An open letter to clubs
Dear All
I am writing to introduce myself and the group I currently represent. I am Katie James, chairperson of the Women and Girl’s Rugby Development Forum in Oxfordshire, former player and currently a coach at Gosford All Blacks.. The Forum is made up of coaches and others who are keenly interested in taking forward the Women’s and Girl’s game in Oxfordshire.
We are realising that many girls who play rugby at mini’s level are lost at the end of the U12 season; a significant number because they don’t know where else to play.
This is the purpose of my letter; to summarise the opportunities for women and girls to play in Oxfordshire at Senior, Under 18, Under 15 and Under 13 level.We currently have three Senior Women’s sides in Oxfordshire; Henley Ladies WRFC, Oxford WRFC and Witney WRFC.
Henley will be playing in Championship League South West 2 in the forthcoming season, and Oxford and Witney both in National Challenge League South East West 2.
If you know any U18’s girls who are interested in continuing or indeed starting their rugby careers at Senior Level, they should contact:- Ali Mortimore, Henley Hawks Ladies (alistair.mortimore@virgin.net) on 07977 549922; Georgie White, Oxford Ladies (georgiewhite44@hotmail.com); or Andrea Thomas, Witney Angels (andrea693@btinternet.com) 07748 485044.
For U18’s, the following clubs provide training as a club. However, due to limited numbers at the moment, matches are played as two clusters: a North Oxfordshire cluster and a South Oxfordshire Cluster.
The coaches/contact details for the clubs are as follows:-
It is a hugely exciting time for Women’s and Girl’s Rugby in Oxfordshire and we look forward to welcoming any new recruits whether they are players, coaches or managers.
If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me by email k8tait@yahoo.co,uk or 07748 962939.
