BLETCHLEY LADIES AT RUGBY AWARDS TWICKENHAM
A group of Bletchley Ladies Players and support team travelled to the Lawson Keys National Rugby Awards at Twickenham in high hope of winning awards that they were short listed for.
The whole team was nominated for Ladies Team of the year after a stunning 2014-15 season which found them unbeaten in the league and losing out to Kendal Wasps in the Semi Final of the national cup. Lauren Delaney had also been shortlisted for the Ladies player of the year after a stunning first season playing rugby which found her being Bletchley’s and Bucks County highest try scorer. Both categories were very competitive with a diverse range of nominees shortlisted which included premiership teams and players.
