Ravens Under 16s | Squad
As the girls' game was cancelled this week so we scheduled a gym session and worked on legs!
Each one of the team who joined in on the sessions put their all into it and worked hard. The session ended up on the pitch, where some of the girls asked if they could stay on and do some fitness, kicking and cool downs. So they played, rugby tennis, rugby rounders and ended up the fun with a bit of American Football.
Ravens Under 18s | Amy
Amy put in a WOTM performance with some very strong support play and always breaking the game line when receiving the ball.
Although the result didn’t go our way, our team performed well and will carry on improving week by week game by game.
