Sarah Glenn, Tammy Beaumont and Georgie Boyce fired The Blaze to a comprehensive five wicket win over Northern Diamonds to conclude their pre-season preparations in perfect style at Weetwood. 

England leg-spinner Glenn finished with figures of 3-18 from 6.2 overs as the Yorkshire-based outfit amassed 198 using all but four balls of their allotted 50 overs. 

Sophie Munro also claimed three wickets with a scalp each for Grace Ballinger, Kirstie Gordon, Lucy Higham and Marie Kelly. 

Beaumont and Boyce then led the charge with the bat as the former cracked a 53-ball 71, including an opening stand of 126 with Kelly, who made 36 before departing. 

Boyce finished unbeaten on 50, with a cameo from Beth Harmer hoisting the visitors towards their total. 

The clash marks the final game for The Blaze prior to their curtain-raising Rachael Heyhoe-Flint Trophy fixture against Central Sparks for which tickets are available here...
