Metro Bank One Day Cup Women League 2 - Glamorgan v Sussex Sharks
Glamorgan 178-5 (25 overs): Gammon 72; O'Neill 3-14
Sussex Sharks 125-9 (25 overs) : Gibb 24; Tulloch 4-28
Glamorgan win by 53 runs
Scorecard
Glamorgan Women won their historic opening fixture, beating Sussex by 53 runs in a rain-hit match in Cardiff.
Captain Beth Gammon led the way with 72 as Glamorgan racked up 178-5 in 25 overs, after their scheduled 50-overs MetroBank Cup fixture was halved following a four-hour delay.
Sussex were never up with the run-rate and finished on 125-9.
Poppy Tulloch, a late loan signing from Hampshire, took four for 28 for the home side.
Glamorgan are playing at tier two level but with the promise of a place in the top tier in 2027 as they turn professional.
After the visitors won the toss, Daisy Jeanes got Glamorgan going with 35 off 28 balls but Eve O'Neill claimed three for 14 in a fine five-over spell.
Gammon then dominated a century stand with Gemma Porter (29), hitting seven boundaries and running hard as her runs came off just 56 balls.
Glamorgan's first opening bowlers were Tulloch and fellow loanee Erin Vukusic, on a short-term deal from Somerset.
Sussex could not put together a partnership to threaten the required run-rate, with Daisy Gibb's 24 off 21 in the middle order their best score.
Tulloch returned to dismiss three lower-order batters to make sure of a convincing margin.
