The Blaze will be one of 37 teams taking part in the Vitality T20 Women's County Cup, with the draw for the competition having been revealed today.
Teams from across the three tiers of the women’s domestic structure will enter the knockout competition, with The Blaze joining their fellow Tier 1 teams in entering at Round Three.
Kirstie Gordon's side will face Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire or Bedfordshire & Huntingdonshire on Saturday 17 May, with the winners progressing into the quarter-finals.
Two all Tier 1 ties in Round Three, involving Surrey, Hampshire Hawks, Somerset and Durham, means the competition will be guaranteed at least two teams from Tiers 2 or 3 in the quarter-finals.
It’s the first time the Vitality T20 Women’s County Cup will be competed for, in what is the first year of a revamped women’s domestic game structure.
The competition will take place across May, utilising Bank Holidays at the beginning and end of the month, and will signal the first domestic silverware of 2025.
Finals Day - on which both semi-finals and the showpiece finale will be played - will take place at Taunton on Monday 26 May.
