Falcons winning streak at Queen's Park

The Falcons will be looking for their eighth-consecutive win over Yorkshire at Queen’s Park on Sunday 6 July, with tickets on sale now. 

A fixture steeped in history and tradition, which round’s off the BRM Chesterfield of Cricket, the Queen’s Park T20 has often been the scene of some truly memorable Vitality Blast moments between the Falcons and Yorkshire.

The winning streak in Chesterfield began all the way back in 2015, as all-rounder Alex Hughes sealed the win with two fours off Matt Fisher in the 19th over.

2017’s clash saw a 28-ball 42 from Wayne Madsen and three wickets from Imran Tahir, helping the Falcons to a three-run victory.

The ground witnessed a thrilling contest in 2018, when Derbyshire hit the winning runs with just one ball to spare.

Matt Critchley struck the winning boundary off Tim Bresnan, on his way to a scintillating 38 from just 17 deliveries, while Godleman led the way with an unbeaten 71.

Just as it did a year prior, the 2019 contest went down to the final over with Godleman (70 not out) and Critchley at the crease.

With five balls to spare, Derbyshire’s five-wicket victory was confirmed when David Willey bowled a wide down the leg-side.

In 2022, Leus du Plooy etched his name into the history books, smashing 18 of the required 19 runs to defeat Yorkshire in the final over, sending the sold-out crowd into raptures.

The 2023 fixture saw the Falcons registered their biggest ever T20 victory, the winning margin being 144 runs. Derbyshire posted 212 for four, with Haider Ali (59), Leus du Plooy (66*) and Brooke Guest (39*) producing brilliant knocks.

2024 saw another dominant win for the Falcons, who will be aiming to replicate such performances in 2025, as we go in search of silverware.
