Halifax Ladies & Girls RUFC

Scores on the doors! Both our teams had a fantastic day at Trex Sevens last Sunday, showing off the best of what they can do in a different rugby format.

A definite highlight was the match of Halifax vs Halifax, with the Old Girls winning the bragging rights (they knew they would never hear the end of it if they had lost!).

The Old Girls were especially pleased to come out the winners of the day - and entertaining everyone with their active warm up routine (they had to keep their old muscles moving!).

Well done to all the organisers, and thanks to Bev Clough Photography for the team pics!
