A main objective for the 2015 Championships was to enter a female side. This was accomplished in abundance with the female side wining two of their four pool games against the Royal Signals and Royal Artillery, securing a place in the Semi- nals. The ladies eventually placed third after losing a hard fought match against the more experienced Army Medical Service.
Both teams displayed sound temperament but due to player numbers and injuries 2015 proved a dif cult year. Having now regenerated a female team and with more individuals showing interest in the RAPTC Basketball, the team is set to grow in time
