Women's Rugby

History

Women’s rugby has been played in England since the late 1970s, although it did not see a really rapid expansion until the formation of the Rugby Football Union for Women in 1983. In 1983, the Union consisted of 12 teams based in England and Wales. Now the RFUW represents over 200 clubs in England alone and has seen an impressive growth in the women’s game not only at the senior level but also amongst the under 16 age group.

Attention Ladies !

Rugby could be the sport for you. Don't believe us ? - come try it  and see.

Burnham On Crouch Rugby Club has had a ladies squad for the past eight years. We have varying success on the pitch, but always enjoy ourselves both during the game and in the bar afterwards.

Its an excellent way to get a little fitter, whilst at the same time having a great time.

We are always looking for new players of any fitness level. No matter what your size or shape, there is a position from teens to spritely middle age.

Its a great way to meet people if you are new to the area, as you get at least 15 new friends all at once.

Don't worry about not knowing anything about Rugby, as most of us didn't know one end of the ball from the other when we started (and some would say we still don't) but we have fun.

So come and give it a try, you might just enjoy it.
