Futtocks Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 LINK TO ARTICLE Brixton Bulls have announced plans to launch a women's Open Age Rugby League team in 2018. The Bulls are a community club based in south London, and plan to play in the Women's Merit League in their first season. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. Ralph Waldo Emerson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there even any others in London? Medway have one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their website isn't up to much so no idea of the current situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Early days, so they may have to scratch around for fixtures in the Merit League, but you have to start somewhere. And, as women's Football in the USA has shown, roots can be put down in places where the men's game is not necessarily a dominant force. You're appealing to an untapped market for players, and who knows what phenomenal athletes might be uncovered in Sarf Landan?

bbfaz Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I think a lot of teams have had women training. We've had them, I think Chargers had enough for a team a couple of years ago. For Brixton, I think they're putting down a marker that they want to have a team, rather than have a team ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
