International Career
Valentine represented England in the first women's Test match that was played against Australia in December 1934, but did not make any appearance in international cricket thereafter. Batting at number 11 she was bowled by Anne Palmer, the Australian off-spinner, for a duck in England's first innings. Valentine did not bowl in the first innings. However, she was given an opportunity to bowl in the second innings. Valentine bowled just five overs while claiming her first international wicket when she bowled out Kath Smith. In the innings she conceded nine runs in Australia's second innings. England went on to win the match by nine wickets. The match was Valentine's only international appearance.

—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
