Nicola Joyce Comments: “ It’s was great to get play underway again at Vagrants Park this weekend, we had mixed results but positive performances from both sides with more colts making debuts which is what we are all about! This week was also very special for the club as we celebrated last seasons Ladies Captain, Mollie Lathem, win the Player of The Year at the national rugby awards in Twickenham - beating 400 other applicants, many from the Premiership! We are incredibly proud of her and everything she does for the club! This is a great omen to start the season and we can’t wait for the first xv, Ladies and Junior Colts to kick off their season this weekend too!”
