This is Claire.
Claire is our brilliant Team Manger who does so much to support the whole of our girls section, from the U12’s all the way through to our U18’s.
But it’s not just us at Lincoln she supports; she’s the vital link between us, and our Valkyries teammates at , , and , organising our fixtures for both friendly matches and NLD competitions, as well as the very successful finals day held at Lincoln.
Today she’s been at Pennyhill Park watching the train as part of the RFU volunteer recognition scheme, where she’s been quite rightly recognised for her efforts which often go unseen, but make the coaches lives much easier and ensures that the girls get as much game time as possible.
Claire said “whilst the reward has come my way, its recognition for all of us, its got me reflecting on everything that we’ve all done to move the game forward in Lincolnshire this season and I think we should all be very proud of ourselves.
As a county we’ve never had this many junior girls playing rugby; our girls have played more friendly and competitive matches than any other girls team before this season, and teams across the region now know our teams names and are asking to travel and play us.
I think any one of those achievements in one season is amazing, let alone all 3! None of them could have happened without our coaches too.”
Congratulations Claire!
We hope that , & like their Lincoln scrunchies, Claire said it was great to meet & too.
