And now the end is near...
The final league game - and the final XVs game - of the season is on Sunday at Letchworth, when the U15s and U18s take on Berkshire Barbarians. Both games will be on the first team pitch - and you will be delighted to hear that the club will be watering it overnight so that it will not be the consistency of concrete! U15s will be playing their game first (12.15 meet) followed by the U18s.
The season is far from over as there are still a whole raft of tournaments to look forward to, but this will be the final fixture at Letchworth this season - and for Nikki, Jess, Natalie and Chloe their final (perhaps ever) games at Legends Lane.
Its therefore a significant occasion. Nikki in particular has spent a third of her life turning up at Letchworth twice a week (or more), every week, apart from the summer months. She has played rugby in the black and amber since the spring 2004 - including the very first ever game. Jess and Nat have been regulars for almost as long, having first set foot on the hallowed turf the following year, while for Chloe it will be the end of her one and only season in black and amber.
If any former legends are reading this perhaps they might like to come along and cheer the girls on?
