Following the women's win on Sunday afternoon, a very important presentation took place in our Future Building Clubhouse.
RFU Chair Tom Llube commissioned a painting by award winning artist Nneka Uzoigwe to celebrate the Red Roses; Past, Present and Future. The painting depicts England women's team playing in the 2022 World Cup Final at Eden Park in Auckland. The original hangs in the President's Suite at Twickenham and Buckinghamshire RFU have very kindly gifted a limited edition print to Chesham Stags.
Pride of place in our Future Building Clubhouse alongside the obligatory Deer Friend scarf!
Presented by Bucks RFU Hon. Treasurer Kevin Marriott and RFU Council Rep Simon Winman, Women's co-captains Emma Leek and Becci Andrews were delighted to receive such an honour from our county board to celebrate Chesham's contribution to Women's rugby over the years.

32 years of Women's rugby is an incredible achievement and something to be hugely proud of. Without the dedication of club stalwarts like Morris Hogg, Claire Moore and Vicky Boorman, Chesham might not even have a Women's team and it was a pleasure to have them join the celebrations.
Here's to the next 32 years and hopefully many more!
