Team of the Year 2025!

Our Under 16 Team won "Team of the Year" at the Melrose Sevens Celebration of Women in Sport on Friday 23rd May.

Borders Girls' Rugby had a blast at the Melrose Sevens Celebration of Women in Sport Dinner. So many inspiring people and stories. Brilliant words from presenters, sportspeople, sponsors (great to meet many from our main sponsor GoFibre, and lovely to have Symmetry Injury & Rehabilitation with us), and a spirit of optimism and co-operation in the room, which is the bedrock of what we try to do with Borders Girls' Rugby.

Very proud to receive the Team of the Year for our U16s, and delighted for these girls, who have become a real team, building trust and friendships in their first season. Eilidh Walker, who was part of the vision in setting this up, would have been beaming. The competition was strong, with every team in the category having a story of success - on the field, or against other adversity.

Thank you to our parents, coaches, clubs and sponsors for helping this to happen, as well as Melrose Sevens for hosting a joyous night. Most of all, thank you to these remarkable girls.
