Valkyries will launch on Monday, April 9 at Deeside Leisure centre, Valkyries Rugby will cover ages 6-18 and will have teams at u7, U9s, U11s, U13s, u15s and u18s.

Sessions promise to be fun and tailored to the levels of those participating, they’ll promote sportsmanship, teamwork, confidence and above all respect.

Cluster organiser Chris Wright said;

“This is an incredible opportunity to build on the recent push by the Welsh Rugby Union to increase the number of girls playing rugby across Wales.

Here in the North we have girls playing netball, football and other sports. There is a real chance for girls to get involved in rugby union.”
