Alliance call up for Northampton Casuals Women
Seven of Northampton Casuals' players were selected to attend the first ever Northampton and District Alliance women's training camp on 15 February, in a historic occasion for the district as it looks to build its inaugural women's squad.
31 players from teams across the Alliance turned out at Men's Own on a very cold and wet day, bringing huge enthusiasm to a challenging and intense session. Despite the conditions every player demonstrated determination, energy and great attitude. Following the camp, a 23-player squad will now be selected.
Each Casuals player in attendance represented the club brilliantly - the players who took part were Sara Brookes, Sarah Smith, Emily Couchman, Jennah West, Millie Robinson, Kath Middleditch and Kim Todd.
With coaches from the East Midlands Rugby Union in attendance, four Casuals players were also invited to open training sessions for EMRU next month - Kath Middleditch, Millie Robinson, Emily Couchman and Jennah West; along with Leigh-Anne Trigg from BBOB ladies.
