STAFFORDSHIRE FEMALE PIONEERS OF ENGLISH RUGBY

Celebrating some of our amazing pioneers (25 but so many more on the long list) Thanks to those that provided nominations many months ago. Hopefully this has reached your CB comms leads so you can do any local based features to help inspire people off pitch as well as all our players.

Staffordshire is immensely proud of our two recipients Becky Davies and Rhiannon O’Sullivan. Please see link below for full details.

“We are delighted to honour these 25 exceptional individuals as pioneers of English rugby. From those early days when the women’s game fought for recognition and opportunity, through to the thriving and rapidly developing landscape we see today, the role these individuals played has been nothing short of transformative. They are part of a much larger group who have transformed the game across England. We could have named far more pioneers than the 25.”
