History
South Western Districts Women joined the South African domestic system ahead of the 2005–06 season, playing in the Women's Provincial League, in which they finished 6th in their group of 7 with one win from their twelve matches.[2] They have competed in the tournament ever since, but have never reached the knockout stages.[1] In the 2008–09 season, they won the B Section Group, but lost the Promotion/Relegation play-off to Eastern Province.[3][4] In 2021–22, the side topped Pool A before beating Free State in a play-off to gain promotion to the Top 6 for the first time.[5]
They have also competed in the CSA Women's Provincial T20 Competition since its inception in 2012–13, but again have never made it to the knockout rounds.[1]
