Regional fixtures announced

Details of the fixtures for regional youth teams have been released. 

Interestingly the proposal to link the U18 regional programme to the adult programme (where they have a three match national "league" followed by a final, but no festival) seems to have been dropped. This was proposed because there were concerns that the U18 festival consists of a series of short games when the main point of regional rugby was to give girls more "proper" rugby.

However there were objections to the proposal from players who enjoy the festival and also from parents and coaches who would have had to run a programme with different age group teams playing in different places. RFUW do listen sometimes, it seems.

Anyway - East's fixtures have been added to our fixture list (basically any of you make it through are off to Yorkshire again), while the full national list appears on the Herts blog.
