Rye’s new girls team are playing their first matches this weekend when they travel to Hellingly for a triangular tournament against H3 and Lewes.
The girls have been training for six weeks and are looking forward to putting their new skills into practice. There are 14 girls in the squad ranging from 12 to 15 years of age, all of whom were introduced to the game through the club’s schools development programme. The girls attend Thomas Peacocke School in Rye and Robertsbridge Community College, where they also play matches against other schools.
The whole of Rye Rugby Club wishes the girls good luck for their first fixture. �
