🖤💛 Masters Story 💛🖤

Meet Vickie. Another newcomer this season. Vickie is another rugby novice, with other sports under her belt and a family that she always puts first.

Vickie found the gold shorts a great tactic to learn the game whilst playing, after a short hiatus due to injury she’s back, was involved at the Blackpool festival and did not shy away from red shorts & moderate contact in defence.

Read Vickie’s story, and if it sounds like you, message us, come down and give it a go. You’ll make friends for life

Well done Gill & Jayne 💛🖤 and everyone else who took part 🏉

🏉🧡 HISTORY MADE! 🧡🏉

History was made as the first ever all-ladies Fat Monkey Masters team took to the pitch! 🐒🔥

Atoms players Hannah and Joanne pulled on their shirts alongside an incredible group of ladies from across the Masters family:

🩷 Karen – Blackpool belles womans masters rugby league
💚 Rothers and Louise – Golborne Parkside Womens Masters
💛 Gill and Jayne – newbies from Leigh Miners Ladies Masters
🖤Karen and Kirsten – Club Masters
And hopefully a few new recruits.

And what an absolute honour it was to share the pitch with two female rugby league greats, Genna Banks and Tara Jones! 🏉👏

To have our very first all-ladies Fat Monkey team take to the field alongside players with such experience and passion for the game made it a truly special occasion.

It wasn't just about the result, even though we did win — it was about women getting out there, pulling on a shirt, supporting each other and raising money for a fabulous charity
Here's to the first of many! 🐒🏉

History made. Memories created. More to come. 💚
