Lauren Kenvyn in the runs as she scores a stunning century

Lauren hit her runs off just 136 balls – believed to be a Girls Age Group record score – but it proved in vain as her side were beaten by 20 runs.

Batting first, Worcestershire made 224-8 from their 40 overs Kenvyn, Amy Connelly and Isabelle Wedgbury all claiming two wickets apiece.

Coach Darrell Corfield said: “It was a privilege to watch Lauren bat on the day. Her maturity in compiling the innings while wickets fell around her was remarkable.”

It is believed to be a County Girls’ Age Group record score.
