Introduction
The womens side at The Club has long been established as a
premier team in South East London. BWRFC was formed in 1990 at Blackheath,
though many of the founding players were originally based at Bromley.
The Club runs two womens teams.
The first team will be playing in the National Challenge South East
League this season. The first team has a reputation for not only a good standard
of play, but of a great social life alongside it. The section also runs a second
team who will be playing friendly fixtures with a variety of locally based
teams. The second XV are proud of
their competitive nature, regardless of numbers available and field a mix of
experienced semi-retired players and new players working their way up to the
first team.
BWRFC is
renowned in the area for its excellent social atmosphere and a work hard/play
hard ethic has been at the root of the womens section since the offset. Some
hair-raising social nights have resulted in suspected liver damage to all
involved. The section also likes to share its appetite for destruction with
other innocent clubs, with tours taking place in the
Blackheath WRFC welcome any new players whether you have
never picked up a ball in your life or if you are an experienced player looking
to further your playing skills.
Please come down to join us for a few training sessions or get in touch
with our social secretary and make a date to ease yourself in with the less
physical side of the club.
Pre-Season Training: Wednesdays & Thursdays 7.30,
Matches: Sundays, KO between 12 and 3 depending
on time of year.

A special mention
should also go to our ever present accountant Helen who received the award for
Continued Effort from the mens side on the night as she foolishly missed out
on their party which was held earlier in the summer.
After numerous
toasts and a typically verbose stint on the mic from Elliot, what little decorum
we could muster between us was discarded as the cheesy pop began. The dancing got underway at 10.45 and
there was continued competition for floor space through to 1am when the manor
staff heartlessly called it a day and headed home to
bed.
Luckily for us
there were no such thoughts in the mind of Ed who once again donned the role of
Tom Cruise and whiled away the wee small hours in her now infamous abode,
producing cocktails of limitless strength to a soundtrack of classic
karaoke. Rumor has it is she
excelled herself one again as hostess though it is doubtful that anyone really
knows! By 8am the casualty count
had spiraled out of control and the festivities drew to a close. All present have subsequently been
verified as alive and well, though Paulas feet may never quite be the
same. If you get a chance Ed,
please could you pop round with her shoes
Many thanks from
all of the club must go to H for her splendid organisation, and excellent
speechmaking under duress. A great
time was had by all. THANK
YOU!
