They play their home games at Summerleaze Road, Maidenhead, and are captained by Alice Macleod.[1][2] They competed in Division One of the Women's County Championship until 2017, when they were relegated, and they won the Women's Twenty20 Cup in 2010.[3] They are partnered with the regional side Southern Vipers.[4]

History

1936-1999: Early History

Berkshire Women played their first recorded match in 1936, against Buckinghamshire Women, which they lost by 66 runs.[5] When the Women's County Championship began in 1997, Thames Valley Women, which included Berkshire, competed, having also previously played in various regional competitions.[6]

2000- : Women's County Championship

Berkshire Women joined the Women's County Championship in 2000, replacing Thames Valley Women, and finished 4th in Division 1 in their first season. After being relegated in 2003, they did not return to Division 1 until 2008, after which they became a consistently mid-table side.[7] This period saw much greater success in the Women's Twenty20 Cup for Berkshire, reaching the final three times in a row between 2010 and 2012, including winning the competition in 2010, beating Yorkshire by 46 runs.[8] In 2017, Berkshire Women were relegated from Division 1 and have remained in Division 2 since, whilst also suffering two consecutive relegations in the T20 Cup.[9] Current England Women captain and vice-captain, Heather Knight and Anya Shrubsole, both currently play for Berkshire.[10]
