Despite their youth both girls have toured before as U15's they toured played South of France , completed in a cultural exchange with France and Spain earlier this year and have played touring sides from Canada and the USA.
Lancashire are well positioned to take advantage of the expected explosion in girls rugby with active girls sections at Southport,Eccles,Burnley,Vale of Lune,Ormskirk,St Helens, Manchester and Tyldersley amongst others and womens sections in many other clubs.It is now no longer necessary for the girls to travel hours to get to training sessions which has been a major obstacle in the past.
