End of a very long season

Well thats it for another season, I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all those girls and parents who along with the coaching and management staff have covered endless miles each week to play games.

Both age groups have done exceptionally well this season, with both sides bringing trophies back to the club.

The U15's retained their Rochford Charity 10's title for the 2nd year and the U18's also retained the Rochford 10's and added the Worthing 10's and Herts 7's to their tally.
the U18's were also involved in the National Cup where they buddied up with Welwyn and narrowly lost to Worcester in an enthralling final at Litchfield.

The start of the season saw new faces join the club at both age groups,and those girls have settled in really well and were a major part of this seasons successes.

Many of the girls were involved in both County and Regional rugby this season with the Essex U18's retaining their County Festival trophy and the U15's narrowly losing out to old rivals Herts in their final. At Regional level, both Regional sides were unlucky coming within a whisker away of a place in the Regional Festival finals.

We saw 4 of our U18 girls take part in the Junior Super League ( Emily, Natalie, Sarah C and Sophie)
while 4 of our U15 girls were selected to go to the School of Rugby in Herts (Yasmin, Lucie, Jess W and Megan)
2 girls were selected for the Eastern Counties school of rugby (Jess Harris and Alex Grant)
Well done to all those girls.

Sadly we have to say goodbye to those girls who are moving up to Senior rugby next season
Natalie, Sophie, Sarah C, Charlie, Cherelle.

Good luck girls you will be missed!

We also had a very good and entertaining tour up north at Easter. We were on the recieving end of some great hospitality from Mandy and all the people at Malton & Norton RFC and would like to say a big thank you from all at Basford.

A big thanks to all those clubs that we have played over the course of the season, I know the girls have made some great friends over this past year.

Lastly but not least a big thanks to all the management and Coaching staff for the endless hrs put in to make this club the success it is.

Thanks to you all
