YORKSHIRE rugby union enthusiasts inspired by the excellence on show during England’s valiant effort in the Women’s Rugby World Cup recently will get a chance to see the level of competition further down the pecking order at Barnsley RFC on Sunday, November 7, 2010 when teams from Yorkshire and Lancashire meet.
Even allowing for the huge progress that has been made in the women’s game in recent years, the calibre of skill, athleticism and competitiveness displayed by the international elite players surprised and impressed rugby enthusiasts across the board and provided a superb advert for the women’s game.
