She played seven matches as her side finished 5th in their group, with her best performance coming against North Representative XI, scoring 57*, her maiden county half-century.[9][10] In the 2022 Women's Twenty20 Cup, she was both the leading run-scorer, with 162 runs, and joint-leading wicket-taker, with five wickets, for North East Warriors.[11][12] She scored 51* from 36 deliveries against North Representative XI, and took 3/6 from 4 overs against Derbyshire.[13][14] At the end of the 2022 season, Tipton was named in the Northern Diamonds Academy squad for the 2023 season.[15]
