World Cup Countdown

World Cup Countdown
Durham County RFU launched its countdown to RWC 2015 at Mowden Park's Arena last night  with the aim of helping all of the county's clubs maximise the opportunity the competition will provide ..
Our very own Michelle Martin - now back with the Under 8's  - took the opportunity to have her photo taken with England captain Katy McLean MBE and the Women's World Cup they won in France in the summer

Katy and teammate Tamara Taylor were guests of honour at the function, which  included workshops and a keynote speech from IRB member John Spencer. He gave a refreshingly frank appraisal of funding, the costs of running the IRB  and debunking the notion that just taking part is good enough.

"It's not," he said. "It's all about winning, and there is no harm in our young players wanting to win every time they go on the pitch."

As part of the build up the men's World Cup will be making an appearance in Hartlepool sometime in August. Further details nearer the date.

Great photo for the Martin family album.

Hope we can get a women's team going soon.
