They overcame a powerful Windsor team 44 - 17 . This is an historic first for the local rugby club and promotion will see them playing teams such as Welwyn, Battersea and Westcliff in Essex.

Fullerians were nervous starters on Sunday and were quickly 12 points down within 20 minutes. They then started to dominate with some outstanding performances from Misayo Baker, Phoebe Young and ever reliable Maggie Brummer at full back.

A rowdy but good-hearted crowd of over 100 people could be heard across Cassiobury Park on a barmy sunny afternoon.

The second half saw the home team take control with expert game management from Mae Foy and captain Laurel Stockwell who along with winger Gabby Selvey had been representing Englands Deaf Women only 24 hours before. The home team dominated the forwards battle with immense tackling from Nell Goodair and Beth Stevens.

At the final whistle – Fullerians were comfortable winners with a late solo try by Kayla Bannister running the entire length of the pitch.

Set up in the 2019 season the Furies as they are known have developed into a significant section of the rugby club offering a welcome to players of all standards.

Fullerians Director of Rugby Spencer Craze was full of praise “The women thoroughly deserve their league win and thanks should go to the coaching team and squad. They are an integral part of the club going forward”.

Captain Laurel Stockwell was equally generous in her post match comments. “We are a great group, and this win means everything to us all. Looking forward to resting the body as it’s been a long season”

“The league win is a perfect start to centenary celebrations” said club President Clyve Hancock.

Fullerians rugby club is a family friendly place where players of all ages and ability are warmly welcomed.
