Girls rugby has taken off in a big way at Rye over the last two months. First we have got a new girls team who played their first matches at Hellingly in March against some tough opposition from H3 and South Sussex Barbarians and then we have had over 15 women joining the younger girls to form their own team ready for next season.
Now our girls have their first home game against Crowborough girls (anothert new outfit) on Sunday 27th April kick off at 11.30 after the boys U15 match at 10.30.
If you can make it get down to the club and support the girls (and boys) as they take on the might of Crowborogh, it should be a memorable end to the season.Â
