Rainey Valentines, the senior ladies team, will long now be remembered having earned their place at Rainey Old Boys RFC
The Valentines made history yesterday, Sunday 2nd October, for multiple reasons in this new chapter at the club.
- They are the first ever senior womens team at the club
- They played their first ever conference league game
- It was the first captaincy in a league game by the formidable Megan Merro
- The first ever “Lady of the Match” was awarded to the relentless Rachel Hanna (No8)
Yes there were nerves, but excitement and promise removed any niggling fears and regrets. Despite a 24-12 loss to Banbridge RFC, the Valentines played with passion, respect, grit, and determination.
Next home match is this Friday 7th October, with a 8:00pm kick off against Lurgan Women 1st XV. All support is greatly appreciated
