Thank You & Welcome

On behalf of the Coaching & Management Team, I would like to thank all those girls who attended the trials today. The quality and commitment shown by all was fantastic, and you did yourselves and your clubs proud. Please remember that all kit needs to be ordered from our suppliers website, www.michaelhope.co.uk by Fri 20th September, so it can be ready for the County Festival. If you didn't take ordering instruction from me, please email me: dwgirlsrugby_ross@yahoo.co.uk & I will send you the details. I look forward to seeing all those selected at our next training session on 28th September @ Bryanston. Ross
