Culcheth Eagles Girls RL

A big away game in a big stadium against a very good team... and we're READY for it 💪🔥
Last time we met, we were locked at 6-6 at half-time before tiring in the final 10 minutes and allowing KR to do what they do best – score tries.
Since that day, we've had an outstanding run of form and haven't lost a game. The hard work, preparation and commitment from this group has been brilliant, and we've had a fantastic build-up to this one.
The challenge is huge, but so is the belief in this squad. Time to test ourselves against one of the best and show how far we've come.
Let's go, Eagles! 🦅

Annabelle, proudly sponsored by Artisan Tiling, is one of those players whose contributions can sometimes go under the radar because she consistently does the basics so well and makes very few mistakes.
A powerful forward, Annabelle is always willing to take on the tough carries through the middle, making the hard metres that help the team gain momentum. She never shies away from the physical side of the game, putting her hand up time and time again when the team needs her most.
Defensively, she is strong and reliable, while in attack her running lines and option-running keep opposition defensive lines guessing. At Premier Division level, games are often decided by which pack wins the arm wrestle, and Annabelle is regularly at the heart of that battle.

There's a reason why Grace is our captain, and on Saturday she showed exactly why.
When selecting their Player of the Match, Normanton's coach summed her performance up perfectly: "She controlled everything." Grace was at the heart of everything the team did, organising play, setting up great attacking lines, and ensuring the team stayed on the front foot throughout the game.

Defensively, she put in some huge tackles, while in attack she broke the line on numerous occasions, causing problems every time she got the ball in hand. Combined with her strong mindset and determination, Grace truly led from the front and set the standard for those around her.

Captain Grace and Vice-Captain Amelia selected Emily as their Player of the Match following an excellent performance from dummy-half.

Emily played a key role in controlling the team from the number 9 position, helping to guide the attack around the field and setting up some great plays for her teammates. She showed good awareness to pick the right moments to run, making valuable metres whenever opportunities presented themselves.

What really stood out was her incredible work rate throughout the game. Emily was constantly involved, supporting teammates in attack and working tirelessly in defence, making a huge contribution from start to finish.

A well-deserved award for a fantastic all-round performance. Well done, Emily!

Grace has had a few challenges with confidence recently, but on Saturday it looked like she found her second wind.
It was fantastic to see her eager to get onto the pitch and determined to make a difference for the team. Her enthusiasm and commitment were clear for everyone to see, and she rewarded that confidence with some strong contributions in both attack and defence.

Most importantly, it was great to see Grace enjoying her rugby and backing herself. Keep believing, Grace – you've got plenty to offer, and we're all proud of the progress you're making!
