I was thinking.....Interesting that the Girls are also referred to as “yellows” - perhaps they should be called the “Ewes”??

I remember watching some Oxford women’s rugby (as you do) back in the day. I had no idea who was playing who, so I asked another spectator, a lady, and It seems it was Oxford Polytechnic Ladies playing someone. My fellow spectator also told me the team were know as “The Poly Bags”.

A fun name but I guess you couldn’t get away with it today...sad...but somebody would be offended. ?

Yellow roses perhaps?

The Ox- esses (like England women as the lionesses)doesnt seem quite right to me

The cows wouldn't sound right.

The cows wouldn't sound right.

The Bovines or Bovinenesses then.

How about the Hornies?

The cows wouldn't sound right.

Maybe the moos

Some interesting suggestions. Would the fact, that an ox is usually a neutered bullock, allow the term ‘oxen’ to be used and inclusivity assured?

just asking.
