Bedford Roughyed Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 3 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.

roughyed1064 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 bloody hell should this club pay more attention to the mens team before setting up another team, sport today seems to be more and more about the womens teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see how a women's team is anything other than beneficial. It won't distract from the men's game and certainly won't divert funds. According to rugby_league.com there are funding opportunities to grow the game both in community and with the women's game. It will also allow full use of the hollinwood site. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OL14.yeds Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 More good work from the club off the field. Hopefully is a success. How it can be seen as a negative is beyond me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money available for women's and community to do the same? A lot more.

sheddingswasus Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 For any one who has our book Watersheddings Memories, we included two photos of the previous womewns team early 80's. I will dig them out later and try and upload them. Some familiar faces on there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely anything that raises the profile of rugby league in the town can only be a good thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
