Taunton RFC Ladies and Bath Uni Ladies joined forces for a fun but messy game of rugby in Yeovil recently.

On Sunday, February 15, what began as a three-way fixture became a joint game against Yeovil MA after most outdoor sports in the county were cancelled due to flooded pitches.

The match saw a mix of offloads, kicks, chases, breakaways, and tackles.

All the women reportedly had a great time and achieved their main aim of playing some rugby despite the recent poor weather.

They are encouraging anyone interested in playing women's rugby to contact their local club in Somerset.
