they will drop down to Group 2 for next year
The Team comprised: Amy Hoburn (Team Captain), Lauren Jones, Gillian Kelliher, Aimee Knowles, Lara Savic, Alex Walker, Emma Wilson and Tracy Smith.
