Podding on a Tuesday...

Ladies Wot Pod Series 2!! Episode 45 - Saints set PREM try records in London as Lightning win the East Midlands Derby

Where Lis is on the pod from Greece whilst Claire is still on the edge of the Fens. We start wth news from high seas as our latest chapter of Saints related sailing news has arrived.

We talk about the Saints End of Season Dinner where both Claire and Lis met lots of people, there were a lot of awards and lots of fun. Lis went on holiday and Claire went to training where she dodged the showers and met a man from the Daily Telegraph.

And of course we talk about Quins where the Saints lads set some records, we learned loads (as did some of the team) and we learned it will be Tigers in the semi final. As a result, Dave on the Sofa was out and about.

On Sunday, the first East Midlands Derby of this week happened at Welford Road - the Lightning team battled to a good win. And then it was time for some emotional goodbyes.

Finally, we look forward to the semi-final against Tigers - to say we are excited doesn’t do it justice! Bring it on!

It’s a busy pod so please do have a listen.

Have a listen and enjoy!

Much love, the Ladies Wot Pod
