History

The side first appeared in the Simon Trophy, as Northern Transvaal, in the 1951–52 season and played in the tournament until 1959–60. [2] As Northerns, they next competed in the Inter-Provincial Tournament in 1995–96, and have competed in the tournament ever since. [1] They first won the tournament in 1998–99, beating North West in the final. [3] They next won the tournament in 2010–11, finishing second in their group to qualify for the knockout stages before beating Boland in the semi-final and KwaZulu-Natal in the final. [4] They retained their title the following season, going unbeaten in the group stages before beating KwaZulu-Natal in the semi-final. [5] They then beat Western Province in the final by 161 runs, with Marizanne Kapp making 106. [6]

They have also competed in the CSA Women's Provincial T20 Competition since its inception in 2012–13. [1] They have finished as runners-up in the competition twice, in 2013–14 and 2015–16. [7] [8]

In August 2023, it was announced that a new professional domestic system would be implemented for women's cricket in South Africa.
