Bucks Women Suffer Devon Defeat

17 Jun 2026

Bucks Women fell to an eight-wicket defeat against Devon at Budleigh Salterton CC on Sunday in the Metro Bank One Day Cup.

Bucks won the toss and elected to bat. Openers Molly Carter (34) and Afra Rose Mohamed (21) made a strong start, but Abbie Lockett (2-16) broke the partnership for the home side in the eighth over, dismissing Mohamed with her first ball.

With pressure created through tight bowling and regular wickets, Bucks struggled to build meaningful partnerships. They passed the 150 mark before the final wicket fell, setting Devon a target of 154.

Bucks made the perfect start with the ball as Cara Duggan trapped Jemima Vereker LBW in the first over. However, Devon's Elle Golsworthy (86*) and Ellie Bishop (49) put together a formidable 152-run partnership and took control of the chase. Bishop fell just short of her half-century, but Devon sealed victory shortly afterwards, reaching their target in 26.3 overs.

Bucks look ahead to a huge clash on Sunday at Neston CC in the Vitality Blast against Lancashire Thunder.
