Storylines to Watch

• Spring Tour winners meet: A clash looms between Iceni and BFD Shout, champions of the women’s Spring Tour events.

• Power clubs double‑dip: GRUT, BFD and Mooncatchers each field both Women’s and Open teams – more chances for silverware.

• Last year’s Elite Invite champions Leamington Lemmings finished the season outside the top 8. Will 2025 deliver a similar storyline?
