EULRFC Playing at Scottish Varsity match

A season of success

After a fantastically successful season that has already seen them come out victorious in the Scottish Varsity match, be crowned League Champions and reach the semi-final of the Sarah Beaney Scottish Cup, Edinburgh University Ladies Rugby club (EULRFC) travel to Twickenham to take on Northumbria University in the BUCS  Championship Finals.

The whole team are delighted to have made it to this stage of the competition, after the success of the league campaign. They have played fantastically well all season and should be confident going into the final. We know that the whole University is behind us and will be cheering us on both at Twickenham and at home watching on the live stream

The first time in a generation

The Championships are the most prestigious competition in Student Rugby and it is the first time in 19 year since Edinburgh (or any other Scottish team) have reached the final.  The team will feature 5 Scottish Internationals, Sarah Law , Rhona Lloyd, Lisa Thomson, Katie Dougan and Megan Gaffney, who all played in the recent 6 Nations tournament, as well as England Under-20 International Sally Stott. Having beaten the University of Bristol and Durham University on the way to the final the team are well prepared for the challenge ahead.  

It's been a fantastic season so far and to win the BUCS championship would be amazing. The whole team have worked so hard for this moment and will be doing all we can to bring the cup home with us!
