The Letchworth Girls' Rugby 'blog originally contained news and information about girls' rugby section based at Letchworth Garden City RUFC between 2004 and 2010, but these days is mainly a source of information, discussion and speculation about women's and girls' rugby in England and overseas.
Though the girls have moved on the blog continues in order to preserve and honour the memories of the greatest bunch of young people to have ever played the game (IMHO!). It is aimed at players past and present, as well as anyone else interested in women's rugby who might be trying to make sense of what on earth is going on, even if that meant going to an unofficial and uncensored source of speculation, debate and discussion about the game.
It has no official connection with any girls' or women's teams currently representing Letchworth GC RUFC is NOT an official website within the meaning of RFU Regulation 5.

Did anyone at the RFC check the weather forecast? There's no rain between now and Sunday anywhere in the UK other than a light shower in East Anglia. While I'm sure the condition of some piches will be questionable, did they really have to cancel the county festival nationwide? Surely, some regions could have easily gone ahead? It's difficult enough for girls to get good competitive fixtures during the year without the RFU taking such a blunt and inflexible approach to the county programme.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. The weather was much worse last weekend.I know player safety must come first but rugby is a winter sport, some regions could have gone ahead and wanted to but were overuled. Just shows that there is no flexibility from the rfu over girls rugby.
ReplyDeleteAnd disappointing as many club league matches have not been played in the first half of the season & there'll be even less girls rugby played when the Divisional programme starts in January.
