Back to Back promotions for Long Eaton Womens Rugby XV, with another undefeated season for the Mighty Blues! The 22/23 season ends on a high with our Womens Senior Team topping the NC1 Midlands Women's table and continuing an unbeaten run that spans two seasons. We have faced tough opposition throughout the season and are so grateful to all the support we have had. We look forward to the continued support as we move into Women's Championship Midlands 2 next season!

Long Eaton established a Womens team in 2018, and in the early games just managed to pull together a starting XV. The Women's division at Long Eaton Rugby Club has gone from strength to strength over the last 5 years and the boasts a staggering 56 senior female players, with coaches now looking to develop and field a 2nd team regularly in the 23/24 season. This trend and the growth of the women's game is evident across the club, with our three junior girls sides currently standing at 87 registered players. In the spirit of being a rugby family and promoting Long Eaton's #oneclub philosophy younger players are following in the footsteps of their Mums, Aunts and other family members who proudly don Long Eaton kit in the senior division, including Mother and Daughter combos like Ellen and Alisha Berry and Clare and Isla McGuinnis and Aunt and Niece Mel Lewis and Imogen Clarke.

Our team is built on West Park in Long Eaton come rain or shine we train 2 times a week with our volunteer coaches. Our squad is made up of players from all shapes, experiences levels, backgrounds and ages; currently the age range spans from 17-49 years young.
