Wings over Wimbledon

A grand sight was to be seen on the field of Barham road this Sunday as 13 teenage girls trained to play rugby. Up to now, despite strenuous efforts by all concerned we have only had a small number of girls at these sessions and our dream of fielding a youth girls team has seemed destined to remain just a dream. This week, following a collaboration with Kings Rugby Club the dream came very close to reality when our combined group took to the field. It was a very proud Chloe who led the session and she has every right to be proud as she has worked hard to keep our fledgling girls group alive until now. The merger with Kings has led to one problem though, what to call the team. KingDons doesn't quite cut it, Wimbledon Kings or Kings Wimbledon is a bit of a mouthful so Wings has been born. They will train on alternate weeks at Wimbledon & Kings and their first match can’t be far away. Give them a cheer if you pass by and why not see if you can find them another player and then they can join the rest of the club in showing other teams how to win matches, have fun and enjoy rugby.
