Dorset & Wilts news.
On Saturday, DW was invited to attend another Women Rugby Inner Warrior Camp. This one was hosted by Oakmeadians RFC . The session was great fun and consisted of brand new players and regular Oaks players.
The team and coaches were very welcoming, and they all gave a strong team spirit vibe. They focused on passing and then built up into games. Starting with walking rugby, then touch rugby then semi contact. It was a great way to build confident and knowledge! If anyone is from the area and wants to give rugby a go, Oakmeadians are accepting new players all abilities. They train on Tuesdays at 7pm. If you are keen, send them a message on their socials!
Next club visit is the Women’s team at Warminster Rugby Football Club
So stay turned!
Blasts from the past.
