GIRLS U15 and U18 DIVISIONAL FESTIVAL

Written by David Chatterton

Monday, 21 November 2011 15:30

The Divisional Festival for Girls U15 and U18 was held at Frome RFC on Sunday 20th November.

The Cornwall U15s squad, who drew with Dorset/Wilts 2 weeks a ago, were in fighting form from the off. In total they played 6 matches and remained undefeated U15s SW Divisional Champions.

Their first match was a return against Dorset/Wilts which Cornwall won convincingly 27:0 (tries from Kaitlyn Bridge, Anoushka Gregorvich (2), Daisy Phillips and Ella Sanford with Chloe Stead (captain) converting one of them.

Match two was against Oxon which Cornwall won 12:7 (tries Shannon Hocking, Michaella Roberts, conversion, Chloe Stead).

Match three was a 10:0 win against Somerset (tries Anoushka Gregorvich, Tallulah Murphy).

Match four saw another 10:0 win against Gloucestershire with two tries by Tallulah Murphy.

Match five was a successful 5:0 win against local rivals Devon try being scored by Ella Sanford.

The final match was the team's only draw at 5:5 against Berkshire the try being scored by Kaitlyn Bridge.

Huge congratulations must go to the whole squad and their coach Dave Roberts and manager Sarah Kneale. Head coach Andy Demaine was unable to be there on the day, but is very proud of everyone.

The Under 18s Cornwall Squad was depleted by injury, but 6 girls travelled to Frome to join with a similarly delpeted side from Oxford and Bucks. Once again, the girls from these teams showed great spirit in joining together to enable all the girls to play. Congratulations to Emma Thomas, Aimee Vian, Cassie Walker, Laura McLuckie, Cora Park and Stephanie Serren; and thanks to Lauren Chenoweth who, being injured, helped to manage the team.

Their first match against Dorset/Wilts resulted in a much closer score than a fortnight ago losing only 15:12. In their second match the girls had a resounding win against Somerset of 38:0. In the final play-off against Gloucestershire they narrowly lost 17:15 making the combined team in 4th position.

The Junior County season now being over, coaches will nominate girls from both age groups to take place in SW Divisional Trials in January. Trials will include girls from all 8 counties.

Playing Women & Girls County rugby in Cornwall and how to get there

Background:

Girls’ rugby in Cornwall was resurrected some 6 years ago with the development of The Liskeard Leopards U14s and U17s teams. Shortly after that Newquay Queen Bees started two teams; in the last 4 years the Leopards have formed their own all girls mobile rugby club taking in girls from Saltash, Liskeard, Callington, Looe, Bodmin and Fowey. Ladies teams had existed for some time at Liskeard and Truro, but were very difficult to keep alive. 2011 is the year in which there are now 5 junior teams – at U13s, U15s and U18s the Liskeard Leopards Womens RFC and Newquay Queen Bees (Newquay Hornets RFC) and at U15s and U18s Launceston RFC (who started up again last year). Two new Clubs have started up girls’ rugby this season – Helston RFC with U15s and U18s and Redruth RFC at U13s and U15s. There are also now two Senior Ladies teams in the Duchy at Penryn RFC and St Austell RFC.

The first Junior County matches started back in 2004 and this year we are pleased to be able to field a Senior Ladies’ squad for the third year in a row. We are very pleased to have received the support of the Cornwall RFU over all these years. Girls are proud to wear the black and gold and this year hope to win back the Tamar Cup into the Duchy.

This year has also seen National success for a number of Cornish players:

England U20s Women:

	Lucy Demaine (Leopards/Cornwall/Devon/Exeter University/Bristol/SW Division)
	Charlie Notman (Newquay Queen Bees/Penryn/Cornwall/SW Division)

England U18s Talent Development Group (TDG):

	Lauren Chenoweth (Queen Bees/Cornwall/SW Division)
	Alice Stean (Queen Bees/Cornwall/SW Division)
	Alex Smith (Launceston/Cornwall/SW Division)

England U15s TDG:

	Emily Kneale (Leopards/Cornwall/SW Division)
	Robyn Green (Queen Bees/Cornwall/SW Division)

The first clash this year is in the Tamar Cup against Devon. The matches are to be held at North Tawton RFC on Sunday 16^th October. Ladies and U15s matches will kick off at 1300 whilst the U18s will start at 1430.

Girls and Ladies will be nominated from the County Programme for Divisional Trials which will take place in January 2012.
