Rosslyn Park’s women’s rugby team, the Slingbacks, are about to enter their twentieth season at the ground on the corner of Upper Richmond Road and Priory Lane and have received a pre-season boost with the recruitment of England scrum half Amy Turner as Coach.

Amy began her adult Rugby career as a 16-year-old at Rosslyn Park and is a shining example to the current players of what can be achieved.

The team are inviting local women and girls to go along and give the sport a try. They train every Wednesday at 7:15pm on the Club’s state-of-the-art 4G pitch and anyone interested is welcome to just turn up.

Slingbacks skipper, Maria Castellina, said “It’s a sport that has a place for all shapes and sizes, and a great way to keep fit in a really sociable environment.

“Of course, experienced players are always very welcome as well”, she added.
