Women selected for Honours

Date: 06 May 2015

4 of the Hoppers Women’s team have been named in the Lancashire squad for the end of season programme with 2 of the girls selected for the first game with Cumbria this weekend. The section is also celebrating an international call up too!

Women’s captain Danielle Nash is chosen to start at openside flanker for the fixture at Southport Rugby Club with Jamie-Leigh Hewison named amongst the replacements. Emily Stirzaker and Olivia Jack are named in the wider squad but haven’t made the squad for Sunday. Kick off is at 2.30pm at Southport. Good luck ladies!

Also announced in recent days is that Emily Stirzaker has been selected in the English Universities Rugby League squad to tour Hungary later this Summer. The selection is made all the more amazing by the fact that Emily hasn’t played Rugby League since Under 12’s and only went along to the trials after hearing about them from a friend! We wish Emily all the best in Hungary.
