Since setting up the girls section in 2018 it was always a goal to hand over the reigns to a female member of the club. I'm so pleased to be able to pass on this role to Alex at a time when the section is growing and when there is heightened focus on Women's Rugby during the middle of our home World Cup. Go Red Roses!

Alex is already firmly embedded in the Women & Girls section, both as a playing member of the Ferns and as Head Coach for the u14s Girls. Her ever growing passion for the sport and desire to encourage new (and returning) female rugby players to join Datchworth make her the perfect successor. Alex will undoubtedly bring a fresh perspective and new ideas. I'm looking forward to working with the new boss as I focus on the Ferns and playing a supporting role in coaching the Girls.
