A former pupil at Rydal Penrhos will be taking part in a prestigious rugby match this week

Laura Nunez-Mulder, who left the school in 2013, is now studying at Cambridge University and has been selected to take part in the second annual women’s varsity match at Twickenham on Thursday, December 8.

This is the second time that women will take part in the clash, which has been played by men from both universities for over a century.

Cambridge will be looking to secure bragging rights after dominating the inaugural clash with a virtuoso display that saw them beat Oxford 52-0.

During her time at the school Laura scored an impressive 45 out of 45 in her International Baccalaureate (IB), making her one of only 108 pupils from 127,000 worldwide to achieve the maximum score.

Director of Sport Allen Boyd, said: “This is one of the most prominent dates on the women’s rugby calendar, and we wish Laura and the Cambridge University side well as they look to make it two-in-a-row in the Varsity Match.

“She was an extremely successful pupil at Rydal Penrhos and it is wonderful to see her flourishing in university, something that everyone at the school anticipated.”

Kick-off at Twickers is set for 11.30am and Laura will start the game wearing the number three shirt.
