Welcome To Bath Rugby Ladies

Bath Rugby is considered to have one of the most successful Ladies set ups in the country. First class training facilities and support services allow player development for all ages and levels.

Background

Bath Rugby Ladies was founded in the summer of 2004 as a result of a partnership between the Bath Rugby Community Foundation, the University of Bath and the Bath and North East Somerset Active Leisure team. We aim to give all females an opportunity to participate in rugby within a safe, friendly and enjoyable environment, whilst providing the best facilities and coaching available.

The squad has also benefited from some generous funding from SITEC (Shirt Sponsor), Pulteney Arms, Expertees and Sportsmatch. The squad is also supported by Blackthorn Cider and Aquatravel Ltd.

The ladies started their inaugural season of league rugby (2004/5) in South West Three and after an outstanding season were promoted to South West One for 2005/6. The team has continued to build over this time, and at the end of the 2006/7 season they earned the South West One league title.

The squad now trains on a twice weekly basis at Bath Rugby's Lambridge training ground and at the University of Bath.

Home matches are played either at Lambridge or at the Recreation Ground and the Ladies play in the traditional blue, black and white colours of Bath Rugby. Training nights are usually on Tuesdays and Fridays with league matches being played on Sunday afternoons.

The Ladies are always looking for new players regardless of experience. Anyone interested in joining should contact Vicky Heslop (Secretary) on 07780 703031 e-mail vicky.heslop@bathrugby.com or Jimmy Deane (Head Coach) on 01225 325200 email jimmy.deane@bathrugby.com
