The Dragons, along with defending champions Scarlets and the Blues, have revealed their trial dates for the keenly anticipated Women’s Regional Championship.
Just in its second year of existence, the inaugural championship last season went down to the wire with the Scarlets claiming the silverware in the final round of matches against the Dragons.
In doing so, they unearthed a real gem in flanker Sioned Harries who went on to play a starring role in the Welsh Women’s World Cup campaign in the summer. With one eye on next year’s Six Nations championship, the national team’s coaching set-up will be hoping some new talent is revealed once again.
The regional concept is a marked step up from club rugby and will also offer current internationals the opportunity to cement their spot in the selectors minds for the Six Nations campaign.
All intending players must complete the below attached form and send in advance to the relevant team manager if possible, if not applications will be accepted on the day. A player’s address is the basis on what region they will play for this season – the only exceptions are at the WRU Performance Manager’s discretion).
The Dragons, coached by Liza Burgess, will be staging their Trials this Saturday at Newbridge between 9am-10.30 FOR ALL NEW PLAYERS, followed by a training session between 11am-1pm to include all players from last season and internationals. The Team Manager is Claire Wilson claire.wilson1066@live.co.uk
All new players are welcome to attend to all of the regions’ Trials. For further enquiries, contact your region’s team manager.
