Hello and welcome to episode 15 of GrassRoots, the only podcast aimed squarely at the women’s grassroots game.In episode 15 we discuss the trials and tribulations of captaincy with Katie and we welcome a guest all the way in New South Wales, Australia. In a fascinating interview we hear about women’s rugby down under, the challenges of playing in hot weather and learn that refs can be stupid there too.Cherie doesn’t fancy being a captain but gives some sound (!) advice to a listener with an all too common problem. We also announce our first competition winner in partnership with Halbro, look at how to balance the leadership group and Jodie bamboozles us all with knock on, knock off.If you’re interested in joining St. David’s RUFC ladies, they are having an open day on the 21st March at 7pm at St. David’s RUFC, SA62 6PB.

Tune in to GrassRoots-Women's Rugby from the Roots Up, where hosts Matt, Lou, Jodie, Dubs, Lucy, and Mollie gather to talk about the real heart of the sport. This isn't a show about professional contracts or international headlines; it's a bi-monthly conversation dedicated entirely to the vibrant, chaotic, and joyful world of women's rugby at the club level. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair in the clubhouse after a match, diving into the stories of the teams and the unforgettable characters that make the community so special. You'll hear about the essence and culture that binds players together, from the muddy pitches to the socials, and get a genuine spotlight on squads competing in various leagues across the country. Adding a unique perspective, the legendary Cherie (ChezSez) regularly shares intimate insights from her own life in rugby, offering a personal lens on the game's triumphs and challenges. This podcast is built for anyone who loves the unvarnished, authentic side of sports-the camaraderie, the grassroots intrigue, and the pure passion that fuels every scrum and lineout. It’s a celebration of the foundation upon which the entire women’s game is built, told by the people who live it every week.
