Support Devon Women in final home game
The final home game for Devon Women here at The Holt will be a showcase celebration of women’s cricket and everyone’s welcome!
With a BBQ, a chance to meet the players and coaches and a guard of honour for the teams, Sunday, August 10, will be an inspirational day for women and girls across the county who are involved in cricket.
The match, the last of the 2025 season to take place at The Holt will see Devon come up against Hertfordshire women at 10.30am – if you haven’t had chance to come along and support your county side, this is your last chance this year!
With both bars open, food available, a fantastic atmosphere and of course top level cricket, it is a day not to be missed.
Ann-Marie Presswell, Women and Girl’s development officer for Devon Cricket, said: “We are so looking forward to the Women and Girl's event planned around the last Devon Women's game at Budleigh Salterton. It will be a fantastic chance for young girls and women to be inspired by the team and watch some high-quality cricket. We have tied it into an opportunity for coaches of girl's teams to come and watch the coaching team in action and watch coaching at the highest level. With music, a BBQ, activities, autograph sheets and great cricket - what more could you ask for!"
Much of the day has been masterminded by BSCC’s Carolyn Roper who said: “It has been an honour to host all the Devon Women’s home matches this season, and their final match on August 10th will be a fantastic showcase for women and girls cricket in the county. Working closely with Devon cricket it will be a fun and interactive day for all, so please come along and support our women. Everyone is welcome!”
