Ellie Phillips’ century led The Blaze Academy to a commanding victory over Yorkshire in a three-day friendly at Grantham.
Batting at number six, Phillips’ composed 112 from 133 balls elevated The Blaze to a first-innings total of 359, after skittling Yorkshire for 147.
Captain Phillips found support from Flora Davies (62) as her side secured a significant first-innings lead, before the hosts dismissed the White Rose side for 220 in their second innings.
With wickets shared around The Blaze attack, Maria Andrews chalked up the game’s standout figures for her side, taking 2/12 in the first innings before maintaining a similarly miserly economy rate in securing 2/40 in Yorkshire’s second innings.
Requiring just nine to win, The Blaze reached their fourth-innings target from 3.1 overs, winning by nine wickets.
