History

1930-1937: Early History

The first recorded match involving Cheshire Women took place in 1930, which they lost to Durham Women.[4] After this, they played various one-off matches, often combined with neighbouring Lancashire, as Lancashire and Cheshire, under which they competed in the Women's Area Championship and the first Women's County Championship, in 1997.[5]

1998- : National Competition

Cheshire Women joined the County Championship in 1998, replacing Lancashire and Cheshire Women, and won Division 3 in their first season.[6] Since then, Cheshire bounced between Divisions 2 and 3, with their longest stay in Division 2 being between 2009 and 2014. They also managed two successive promotions in 2004 and 2005.[7] Cheshire Women withdrew from the County Championship after the 2016 season and have since only participated in the Women's Twenty20 Cup, in which they have often been in the lowest tier of the competition, but did win promotion to Division 2 in 2017.[8]
