Ladies

NEW PLAYERS WELCOME

Tunbridge Wells Rugby Club Ladies Section started it’s life in 2014 although we had always had some strong players coming through our Mini Section.

Over the following seasons have seen them grow in both size and strength, with the U18, U15 7 U13 all going from strength to strength.

Our first season had our newly created U13 come runner up in the Kent Sevens;
2015-2016 & 2016-2017 had the U18 winning Area Trophies;
2017-2018 saw our U15 going to National Cup Semi-Finals;
2018-2019 the U18 had a great run winning the Kent League, Cup & Sevens before Covid hit;
2021-2022 saw the U15 come back from the Lockdowns with an exciting & definitive Kent Cup win.

In 2019 we added to our strength by offering younger players ‘girls-only’ rugby at U11s. This has brought new players to the club earlier and let some who didn’t enjoy mixed rugby the chance to keep playing.

From September 2022 the revised RFU Age-Grouping will commence with girls U12, U14, U16 & U18 sides playing competitive rugby & development rugby.

Please help us continue this fantastic run by getting more players involved so we can replace those who’ve gone moved age groups or grown up and gone to University. We would love to continue to give those that have achieved so much already, more goals to aim for. Whether being part of our friendly club, joining our strong representation in the County Squads, or taking the next step by getting into the RFU Centres of Excellent and England Talent Development Group. (currently 3 ex-players in the England set-up, and more playing for premiership & championship clubs)

Finally, after many years of trying we finally put out an OVER18s team in the 2022 Kent Sevens, playing 3 games against other new sides. Following their first competitive run-out, with mud on their faces and aching muscles, they confirmed their love for the game and are looking forward to playing in the Allianz Inner Warrior League in the 2022-2023 season.

If you are interested in getting involved either as a player, a coach or any other voluntary role, please contact Simon Parsons on 07753 933036 or ladies@twrfc.com

All players welcome from 10 to Adult, whether you have experience or not – COME AN’ ‘AVE A GO!!

Training continues on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30 (July onwards) and Sunday mornings depending if we have a match.
