In the only podcast solely dedicated to the grassroots women's game, Jodie, Matt, Lou, Mollie, Goose and Joyce take a bi-monthly stroll through the chaos, joy and intrigue of club-level rugby. We celebrate the characters in the game, the essence and culture of rugby and shine a spotlight on the teams playing in various leagues around the country. Our very own legend Cherie (ChezSez) gives listeners a unique insight into her life in the sport and the mayhem of 70% off hour at Aldi. We will bring interviews from other clubs, ideas and general rugby love from the Grass Roots game. No prem, no International, just rugby as we all know and love. In the mud, in the bar, with your mates. Expect chat, regular sections, special guests and characters from the game, laughs and analysis. We will also tackle some of the more difficult subjects. Overall this is an extension of the rugby clubhouse where we share stories, ideas and facts from the fastest growing sport in the UK. Definitely not one for the car on the school run........

Welcome to Episode 9 of GrassRoots, the only podcast exclusively focused on the grassroots women’s rugby game.

In this high tackle of an episode, we talk about initiations, coming back to rugby after having children and we welcome Karon from Diss Ladies to the podcast.

As Mollie was unfortunately unavailable to record due to ‘reasons unknown’, the episode is hosted by Nik Joyce, the first ever female chair of Crewe and Nantwich Rugby Club and gives us a fascinating incite into what it’s like having such a senior position at a club and still needing your mum to cut you out of your underwear.

We continue the 12 Fines of Christmas and loads more!

This episode is brought to you in partnership with Halbro, the leading manufacturer and designer of women’s fit sports kit.

For more information please visit: www.halbro.com/women-rugby.

To contact Halbro for a consultation, get in touch with Fergus Farrell[email protected] and mention GrassRoots!

This episode is also sponsored by Manscaped, the leading brand in male grooming. For a 20% discount and FREE SHIPPING, enter the code: GRASSROOTS. www.manscaped.com

Welcome to Episode 6!

In this accidental offside of an episode we discuss Mollie's holiday, round off the fantasy 15, and talk about the challenges of playing in, and coaching mixed-ability teams.

We welcome Telford Hornets for a live, pitch-side interview and debate the merits of relegation / promotion in a post covid rugby world.

Chez is up to no good in the theatre and laments the fact she didn't make the Roses squad.

All in all it's the usual barrage of the sublime mixed with the ridiculous.

This is episode 8 of GrassRoots, the only podcast dedicated to the Grass Roots women’s rugby game.

This is another feature-length episode where we talk about the frustrations of poorly fitting kit, we go into far too much detail about sports bras and ChezSez moves house with only to be expected results.

The special guest interview is Fergus Farrell from Halbro, a kit manufacturer which is one of the very few kit makers out there designing and producing kit made specifically for the women’s game.

Fergus gives us a great behind the scenes look at how kit is made, how Halbro came up with the designs and how it can make a massive difference to the women’s teams out there.

We also discuss player pathways, the frustration of Premier 15 academies and we introduce our run up to Christmas section with the 12 Fines of Christmas.
