🏉💪 Girls Rugby is Back! 💪🏉

What a fantastic first session back for our girls rugby section this evening! The smiles, energy, effort and teamwork on show were brilliant to see, with everyone working hard and having plenty of fun along the way.

It’s amazing to see our girls section continuing to grow, and this is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting season ahead. A huge well done to all the girls who attended and gave 100% in the heat! 👏

If you’re looking for a fun, welcoming environment to make new friends, build confidence and learn rugby, we’d love to see more girls come along and give it a try.

It was fantastic to see so many players, parents, coaches, volunteers, and supporters giving up their time to help around the club. Your hard work, enthusiasm, and community spirit made a massive difference, and we couldn’t do it without you.
