Basildon player Holly Le Grave has just returned from eight days of intensive England u19's squad training, which included two tests against Canada.
England won the first 29-5 and the second 43-0.
Holly was instrumental in the wins of both games, playing on the wing. This is a new position for Holly and she is making her mark.
Holly is honoured to have been selected into the London squad of the Super League, the only Essex lady to do so. This is the tool that the selectors use for inclusion into the Senior England Elite Ladies.

Holly has her first match on 20/4 and is training hard for this at both wing and scrum half!
Luckily, Holly has been awarded a Talented Athlete Award by the RFUW, which finances her travelling and playing costs and also provides her with one to one training in positional specifics. She is also given weekly strength and conditioning training and nutritional advice.
Holly is keen to pass on all the new training techniques and advice that she receives from the England set-up, and so is currently arranging a summer session for girls and Ladies. This is open to all girls at both u14's and u17's level in Essex.

Did you know that the girl behind Holly is Alexandra's (U14) other rugby playing sister, Francesca, who played for England U19's last year on tour in Canada and played in all three internationals this season.
Phil, what's your email address? Our girls thoroughly enjoyed playing your girls and they are a friendly bunch OFF the pitch. Looking forward to next season's clashes.
