UBHWRFC - Womens Medics Rugby
UBHWRFC is now entering its 7th year as a club and has gone from strength to strength. What started out as a small, social team who enjoyed a fair-weather run around and a pint, has grown into a fantastic group of girls from all years of the Medical School who compete at the highest level while maintaining this fun and friendly ethos. In the 2022/23 season, the first ever NAMS league for women’s rugby was set up and our Bristol team went undefeated in the league, eventually going on to win the cup final in front of a large crowd in London. Our team is run by players, for players and encourages heads-up rugby with individual flair, rather than setting a regimented playbook! If you love fun rugby, a run around on a Saturday morning and competitive matches with your friends then we look forward to welcoming you this September, whether you have played for years or never picked up a rugby ball!
We train once a week on a Saturday morning on the Clifton Down, by the water tower. Fixtures are also usually held on the weekends so that those on placements are available to play.
The Best Socials in the South West
This year, alongside continuing our post training and match pub trips and nights out, our social secretary is keen to organise more joint socials with other galenicals sports societies. We work hard to make sure that every single member enjoys every social. No matter if you are a fresher or a 5th year, the environment at all our events is a welcoming one. There is no seperation within our club - we love that through sport uni years can mix and valuable advice can be passed down.
Our Equality & Welfare Officer also runs sober socials, as we recognise that not everyone may wish to drink or socialise in a setting where alcohol is involved. Coffee club, where we can all come together and catch up in a casual environment, and group study sessions where older years are available to help out those in lower years (and where we can all motivate each other to get our work actually done!), are just some examples of these.
