Welcome to Wallingford Maidens Rugby
Wallingford Maidens is fast becoming the premier girls rugby team in Oxfordshire.
The Maidens run 2 teams:
- U15 for years 9 & 10 and
- U18 for years 11, 12 & 13
- U12 and U13 for year 7 and 8 tag to tackle development.
Below: U15's Team 10/11
Both teams contribute players to county and the Thames Valley region. We had 3 U15 girls playing in the Thames Valley team that reached the final of the U15 National regional competition of England & Wales in 2010. Our girls scored the try that took TV to the final and the only try of the final. So we have some of the very best players around!
4 u15 Maidens have been selected to play for South West England Division this year(2011) , Rowan White, Olivia Jones, Maddy Peris and Imogen Reay. We look forward to seeing the impact they make in the divisional matches. The girls will recieve a higher level training programme run by the RFUW with Wallingford RFC playing host to many of the sessions.
We play at various tournaments. Below is the U15 7s team that played at the Hertfordshire 7s in May 2010.
But it is not all about winning. You've never seen a team enjoy Tuesday night training as much as the Wallingford Maidens!
There are not so many girls playing rugby and Wallingford is the only club in Oxfordshire that can field a full team - but only just. We need more players. Experience is not required - we provide all the instruction you need.
Come and join us and enjoy not only the on-the-pitch fun but also the off-pitch fun. We make several social trips out each year from outward-bound long weekends to watching big games at Twickenham and nearby Wasps & London Irish.
Some of our girls were charmed by Danny Cipriani (photo below) at a Wasps match in late 2009.
Training is at 6.30pm every Tuesday during season and matches are on Sunday afternoons. Come and join us at training or contact Mark or Clare for more info.
