Women’s Grand Final 2014/15 v Clare Street Oval Sunday 22nd February Girls U/17 Competition The CTPL Girl’s Competition was introduced in this season with the aim of providing a suita- ble pathway for girls to progress through to the Women’s Premier League. In its inaugural year; Glenorchy, Kingborough, New Town, North Hobart, SHSB and University all fielded teams. Played on synthetic wickets, the competition took place over seven weeks prior to Christmas with the top two teams progressing through to the Grand final that was played as a curtain raiser to a Women’s match at New Town Oval.
