Cardiff Uni women’s rugby team play first Cardiff Clash of the year
The team demonstrated passion and perseverance
Zoe JonesThe 2024/25 season marks the second year that the Cardiff Uni women’s rugby team will compete in the highest league run by the governing body British Universities and Colleges Sport, aka BUCS.
In the first game of the season Cardiff University’s women’s first team took on Cardiff Met in the monumental Cardiff Clash at Cardiff Arms Park, which saw a competitive, powerful and engaging display of rugby ending in Met securing the win.
Cardiff Uni’s first team captain Claudia Harrison has an ambition to “build on the strong foundations” the team established over preseason and “continue to bring the intensity and play for each other”. The newly appointed head coach and former Wales international player, Nic Evans, praises the players in the league endorsing them as “amazing athletes”.
This year there was an incredible progression for women’s rugby as we saw the top BUCS league being granted the same Super Rugby status as the men’s sides.
The former ‘Women’s National League’ (WNL) has now been renamed ‘Women’s BUCS Super Rugby’ (WBSR) which Evans, agrees “sounds a far more exciting prospect’”. She confirms that the league needs to “build [its] visibility and the name is just one of the ways to do that” alongside “marketing strategies” which are “key elements of attracting interest and sponsorship into the game”.
Evans went on to highlight the need for “commercial development of the game to build on worldwide momentum that rugby has at the moment as one of the fastest growing sports for women”. Remaining focused on female athletes, Evans speaks of the importance of the “secure foundations” that the academic league is built on which “support women to be dual pathway athletes and follow an academic path with the right support”.
With Nic Evans in tow it is sure to be an exciting and vibrant season for Cardiff Uni’s women’s side!
