Glamorgan: Women aim to build towards 2027 professionalism

Head coach Rachel Priest and captain Lauren Parfitt say Glamorgan Women must use their progress in 2025 as a springboard towards becoming a fully professional side in 2027.

Glamorgan were beaten heavily by Yorkshire in Sunday’s One Day Cup League 2 final in Worcester, but can reflect on a largely positive campaign which also included a T20 Blast semi-final.

Parfitt, 31, who balances cricket with her job as a teacher, said the squad had exceeded expectations and now had clear motivation for the seasons ahead.

“Initially, we didn’t necessarily know what the season would bring,” all-rounder Parfitt told BBC Sport Wales.


“We’re really proud to have achieved what we have this season and we’ll look to improve on that next season and then into tier one for 2027.


“I’ve absolutely loved it, every second of it.”
