Domestic career

Fenby made her county debut in 2013, for Durham against Lancashire.[4] Fenby was quickly successful for the side, and was the joint-leading wicket-taker for Durham in both the 2015 and 2016 County Championships, with 13 wickets in both seasons.[5] [6] In 2015, Fenby took two four-wicket hauls, including her List A best bowling figures of 4/11 against Scotland.[7] [8] [9] In 2018, Fenby was again Durham's County Championship joint-leading wicket-taker, again with 13 wickets.[10]

In 2020, Durham merged with Northumberland to form the North East Warriors.[11] Although the side did not play any competitive matches that season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Fenby captained the side in two friendlies against Scotland in 2020.[12] In 2021, she played five matches for the side in the Twenty20 Cup, taking two wickets.[13]

Fenby also played for Yorkshire Diamonds in the Women's Cricket Super League in 2018 and 2019. She played 12 matches across the two seasons, taking 6 wickets, including her Twenty20 best bowling figures of 4/20 in a match against Surrey Stars in 2019.[2] [14]

In 2020, Fenby played for Northern Diamonds in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. She appeared in two matches, but did not take a wicket.[15] She again played two matches for the side in 2021.[16] [17] Fenby was also in the Northern Superchargers squad for The Hundred, but did not play a match.[18]
