    Injury Time Score Saves England

    Great effort by the Eagles Women's team last night, their 10-11 lead going into injury time was taken from them by a late (6 minutes of injury time) try by England. With only a short assembly time going into the game, this was a huge effort and we are looking forward to them building on this performance at the weekend against Canada. Congratulations to Peter Steinberg, their new Head Coach - solid start!

    Building for the future..

    Its been a busy summer so far and I managed to spend at least one week taking my eleven year old son to Yorkshire in the North of England to spend time with his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins – great to see them all together – and how they’ve all grown – and how old they all look – and that’s not just the kids!
