Brenda Price

Brenda’s only interest in sport was whilst she was at School where she played Hockey and Netball for the County.
Brenda and husband (both over 70) had no involvement with the game of rugby or any sport until introduced to the game by their Son-in-Law, who played for Bletchley and now their grandsons play at Bletchley as well. The older grandson has given up the game as he’s a musician and was concerned about damaging his hands, but he still comes down to watch home games  and enjoys the after game Club house atmosphere.
Brenda and her husband come to the Club regularly as supporters of the Club and the game,
 ”we love the game, the atmosphere in the Club, it’s become our social life – it’s such a friendly welcoming game and all generations and families mix in a safe and comfortable environment”
 
She much prefers it to football and has never had and still doesn’t have any interest in that game only Rugby, a quote in a paper after the Rugby World Cup recently, struck a chord and sums the difference up...... ‘Footballers spend 90 minutes pretending they’re hurt, Rugby players spend 80 minutes playing as if they’re NOT hurt’
