History
Suffolk Women joined the county system in 2007, competing in the County Challenge Cup, the lower tier of the Women's County Championship, in which they lost all three of their games. The next few seasons saw similarly poor performances, but the team improved from 2011 onwards, and Suffolk topped Division 4 North & East for three consecutive seasons in 2012, 2013 and 2014, missing out on promotion in play-offs in the first two instances, before finally achieving Division 3 status in 2014, beating Cornwall in a play-off by 61 runs. However, Suffolk were relegated in 2015 and have since only played in the lowest tier of the Championship, missing out on promotion in a play-off once again in 2018.
In the Women's Twenty20 Cup, Suffolk have similarly played in the lower tiers of the competition, but did manage to gain promotion to Division South 2 in 2011, and in 2016 they topped Division 4A, going through the season unbeaten. In 2021, they competed in the East Group of the Twenty20 Cup, finishing 3rd with 4 victories.

Why this record matters
“Suffolk Women cricket team” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Suffolk, Women and cricket provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7634596. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2019, 2007, 2011 and 2012.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
