Ladies

Longton Ladies - the Badgers - started in 2003 as Newcastle (Staffs) Ladies. They played in a friendly league for their first season in 2003/2004.

Longton Ladies has a proud tradition of squad members being selected to play for representative squads from Staffordshire, West Midlands with one original team member now playing in the Premiership and has been capped for England. More recently during the 2009-10 season one member was selected for the Welsh under 20s squad. We are very proud of the efforts of our team members and always support the development of our girls, we have a dedicated female Level 2 Qualified Coach.

We have a committed squad of players here, and we are always keen to encourage new players who would like to give rugby a try. How about playing a bit of rugby in your spare time? Don't worry if you've never played before, why not get yourself outside in the fresh air, meet some new people, become a bit fitter and of course get muddy in a fun, friendly atmosphere. There is a great social side and would encourage team bonding!

Laura Brown, the team's Captain says, "We'd encourage anyone to come and give rugby a go. We have a range of abilities and ages throughout the club and we all started out by just mucking in! Whether you are 18 or 50 there will be something in it for you!."

There is also a dedicated Team Manager and Physio for the team, we take the management and the welfare of the squad seriously and always want to encourage team spirt and cohesion.

Fixtures are played on a Sunday  either at Home Trentham Fields or away at the other team's grounds, so feel free to come and watch and support. Full details are available on our fixture list.

Alternatively why not come along to training on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7.00 p.m. - 8.30 p.m. at Longton Rugby's ground at Trentham Fields. Please have a look at our map to find out where we are, I look forward to meeting you!
