The start of the 2015 NatWest Island Games, hosted by Jersey, is only a couple of days away, and like the men's tournament, the women's tournament will commence on 28/6/15. In stark contrast to the 2013 version, which was held in - and won by - Bermuda, 11 teams will be competing, including Greenland and Hitra, both of which were present last time out and who will be surely tested by their hosts.
Åland, winners of the last three tournaments before that held in Bermuda, will be looking to finish top of the heap once again, though several island nations will have something to say about that in the biggest women's tournament ever held as part of the NatWest Island Games. Greenland's women have just finished a successful mini-tour of Denmark, winning both games in which they were involved, and could be capable of going one better than in 2013, when they lost to Bermuda 5:4 on penalties in the final. Others with high hopes of landing their first title - like Greenland - include the Isle of Man, Ynys Môn, the Isle of Wight and, of course, hosts Jersey.
The final is due to take place at Springfield Stadium in St. Helier on 3/7/15; please find below the entire fixture-list for the 2015 NatWest Island Games women's football tournament, with apologies for the lack of information as to the exact layout of the placing play-off matches.
