About the team

At Lewes Women's Rugby you can play full-contact rugby played in a fun and inclusive environment. It doesn’t matter if you were scoring tries in the womb, or if you don’t know your rucks from your mauls: all levels of ability, experience and fitness are welcome.

So whether you are completely new or have played before but are a bit rusty, we can teach you all the basics or we'll ease you back in!



Join us

Whether you’re in it for that feeling of winning a game, or the fitness, or even just the hard-earned pint after a match, we’d love to have you on board. Some of us are top try scorers and have only been here for a week, some of us have been playing for years and we still can’t master anything more than the basics. We’ve all come together because we play rugby for a reason, and we welcome anyone who loves rugby (or thinks they could love it) regardless of your sporting background and experience.

Drop us an email on: women@lewesrugby.com if you're interested in trying us out!



What, When, where?

We train at the Stanley Turner Ground, Kingston Road, Lewes on Tuesday evenings 18.50-20.30. As we play contact rugby all players need a gum shield, boots and comfortable clothes for training.
