Girls’ rugby is one of the fastest growing female sports since 2013 and it continues to grow across the country following the continued success of the England Women’s team The Red Roses.
We are have been extremely lucky to have Leanne Infante (Riley) a Harlequins, Saracens and Red Rose, involved with our girls section both on and off the field.
Leanne set up the girls’ section in 2016 where we started with 25-30 girls varied from aged 7-17. We have since grown this to 70+ girls from aged 9-18, running 4 competitive teams in Surrey competitions.
RFU Age Grade ProgressionDuring the 2021-2022 season our U13 girls were competitive amongst the Surrey Waterfall Cup rounds and hosted/travelled to many friendly fixtures throughout the season. They rounded the season off by being unbeaten on tour in Worcestershire and enjoyed a great team bonding cool off at Liquid Leisure this Summer.
Our U16 and U18 squads competed in the National Cup for the second year running, travelling further afield for matches and playing new squads for the first time was the ultimate adaptation test and both teams fought strongly.
Joining Guildfordians RFC Girls is a great way to get active and try a new sport, meet new people, become part of a thriving and friendly team, but also part of a connected girls rugby section who show support and encouragement across all age groups. We pride ourselves on welcoming new players into our club, whether you have never picked up a rugby ball before, to having years of experience – we will look after you!
For the 2026-2027 season we have U10s, U12s, U14s, U16s & U18s girls teams. A child’s age group is determined by their age at midnight on 31st August so, for example, an 13 year old child whose birthday is on August 1st would enter the Under 14s (U14s).
Please refer to our Find Your Child's Age Group / Team guide for more information.
