At the end of last season with many players and one of the coaching staff leaving the club the decision was made to disband the unofficial cluster between Basildon & Rochford girls teams (Basford).
As all but 3 of the remaining girls were all members of Rochford, it was decided to play under the banner of Rochford Rugby club and to wear Rochford colours from the start of the season.
The decision to move across to Rochford was accepted by Basildon who passed on their best wishes to the girls for the coming season.
With the departure of last seasons U 18 coach, a new coaching team of Tony McClarnon and Ian McCready will take the U18’s into the new season.
The U15’s will again be coached by Jeff Stembridge and Peter Turner.
Last season was successful for both sides with the Kent and Sussex league title going to both age groups.
With both teams again being entered into the league this season, there will be plenty of rugby being played by the girls this year.
We also have a new sponsor this season, and would like to say a big thanks to S&J Electrics for their support over the last two seasons.
