Mark Brennan Head of Female Rugby Centre of Sporting Excellence said, “I am proud of the effort and attitude of the whole team. The girls have played brilliantly at both rugby league and rugby union over the past year and deserve to be crowned ‘National Rugby League champions 2014’. We have now been three years unbeaten as a team and have gone from strength to strength over the last twelve months. We are looking forward to progressing further with the team again next year.”
Safina Clay, Tara Jones, Hannah Curran, Sammie Simpson, Katie Woodcock, Ellie Goulding, Zoe Ormsby and Emma McCartney from the Cronton team have only just returned to College after being selected to represent the North West region at the British College Sport rugby union finals at Bath University where the North West team came fourth, in what was a tough two day competition.
