Read about the event hosted by Oxford RFC on 22nd August.
On Tuesday 22nd August Oxford RFC was the host venue for the Oxfordshire #InnerWarrior Camp. The Camps are England Rugby's latest women and girls national campaign and forms part of a four year strategy looking at ways to encourage new female players into the game.
Our #InnerWarrior Camp at North Hinksey Village was aimed at encouraging ladies who were new to the game to enjoy a fun activity alongside several ladies from local universities, armed forces and those returning to the county after studying away.
Olivia Jones from the England Women Sevens Squad supported the event by training alongside the participants and encouraged our new ladies to find their Inner Warrior. Olivia is an Oxfordshire girl who came through the pathway system to reach the top; a fine role model for all of our Women and Girls in Oxfordshire.
After the session, the ladies joined Oxford RFC club members in the clubhouse to watch the thrilling Rugby World Cup Semi-Final between England and France. A fantastic connection between elite rugby, #InnerWarrior and the social side of being a member of a grassroots rugby club.
RFU Community Rugby Coach Gary Morris said afterwards, "It was a really good event and it was great to be part of a national campaign. I would like to say a huge thanks to Oxford RFC for hosting the event, James Clark and Polly Richardson for helping to run the practical sessions; and to Lotty Ashton and Charlotte Nichols, both Young Rugby Ambassadors (YRA’s), who did the administration on the day."
