Strong, progressive — and a final.

The Ladies had another strong and progressive season in 2025, competing in two competitions and holding their own in both. We finished fourth in the Surrey Slam and went one better in the Big Bash, finishing second — a great effort across two different formats.

Tara Evans captained the side throughout the season and did a brilliant job leading the group. At the end of the campaign she stepped down as captain, leaving the team in a really strong place. Lauren Wheelwright now takes over, with Harvie Coote-DuPret stepping in as vice-captain — an exciting next step for the side.

Batting highlights

  • Amy Hinton led the way with the bat, scoring 205 runs at an outstanding average of 68.33, including a half-century. In T20 cricket that kind of consistency makes a huge difference.
  • Captain Tara Evans contributed 138 runs, while Sarah Benney added 113 in a solid season.
  • There were also useful contributions from Kim Osborne (95 runs) and Claire Churchouse (61 runs).

It wasn't just about big scores — it was about building competitive totals and backing each other up.

Bowling highlights

With the ball, the wickets were shared around nicely.

  • Jade Osborne led the attack with 8 wickets, including best figures of 2/6, while Claire Churchouse picked up 6.
  • Mia Churchouse and Harvie Coote-DuPret both took 5 wickets, and Kim Osborne added 4, giving the side good variety and balance.

The control shown across both competitions kept us competitive in tight games, especially in the shorter format.

Fielding

The energy in the field was a real positive. Tara led the way with 7 dismissals, including wicketkeeping catches and run-outs. Kim Osborne was heavily involved too, contributing several run-outs, and Sarah Benney added important catches.

Conclusion

Finishing fourth in the Surrey Slam and second in the Big Bash shows the continued growth of the Ladies side. There's depth in the squad, good team spirit and a clear sense of progress year on year.

A big thank you to Tara for her leadership and commitment as captain, and best of luck to Lauren and Harvie as they take things forward next season.

Another really positive year for the Ladies.
