Ten Hampshire girls selected for England U18 PDG!

Hampshire RFU congratulates ten girls selected for this season’s U18 England Player Development Group (PDG) – a fantastic achievement reflecting their hard work, dedication and continued development.

Ella (Trojans), Caitlyn (Trojans), Una (Trojans), Kristelle (Basingstoke), Evie (Trojans), Aiofe (Trojans), Jess (Trojans), Fi (Trojans), Lily (Havant) and Jemima (Portsmouth).

Their selection also celebrates the brilliant work of the volunteers who have supported their rugby journeys. Their home clubs have nurtured them from their early days in minis, helping them build skills, confidence and a love of the game.

Hampshire’s U16 PDG volunteer coaches have built on those foundations, giving the girls opportunities to develop further, challenge themselves and learn alongside players from across the county. Their time, care and commitment have played an important part in preparing these young players for the next stage.

Thank you to all the coaches, team managers and volunteers at club and county level who have helped make this possible.

Congratulations to all ten girls – we wish you every success this season!
