GrassRoots - Women's Rugby from the Roots Up

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.

Episode 9 - Initiations, rugby post childbirth, Diss Ladies & Chez has her hair done

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.
