==Career==

Copley played in the first inter-insular women's cricket match between [[Jersey women's cricket team|Jersey]] and [[Guernsey women's cricket team|Guernsey]] in September 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.jerseyeveningpost.com/news/2009/09/24/first-womens-cricket-inter-insular/|title=First women’s cricket inter-insular|publisher=Jersey Evening Post|access-date=2024-06-21}}</ref>

Almost a decade later she was on the field as the two teams met in both countries' first officially recognised [[Women's Twenty20 International|WT20I]] which was contested for the [[2019 T20 Inter-Insular Cup]] at [[College Field, Saint Peter Port|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.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cricketeurope.com/DATABASE/ARTICLES2019/articles/000007/000711.shtml |title=Jersey play their first official T20 Internationals |access-date=21 June 2024|work=Cricket Europe |archive-date=29 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190529044753/https://www.cricketeurope.com/DATABASE/ARTICLES2019/articles/000007/000711.shtml |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/jersey-wmn-in-guernsey-2019-1185206/guernsey-women-vs-jersey-women-only-t20i-1185208/full-scorecard|title=Guernsey Women vs Jersey Women 2019|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=2024-06-21}}</ref>

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]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.womenscriczone.com/quadrangular-series-france-will-host-t20i-series-starting-may-5|title=France to host T20I quadrangular series starting May 5|publisher=womenscriczone.com|access-date=2024-06-21}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://femalecricket.com/women-cricket-news/23903-france-to-host-austria-jersey-and-spain-for-a-t20i-quadrangular-series.html|title=France to host Austria, Jersey and Spain for a T20I Quadrangular Series|publisher=femalecricket.com|access-date=2024-06-21}}</ref>
