Number of Tries
Tries for 1st	6 or 7, I know it’s not many!
Captain	Did it at uni and loved it, might for it for the Angels in a few years.
Match Day Superstitions	Don’t really like to talk much before a game, have my own place in the corner of the changing room I like to get ready in. 5 cans of redbull also help.
Most Admired International Player	Most Admired International Player Neil Back and Richard Hill, passionate players who were ledge to watch on the back row, and also Jonny Wilkinson because I love him. MOST ADMIRED WITNEY PLAYER(s) AND WHY: Blokes: Scottie for always supporting the Angels and for doing so much for the club, MTF, a great player to watch, always talking to and supporting his players, and Nick Godfrey and Goz for being good coaches. Anyone who can put up with coaching the Angels must be some sort of saint. Angels: Smorley, always reliable and there when you need her and so bloody quick! Jess for being my BG, Bob for always firing us up before a game and Cath Cath for being so passionate about her rugby, that's why she's my idol, can’t imagine ever playing for the Angels without them.
Favourite Rugby Tour	Brixam was very memorable, my first tour, gorgeous weather and Nick removing his pants on the beach, I looked over at just the wrong time . . . say no more. Also when I went to Lloret De Mar with uni, can't remember much of it, just I had never drank so much vodka in my life and it took me about 2 weeks to recover
Most Embarrassing moment on the Pitch	Hurting my leg in a match, was convinced I had broken it, I made such a fuss I was taken to hospital to have an x-ray, only to be told I had mildly bruised it. Telling everyone at training the next week was quite embarrassing. (I don't cope well with pain) Any of my many on-pitch tantrums
Most Embarrasing moment off the Pitch	Falling over in iZi a few weeks ago, the fact that it was in front of some of the rugby lads (who were more than happy to take the piss) made it ten times worse! Any time I have said something stupid, which happens quite often, like when I was looking at the fixture list for our new season, turning to Bob and saying, "who's this team BYE we're playing next week" . . .took me a good 5 minutes to realize why everyone was laughing at me.
Best Match for Witney	Beating Chippenahm and winning the league a few years back. Was a home game and loads of people turned up to watch up in the crappy weather. All the girls played their hearts out and it really paid off! Also got player of the match which made it even better!
Worst Match for Witney	^{Tewksbury a few years ago, they were beasts and most of the game was spent fighting with them.}
How to improve training	^{To stop talking at the same time as the coach…Cath…}
Remaining Rugby Ambitions	To win another league and get promoted with the Angels, get selected for regional and to marry Jonny Wilkinson.
Miscellaneous	OTHER SPORTS TRIED: Football (which i was crap at), Hockey, Basketball, Swimming Funniest Rugby Moment: When Catherine squealed 'oh Scottie' when he turned up at one of our games, watching Nick combusting on the sideline was hilarious and when my shorts split in a lineout when we were training with the boys, slightly embarrassing but so funny. Pet Hate: When I’m walking down a crowded street in a rush and I get stuck walking behind the slowest person in the world. Desert Island Companion and why: Patrick McGuiness! Obviously if he wasn’t available then it would be Jonny. Favourite Food & Drink: Fajitas/ Lager and Lime Worst Drink: Gold Tequila (ask Lou for the story, I am sure she will be more than happy to tell you) Most Attractive Male: Mr Wilkinson Bad Habits Swearing too much, being a stroppy cow when I don’t get my own way, have also been know to overreact and be a bit dramatic when I am drunk or have hurt myself (the tendonitis incident) Knickers or Thongs, and why? French knickers Favourite Quote? Do say whatever alot What would your dream job be? Physio for the England rugby team…yes please! ^J Your first job as a teenager? Checkout girl in Sainsburys (no I didn’t wear the orange fleece) Favourite thing about rugby? Getting muddy, getting pissed and singing songs What's the wildest post-match celebration you've had? When we went back to Merilles house for a BBQ. I ended up running into some patio doors and spent most of the evening in the hot tub laughing at Feisty trying to keep her head above the water. Also received a marriage proposal from Lou. Anything else you would like add? That I love the Angels loads and thanks to our coaches and to all the people that support us. EDITORS COMMENT ^{Jenny has really progressed since starting and her enthusiasm is great for the squad. One who listens to the coaches and is eager to learn and will become a good player as her work rate is high too (especially in Touch Rugby when there are some lads to impress!). As you can tell from the above also enjoys the social side and I'm sure will add to the list of embarrassing (and best) moments as the seasons go by!}
