Exeter College Canada Rugby Tour
Donation protected
We are now in our third year of women's rugby at Exeter College, with numbers progressing from 13 in year one to over 30 this year.
We are therefore looking to run an educational, cultural and enjoyable rugby trip for the girls and have chosen Toronto in Canada, emulating the England U20's tour that took place this summer.
Canada is a hotbed for women's rugby and a real opportunity for the girls to experience a rugby tour first hand. With excursions to the CN Tower, Niagara Falls, Rogers Stadium and to accommodate at least three fixtures across the Toronto region, it promises to be a once in a lifetime amazing tour.
The girls are from all over Devon, Cornwall and Somerset (even one Italian!), play for amazing local club sides every weekend and traveling to Exeter College on a daily basis to experience OFSTED accredited outstanding education, as well as their college rugby. They have worked hard as an academy within the community too, helping to referee, coach and officiate at school competitions every year, being perfect role models and inspiring future players.
We have girls that represent the following clubs:
Weston Hornets RFC
Chard Ladies RFC
Wellington RFC
Cullompton RFC
Exeter Saracens RFC
Withycombe Ladies RFC
Bristol Bears Women
Kingsbridge RFC
Devonport RFC
Paignton RFC
South Molton RFC
Launceston RFC
Topdham Ladies RFC
Rivoli Rugby (Italy)
Sidmouth RFC
Crediton RFC
With the tour costing in excess of £40,000 we are looking to help offset the cost to the girls and raise as much support as possible. Any help, support or encouragement you can lend us. No matter how small, will be hugely appreciated.
We have a year of hard work on the pitch, in the class and fundraising ahead. If you can help to spread the word then please do your gratitude will be forever yours.
For more information please contact David Kimberley at Exeter College Sports Department.
