It was great to see players returning from the WXV, a quality competition organised for the Women’s game across the World. It was a glorious Autumn Day, with sunshine galore. Saracens had won all 3 of their games and Hartpury 2, this promised to be a good match. Leanne Infante was making her 100th and … More Saracens Women v Gloucester Hartpury
An opportunity to see both Saracens teams in one day was not to be sniffed at. I had a good journey to the City and managed an evening at a Folk Club after a very tasty Italian meal.

The return of the Women’s Premiership saw the return on the international players to the competition.
