Ladies rugby union team in Northallerton. Training Wednesdays, 7-8:30pm at Northallerton Rugby Club

13/05/2026

Back again for another year with our season stats!

A huge season for the team. Plenty to work on, but equally LOADS to celebrate!

Only 3 players featured in all of our games this season, with Vice Captain Gina topping the charts playing every minute of every game! Kate and Anna also featured in every game but were fortunate enough to occasionally get a rest on the bench. All three of these ladies proving why they are among the first names on the team sheet every week.

Newcomer Ellie Readman takes the title for top try scorer with 19. Ellie has been a godsend for us this season and has slotted into the 10 shirt after Ali’s injury. Add 34 conversions to her points tally and it’s clear why she’s been named player of the match the more than anyone else this season!

A 3rd place finish in our first season after promotion and reaching the semi-final in the cup is huge for us and we're so proud of how we've done.

Injuries really have plagued the team all year. Some major injuries to big players have tested us immensely but we've proved that even with a small team we've still got strength and depth across the board!

Bring on next season.

But for now, we're having a well deserved rest!

💚💛 NEW PLAYERS 💛💚

This season we were lucky enough to welcome four new players to the team. All of which made a huge impact every time they played!

Ellie Readman - A lifesaver this season with our usual fly half being out injured Ellie has stepped up to the task every game. Having scored a hattrick in her first game for us we knew she was going to be a huge asset!

Emma Thompson-Brooke - Emma joined us midway through the season as she wanted to try playing at a higher level. She has been a great addition to our back line making great impact off the bench across several positions and more recently has taken the 10 shirt and made it her own.

Beth Luck - A history maker as the first Northallerton Junior player to make their senior women's debut! Following in her parents' footsteps she’s shown real skill, class and tenacity.

Sophie Bedford - Little pocket rocket Sophie made a huge impact from her very first game, having never played before she soon made herself known, throwing herself into tackles and proving she's got pace in spades!

If you fancy pulling on the green and gold next season, whether you've played before or never picked up a rugby ball, drop us a message or come along to training on Wednesday evenings when they kick off again!

💚💛 SEASON ROUND UP 💛💚

Now that the dust has settled on the 2025-26 season, here's a look back at our results!

A mixed bag in the league, winning and losing in equal measure. The score lines showing just how competitive we can be at this level.

We’ve had an incredible amount of injuries to some really key players throughout the year but thanks to our strength in depth across our team we have managed to secure a 3rd place finish in our first season in NC2.

With more impressive results in the Women's Junior Cup, we made it to the semi-final where we came up against an incredibly strong Sandal side - wishing them the best of luck in their final at Twickenham, with our sights firmly set on that being us this time next year!

💚💛 PLAYERS OF THE MATCH💛💚

Forward - Gina Fothergill
Sponsored by Les Race Builders Ltd.
Gina carried on her trend of being a human battering ram, smashing holes in the Novos defence, solid work getting the ball down and presented fast to allow Trin to get the ball moving again. Solid in defence keeping home side at bay for long stints of the game.

Back - Lucy Patey
Sponsored by Twisted Arts Studio - Richmond
We moved Lucy around a few times on Sunday and she slotted in beautifully. Her usual try saving tackles you would put your house on her making at fullback and linking up well in attack in the centres!

Opposition Choice - Trinity Earnshaw
Sponsored by Training with Trin
Hat-trick hero! Trin cut the Novos defence to bits a few times, spotting gaps that probably weren't even there and yet she sliced through them without issue, dotting down over the line 3 times! You can always count on Trin to get the forwards out the way to make sure we have fast rucks to get the ball out to the pace in the backs!

💚💛 FINAL SCORE 💛💚

Finishing the season on a high!

Our first season in NC2 and a 3rd place finish! An unreal year in this league, and we are so proud of every single player who has pulled on the green and gold this year. Time for a well-deserved rest!

💚💛 LAST ONE OF THE SEASON 💛💚

Tomorrow's team heading up to Novo's for one final game for the 2025/26 season!

Only one change to the starting lineup from last week's fixture at Darlington, let's end this season on a high!

There are still a few places on the bus if any supporters would like to join the party!

💚💛 PLAYERS OF THE MATCH 💛💚

Forward - Katie Frame
Available to Sponsor
Now known as Eighty Frame, she's not only playing a full game as a front row but she's making big hits, big carries and linking well across the park for the whole game! A far cry from the warm up injuries of the past!

Back - Emma Thompson-Brooke
Available to Sponsor
Dropping in at fly-half so we can try out some new combinations of positions on the pitch. A great display at 10, great chat to keep everyone organised and timing passes out to the centres beautifully to get our speedy girls in space!

Opposition Choice - SJ Pritchard
Sponsored by Logans Electrics
Our fitness queen! Fast out the scrum, she kept the opposition under pressure all game. I'm sure if we counted up she would have the highest tackle count and certainly most metre covered everyone on the pitch, she is absolutely everywhere!

Special Mention to Kate Easton for making more tackles in yesterday's game than she has all season! Better late than never!

💚💛 FINAL SCORE 💛💚

Nice to put last week's cup loss behind us and get a win under our belts!

Some unreal rugby from all 18 of our players today, showcasing what we can do when we're fully firing!

💚💛 TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT 💛💚

Tomorrow's team heading over to Darlington for the penultimate fixture of the season!

A few changes in position and personnel sees Sophie getting her first start for North out on the wing, and Ellie moving out wider to 13!

See you tomorrow afternoon 💪🏼

14/04/2026

💚💛 DEBUT 💛💚

A little bit delayed but it's about time we shouted about little Sophie making her rugby debut!

A few weeks ago against Penrith Sophie played her very first game of rugby. Coming off the bench and immediately making herself known to the opposition props ankles!

We're very excited to see how our pocket rocket improves!
