Carlisle Rugby Club is celebrating a special milestone this season – it’s their 150th anniversary.
The Carlisle Cougars women’s team are a fairly recent addition in that long, respected history – and they are gearing up for a very special start to their new campaign which starts this Sunday.
Some strong-willed Cougars have decided to take part in Go Sober October which will be a hard challenge for the girls that like the tipple or two after a game of rugby.
This is all in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support which is dear to the players’ hearts as the Cougars sadly lost a former member of the team who was a massive part of the squad.
The Cougars first league game is against Darlington away on Sunday October 2 and the players are all extremely excited to get the season started with a big game.
The first home game is against Blaydon on October 16 when the squad would appreciate as much support down as possible. They will hold a raffle after the game which proceeds will go towards the team.
The Cougars are always recruiting and are more than happy to talk to anyone interested of all abilities.
