Chester has a rich history of producing a strong under 18 girls’ team and this season is no exception with a team boasting girls that have represented their county on many occasions, girls representing the Sale Sharks ‘Centre of Excellence’ Academy and even girls representing their country at Under 18 level!

Whilst the season is still young and there are many more games and challenges to come, we have beaten all teams that we have played this season and at times have beaten them comfortably.

The coaching team are well qualified and highly experienced and are bringing the best out of all the girls in the team, irrespective of experience. We have seen significant improvements in all players this year and there is confidence that the county team will once again be well represented by the Chester girls.

In addition to the undoubted talent in our midst, there is a great team spirit and a welcoming attitude. We have many new additions to our team this year and they have integrated well and are a great addition to last year’s successful team.

What does the future look like? We know there is a successful and talented Under 16’s girls’ team that will provide some excellent additions and competition to this year’s squad and we hope that our growing reputation will attract even more established players.

Our Under 18’s team has been a successful ‘feeder’ team to our women’s senior team the Devas and we hope that the ongoing success at Under 18’s level will result in many more of our players transitioning to senior rugby.

The great thing about Rugby is that it is a game for everyone. All all you need to bring is a desire to play, a willingness to learn and a commitment to work hard and with all this we can make a player out of anyone.

The benefits to the girls can be multi-layered; it increases fitness, it increases physical strength and it can increase mental strength and over the years many of our girls have enjoyed these benefits.
