I am delighted to announce that we will be launching a women’s touch rugby team at Long Buckby this season.

 

The focus will be on having fun but there is a reasonable chance that the ladies will get a bit of exercise too, and will hopefully come to love the game.

 

This follows on from the huge success we had last season with setting up a girls squad from scratch - now with 30+ players.

 

Training schedule has yet to be confirmed but we are having a fun intro session this Friday 16th August at the club.

 

Some of the senior girls will also be there to show the new players the ropes so please can I ask two big favours of you:

 

  1. a) please can you encourage your partners, daughters and friends to come along and give it a go?

 

  1. b) Please can you post this message on social media and forward it on to appropriate groups

 

In a few weeks time we could have a women vs men game if you lot are fit enough 😁

 

Training will run from 7-8pm and we will head to the bar / pub afterwards.

 

 

All the best,

 

James Lyon
