Cockermouth Round Table has thrown its support behind the next generation of female rugby stars, donating £300 to the Cockermouth Girls Rugby team. The generous sponsorship comes at a time when women's rugby is enjoying unprecedented momentum, with England’s national team inspiring thousands across the country. With England preparing to host the Women’s Rugby World Cup in 2025, community investment in young athletes has never been more crucial.
The Cockermouth Junior Girls Section, which includes players aged 10 to 16, regularly travels across Cumbria to proudly represent Cockermouth Rugby Club. Known for their passion and perseverance, the team embodies the spirit of grassroots sport. The £300 donation from Cockermouth Round Table will fund new team polo shirts, giving the players a renewed sense of identity and pride.
This sponsorship highlights Cockermouth Round Table’s continued commitment to community development and youth sport. By investing in young athletes today, the organisation is helping to nurture future talent and ensure that opportunities in rugby remain open and accessible to girls of all backgrounds. It’s a small but meaningful step in the broader movement to grow the women’s game from the ground up.
