About Us  Welcome to Tabard Women. We are now in our fifth season and compete in National Challenge league South East West 3. Women’s rugby is one of the fastest growing sports in the UK. With England Women current European champions and the 2010 Women’s Rugby World Cup being held in the UK, this trend is set to continue and we are keen to encourage new players both experienced and novice to enjoy the game. Tabard Women began playing friendly games with local sides four years ago. In 2007 we entered a friendly league and won with an unbeaten record. Following this we entered the national leagues last season (08/09) and will continue to build upon this success in 2009-2010. We always welcome new players, whether they are experienced or have never picked up a rugby ball before and are keen to hear from anyone who wants a taster training session to see if rugby could be for them. We are a friendly side who socialise regularly and are involved in all areas of the club, so as well as the playing side there is a lot more for new players to become involved in. Tabard is a friendly family orientated club where all players and non playing members support and encourage all teams from minis to junior and senior men and women. We are currently establishing a girl’s side and are keen to hear from any girls under the age of 18 who want to get involved with a developing local team.  Contacts Captain & Gaynor Calnan Tel: 07738 697211 Enquiries Click here to Email Gaynor Vice-Captain Lisa Christe Tel: 07811 342521 Fixtures Ruth Bartholomew Tel: 07968 356011 Click here to Email Ruth Coach Ewen Webster Tel: 07881 444772 Click here to Email Ewen  Training and Coaching  Training is on Wednesday nights from 7.15 to 9pm and players of all abilities are welcome. We have specialist forwards and backs coaches and visits from guest coaches throughout the season. Last year England international Margaret Alphonsi ran a training session with the team, which was an exciting and educational experience for all involved. We have a team physiotherapist available for training and matches, which take place on a Sunday afternoon. The team has progressed tremendously throughout the past four seasons and last year we provided six players for the inaugural Herts County Women’s squad, which was a fantastic achievement as some of the girls had only been playing rugby for a few years. We welcome both experienced and novice players, so why not come along on a Wednesday and unlock your potential.
