Girls Love Rugby @Canterbury RFC: Tue 23/09

On Tuesday, 23 September, we went to Canterbury Rugby Club for a special “Girls Love Rugby” event. To start the day, we got creative decorating flags before heading out onto the pitch to learn how to tackle properly. Everyone gave it a real go and showed great energy!

We were really lucky to have a guest speaker too – a current Saracens Ladies player – who talked to us about her rugby journey and what it’s like to play at the top level. It was really inspiring to hear how much women’s rugby has grown.

Sadly, the bad weather cut the day short, but it didn’t stop us from working hard and having lots of fun. Everyone showed brilliant commitment, and a special shout-out goes to Rubi, who won a prize for her fantastic effort and attitude.

We all came away with smiles on our faces, and hopefully some of us will feel inspired to give rugby a go outside of school!
