In the women's grade 6 teams have been divided into two equally strong pools. The National U22 Women's Champion Golden Bati has registered for the exciting event and will be going in as slight favourites. The team X- Wounds who will be seeking revenge after their narrow lost to tournament favourites Golden Bati in the recent National U22 Women's Final.
