Ladies Team
Summary of the Season:
The Ladies had another strong and progressive season in 2025, competing in two competitions and holding their own in both.
We finished 4th in the Surrey Slam and went one better in the Big Bash, finishing 2nd — 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 will now take 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 wickets.
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 total dismissals, including wicketkeeping catches and run outs. Kim Osborne was heavily involved as well, contributing several run outs, and Sarah Benney added important catches.
Conclusion
Finishing 4th in the Surrey Slam and 2nd 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.
