Herts County u15 Girls
Nine Hitchin Rugby under 15 girls were selected to play for Hertfordshire on Sunday (9 November) in a county match against Surrey under 15s Girls Rugby.
Megan Gregory, Rosie Inman, Holly Pomfret, Grace Spillane, Alice Tomlinson and Rachel Warren, all of Hitchin, led the Herts team to a comprehensive 59-22 victory over the Surrey squad. Unfortunately three team-mates Megan Parry, Scarlett Welbury and Ellie Wilson were not available to play on the day.
Adrian Pomfret, the Representative for Girls Rugby on Hitchin’s Mini and Youth Committee said, "We now have one of the largest girls rugby squads in the county and so we're very proud that Hitchin Girls made up such a large contingent of the Hertfordshire team."
John Walsh, the M&Y Chair added, "Hitchin Rugby Club has been working hard to encourage participation in Girls Rugby. We hope this success at county-level will encourage more girls in the Hitchin area to give rugby a try".
Hitchin RFC has Girls Rugby squads for under 13s, under 15s and for under 18s. To find out more about girls rugby email MYMembership@HitchinRugby.com
