Women the winners on the day at rugby club

Silverdale United Rugby Club’s inaugural Ladies Day on Saturday May 20 was so successful that it will not be the last time this event is held.

More than 80 people attended the sell-out Ladies High Tea, which featured special pink drinks.

On the field, the club’s Women’s Prems, Men’s Prems and Premier Development squads all turned on some fine performances.

The women’s game was a nail-biter, with Silverdale only losing by the barest margin of four points to Papakura.

The club’s focus on promoting and developing women’s rugby has resulted in a significant growth in female junior player numbers as well as the reintroduction of a Senior Women’s Team.

Silverdale director of female rugby, Glen Maguire, says the day was a huge success in promoting and celebrating the women’s game and the important contribution of all the women associated with the club – including players and supporters.
