Congratulations to both the U15's and the U18's who have finished as winners of their respective leagues.
Both teams played in the Kent & Sussex league this year and have travelled to some old friends and to new clubs.
Extract of email from Jedda Taylor (League organiser)
The congratulations is much deserved - Basford I think are a formidable squad for any team in the country to encounter! You, as coaches must be very proud and pleased. Congratulations to you too.
I can only re-iterate my, and everyone elses thanks to all your players, coaches and parents who have made such an effort this season. The travelling can't have been easy at all. I have family in Essex so know what that bloomin' bridge/tunnel can be like at times!
Basford are deserved winners and I hope the girls/clubs enjoy their end-of-season presentations. Please pass on my thanks to all the players and the parents.
It was a great display of rugby by Basford!
Kind Regards,
Jedda

Also congratulations to both the team captains Olivia (U15's) and Sarah MCB (U18's)
Sarah leaves the club at the end of the season to go of to "sunny Climes", well Scotland to tackle University life. She has had a terrific season despite coming back from a truly horrendous leg break and like last years captain (Natalie Worthing 10's) signs off with some silver ware.
Well done also to the girls who made the step up from U15's to U18's this year, a great effort by all of you.
Thanks also to Our generous sponsors without whom we would not have been able to start the season with new attire.
Also to the parents for the endless travelling to games week in week out.
But a very special thanks to Paula who has done so much to ensure that all the girls have had a season of rugby this year.
