History

edit

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. As one of the six teams in the top division of the two domestic competitions, Northerns would be allowed eleven professional players from the 2023–24 season onwards.[9][10]
