Career

Copley played in the first inter-insular women's cricket match between Jersey and Guernsey in September 2009.[1]

Almost a decade later she was on the field as the two teams met in both countries' first officially recognised WT20I which was contested for the 2019 T20 Inter-Insular Cup at College Field, Saint Peter Port, on 31 May 2019. Batting at number three, Copley top-scored for her side with 39 runs off 45 balls including six boundaries as well as recording bowling figures of 0/15 from her four overs.[2][3]

It was three years until her next WT20I outing, when she was among the Jersey squad which took part in the 2022 France Women's T20I Quadrangular Series.[4][5]

Copley made her first home WT20I appearances in the newly expanded three-match 2022 Women's Inter-Insular Cup against Guernsey at Grainville Cricket Ground.[6] She took 2/10 in the first game[7] and then claimed two wickets in the space of four balls to finish with identical figures in the third contest, although the latter was not an official WT20I.[8][9][10]

She played in two of Jersey's five matches at the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier, taking 2/13 in the win over Turkey[11][12][13] and 2/1 from 1.3 overs in an 108-run victory against Sweden.[14]

Later that year, Copley took a to-date career-best three wickets for 12 runs in the opening match of the 2023 WT20I Inter-Insular Cup against Guernsey at King George V Sports Ground in Castel.[15][16]
