Bath Bees Ladies Rugby League

Try a new sport or code of Rugby as a new years resolution, an opportunity to be part of a sustainable movement to grow Rugby League in and around Bath, express an interest 👇🏉

CLUB STATEMENT

After ‘soft’ launching Bath Bees as a women’s Rugby League operation last summer, we want to double down on our efforts to run a sustainable women’s Rugby League team in the heart of Bath, giving potential players living in the city an opportunity to play on their doorstep and also surrounding Wiltshire and Somerset areas. We are also hopeful of former and potentially new men’s teams wanting to play Rugby League in the West of England in summer 2025, with this in mind we would like to test the waters to see what the appetite would be for a men’s Rugby League club in Bath, as there is no active club in the area currently. Subject to having sufficient interest for both women’s and men’s the format of fixtures is likely to be a more festival merit league format with potentially some additional friendly fixtures (not commitment to fixtures on a weekly basis, likely to be two festivals a month maximum).

Stalwart of the game in the South, Glenn Tyreman will continue as Director of Rugby. In order to sustain Rugby League in the city in the medium to long term, Glenn would welcome the support of not just potential players but also coaching staff, team managers, sports therapists, marketeers, social media experts, match reporters, kit personnel etc along with many other positions which we may not have fully thought through. Potential partners and sponsors are also key to sustaining and growing a club in the medium to long term. Please get in touch if you feel you or your organisation could support in this area.

At a national level we have just seen one of the most competitive play-off series in Super League, with Wigan Warriors winning all trophies on offer including beating their Australian counterparts and we are fortunate to have just had Samoa in the UK playing a two-match series against England which saw England win the series 2-0. In the Women’s game England have had an international fixture with Wales which has become an annual event which England managed to win comfortably on this occasion.

We are ambitious to grow the Rugby League pathway at grassroots level in and around Bath.

We have launched a couple of Microsoft Forms surveys to help us gauge interest levels for women’s players, men’s players and other personnel such as coaches, team managers etc.

The most common sport to transfer from is Rugby Union but we welcome talent transfer from other sports and also players with no experience. Rugby Union players can combine with their existing commitments as Rugby League is a summer sport so potential to do both.
