| Miscellaneous |
"Being the only original from the Rugby Club 7's with the Holybush that started off this Ladies Rugby team. I have seen many players come and go for the Angels but I feel that the squad we have at the moment, although short on backs, is one of the strongest we've had. We have managed to get the hard core from 6 up to 10, so hopefully in the next couple of seasons it will be 12-14 and one day 15-20. I admire each and everyone of the girls in the team for their quirks and personalities and individual rugby skills that they possess. For the past 5 years, Witney Rugby Club has been like a second home and everyone has made me feel welcome - its that old Witney Club family extension thing. Thanks everyone Actually you girls are a bunch of bitches but that wouldn't have taken up so much space !" Players Comment - Editors Comment - |
