While there have been women’s club teams in the UK for over fifteen years, before 2004 these teams did not have their own division outside of the annual Nationals event and international play. Instead, competitive women’s teams played in the Open Tour or individual women played on Mixed teams within the Mixed and Open divisions. However, in 2004 it was decided there were sufficient numbers and enthusiasm to run a full Women’s Tour alongside the Open Tour. Since the advent of the Women’s Tour, the women’s division in the UK has increased in size in each successive year and the UK now boasts the biggest women’s division in Europe.

Although the Women’s Tour is smaller than the Open Tour, it remains very competitive. The strength of the Women’s Tour has even caught the eye of a number of European women’s teams, many of whom travel to the UK to compete in our domestic competitions.

This year, after losing last season’s Tour title to local rivals Bliss by the slimmest of margins, Iceni 1 won two of three Tour events to clinch the 2006 Women’s Tour title.
