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