commiserations to our girls that didn't make it into the squad. This success shows how much effort these girls put in to their rugby and the standard they are now playing to. The next challenge now is to prove their worth in the training sessions and fight for a place in the match day 22.

Congratulations to all the girls from around the county and we wish Team Durham the very best for the county season. We will bring you news of how the girls progress over the season.

Any girls who want to get involved with female rugby are more than welcome to join us at Hartlepool Rovers. We have teams for under 13s 15s 18s and a ladies team. No matter what your ability we will welcome you into our teams and you will receive coaching form our qualified and dedicated staff to get you to where you want to be.
