MoreA Season in the Life of a Hammers Lady - 2010/11
Wimbledon (H): 7-45 First friendly of the new season against last year’s league victors. This London South West derby was an opportunity for the new girls to learn the Hammers’ way of rugby (hands) and show the old girls that there’s plenty of competition for the starting line-up. Wimbledon once again showed us why they got promoted but the game was far friendlier than the score suggests. Bring on the HammerDon return fixture in 2011.
Harlequins (H): 0-12
A skeleton Harlequins side made the trek to South West London. Although late in arriving and forced to beg players from the side-lines somehow managed to catch the Hammers napping in the opening few minutes to score two tries. The rest of the match was an even tussle and the Hammers were unlucky to not get one score for their efforts. Even though this went down as another loss, the moral victory was the Hammers as we lent them half a team!
Ladies, fancy playing rugby in London?
Hammersmith & Fulham Ladies are looking for enthusiastic and committed people to join the Club! We play a good standard of 15s rugby, coming 4th in our league (National Challenge SE North 1) in the 2010/2011 season. We are a very sociable and lively team who train hard and play hard enjoying some good times at the pub - we have an excellent social scene throughout the year, culminating in a Tour and Bournemouth 7s at the end of the season.
It doesn’t matter what your level is and absolute beginners are more than welcome. We have 3 dedicated coaches and train twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30-9pm at Hurlingham Park and we play on Sunday afternoons (but not every week).
