Devon Women will be hoping the weather stays kind as they commence their pre-season campaign with a double header this weekend as they host Gloucestershire at North Devon tomorrow (Saturday) followed by the visit of Somerset to Knightshayes on Sunday.
There are opportunities for some of the next generation to show where they are at in terms of pushing for selection to the senior squad.
Both squads have been selected both to give a balance to strength and also with one eye on player workload with some members of the squad having recently returned from Cape Town.
Saturday v Gloucestershire: Jodie Dibble (Sidmouth), Amara Carr (Plympton & Exeter University), Alli Kelly (North Devon), Rebecca Donohue (Plympton), Lydia Clements (North Devon), Evie Pitman (Plympton), Stephanie Hutchins (Plympton), Amanda Higginbotham (Brixham), Sophie Florides, Ellie Ingham-Hill (Bovey Tracey), Hazelle Garton (Plympton, RN & CS), Becca Halliday (Cornwood)
Sunday v Somerset: Jodie Dibble (Sidmouth), Amara Carr (Plympton & Exeter University), Rosalie Fairbairn (Bovey Tracey), Lydia Clements, Lauren Bowden (both North Devon), Aylish Cranstone (Shepperton & Exeter University), Rebecca Donohue (PLympton), Claire Varcoe (Plymouth), Amanda Higginbotham (Brixham), Evie Pitman (Plympton), Hazelle Garton (Plympton, RN & CS), Steph Hutchins Plympton).
