Herts RFU AGM

At the Herts RFU AGM at Welwyn RFC on 25th June there were two significant events relating to Women's and Girl's Rugby in the County.

Firstly, the Herts Women's and Girls's Development Group have been elected Associate Members of the Herts RFU. The significance of this is that it raises the profile of Women's and Girl's Rugby in Herts and acknowledges the strength of the Game at Senior Level (Saracens, OA Saints, Hertford, Hitchin, Fullerians, Welwyn and Tabard) and Junior Level (Welwyn, Letchworth, Saracens and Hertford) plus others starting up or re-generating.

Secondly, Welwyn Warriors were presented with their RFU Presidents XV Runners-Up Trophy and Certificate in the 'Girl Power' Category. The Award was collected by Welwyn / Herts / East Region Players Hannah Marques and Hannah Gallagher (the latter on crutches, but who has the plaster removed from her broken ankle on 26th June). Letchworth Girls were also acknowledged for Winning the 'Modernisation' Category for the Letchworth Girls Blog and their Trophy and Certificate will be Awarded at a Presentation at their Club on 13th July.
