The 2024 season saw The Blaze compete in the 50 over Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and the Twenty20 Charlotte Edwards Cup. The season was their second since their rebrand as The Blaze, having previously been known as Lightning.[1] In the Charlotte Edwards Cup, the side finished top of the group stage, winning nine of their ten matches, before defeating Central Sparks in the semi-finals and South East Stars in the final to win their first ever trophy.[2][3] In the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, the side finished fifth in the group, winning seven of their fourteen matches.[4]
The side was captained by Kirstie Gordon and coached by Chris Guest.[5] They played four home matches at Trent Bridge, two apiece at Grace Road, the County Ground, Derby and Queen's Park, Chesterfield and one apiece at Haslegrave Ground and Lindum Sports Club Ground.[6][7]
