Congratulations to our very own Ella Scarffe who has been named in the RAF women’s rugby squad for tomorrow’s fixture against the Royal Navy!👏🏻
Having come up through our Cherubs and Angels pathway, we couldn’t be prouder of Ella and this incredible achievement. From being the Angels youngest ever captain, to playing anywhere from front row to fly half in the same game when required, we know Ella will make a massive impact during tomorrow’s game🤩
It has been an honour to watch her successes on and off the pitch and we are so excited for the next steps she is taking in her professional and playing career💪
From all of us at the Angels and wider Witney Rugby Club community, good luck Ella and we are so proud of you😇💙🖤
