The Under 14 Bassett Ravens headed to Winchester RFC this weekend for a Red Roses Rugby Festival.

It was an afternoon of games and skill sessions on challenging pitches under the gaze of England internationals Abby Dow, Jess Breach, Connie Powell and Liz Crake.

The Ravens started with a couple of games of 10-a-side. The muddy pitches made for some tricky handling conditions, but the players enjoyed getting their hands dirty.

 

 

The girls had an opportunity to chat with Jess and Connie between matches, getting some words of advice and encouragement.  They joined all the teams for a group photo, before attending a Q&A session with the Red Roses, and asking for signatures for our Raven's flag.

It was a great day!
