Following a month of intensive recruiting, we now have a list of around 15 girls interested in joining the new squad
Training will begin on Thursday 13th November, 6.30-7.30 p.m., with training every week on Thursday thereafter. Niamh McGlone will be leading the group, with support from other coaches.
The squad is open to girls who are beginning school years 5, 6, 7 & 8 in September 2014
The RFU is very keen to develop Girls-only squads to play tag, touch and contact rugby, and allow girls to have the same opportunity as boys to play this brilliant game. For Broad Plain an all-girls squad means that girls who play in the mini teams will no longer have to leave the club when they become too old to play in mixed squads.
Anyone interested in kicking off this exciting development, please contact Nick Jeanes on 0117 9231937 or nickjeanes@btinternet.com, or Niamh McGlone 07807 771680 or niamh.mcglone@gmail.com. Alternatively, just show up at Thursday training. Don't forget to bring a friend!
