The Belgian Women's squad will be using the match hosted by the Cinque Ports Rugby as a serious test and as a warm-up game before they play in the 2008 European Cup in Amsterdam , The Netherlands, from 17th to 25th May 2008.

Belgium will again play in Pool B in 2008 against Russia , Germany , Norway , Sweden , Finland , Romania and Luxembourg . They have every hope of winning the pool in 2008 and progressing to Pool A for the 2009 European Cup Competition.  This is one of the main reasons for the team to travel to Sussex to undertake this important fixture at CPR‘s home pitch at the Grove School.

We have always wanted to promote the women's game, and it is a target for our club to found and run a sustainable women's club XV".

If it's the ref, it must be Andre Watson, he's got the same shirt on as the player making the tackle !!!!
