History[]
Devon Women joined the County Challenge Cup in 2005, finishing 2nd in their group in their first season.[5] In 2008, their first season in the Women's County Championship proper, they were promoted from Division 5 South & West, winning all four of their games.[6] After being promoted to Division 2 in 2011, they have remained there ever since, achieving their best finish of 3rd in 2012, 2014 and 2017, helped by standout performances from players such as Rosalie Birch, Jodie Dibble and Caitlin O'Keefe.[7][8][9] Devon joined the Women's Twenty20 Cup in its inaugural season, 2009, winning Division 4 with two out of three wins that year.[10] From 2015, when the competition first moved to a national format, until 2018, Devon played in Division 3: they were promoted in 2018, topping Division 3A, and played in Division 2 in 2019.[11] In 2021, they competed in the South West Group of the Twenty20 Cup, finishing 2nd with 4 wins.[12]
