Welcome back to episode three of her
0:04
huddle. This week I'm joined by Dev and
0:07
Jess. We have no material this week. He
0:09
has decided to let us run wild for this
0:11
one. So you got us three girls on today.
0:13
Um on today's episode we will be looking
0:15
back and reflecting on the past two
0:17
weeks of girl ball in the UK as well as
0:20
looking forward to next week for some um
0:23
amazing fixtures. We will be seeing one
0:25
of our first associate games in a while
0:26
getting played next weekend and we have
0:29
our tournaments for the sevens and a
0:30
couple of nights matches going on. So
0:32
yeah,
0:36
>> hello everyone.
0:38
>> Hello.
0:39
>> How we all doing? How's everyone been?
0:41
How what have we all been up to for the
0:43
past couple of weeks?
0:45
>> Um well, I've been I've been on me
0:48
jollies. I've been on me holidays for
0:50
three weeks. Got back last night. Um,
0:52
backpacking across Central America,
0:55
finishing up uni, all that fun. All that
0:57
fun stuff.
0:59
>> Yeah,
1:00
>> sounds good. Sounds good. Better than
1:02
me. I think I'm the only person in the
1:04
UK that has been sick in the heatwave,
1:07
so actually had a flu and then I injured
1:10
my finger in the dub again, so it is
1:13
still quite swollen. Um, so yeah, I've
1:16
just been sorting that out and work as
1:20
usual.
1:21
Otherwise, all good.
1:23
>> Not bad. Jess, when you when's your
1:25
graduation? When's when's the big day?
1:28
>> Um, 16th of July. So, couple of weeks.
1:34
>> Hoping to keep the channel till then.
1:36
>> Yeah. Can you reveal kind of what what
1:38
like you got, what level, like what's
1:41

1:42
>> Yeah. So, I got a first class degree
1:45

1:46
>> in business with sport. So,
1:50
She's a She's a woman in STEMA and sport
1:52
first class.
1:53
>> Okay, we love it.
1:55
>> She's smart. Yeah.
1:57
>> To the best.
1:58
>> Congratulations.
2:00
>> Thank you very much. Graduations are
2:02
fun. It's a lot of sitting and if it's
2:04
anything like my graduation, it's very
2:06
hot. Like we our whole entire hall we
2:09
were in, we were just sitting fanning
2:11
fanning each other. It was
2:13
>> Yeah, it does go on for a while.
2:15
>> I would recommend snacks.
2:17
>> Yeah. Secret them in. Yeah, go to your
2:20
seat before the time and like hide
2:22
things.
2:24
>> Yeah, we managed to We the way our gowns
2:27
are, you can kind of hide sort of hide
2:29
stuff stuff in, but they couldn't really
2:31
care. Yes, as long as you don't trip on
2:33
the stage. That was a fear I didn't have
2:36
until one of my friends in my class was
2:38
like, "Oh, I'm so scared of tripping on
2:40
the stage. Like, I'm in heels." And I
2:41
went, "Wait, but but I'm in heels." And
2:43
she was like, "Yeah, I'm terrified." And
2:44
I went, "Oh my god." So then I was
2:47
stressed about trying not to trip in
2:49
front of everyone and then the live
2:51
stream that was happening as well.
2:56
>> Well, if I do, you'll have a clip to
2:57
post.
2:59
>> That is true.
3:00
>> We'll get the highlights.
3:01
>> Yeah.
3:04
>> Okay. So, we're moving on to, you know,
3:07
football. Um, so we've had a couple of
3:09
fixtures be played since our last um
3:11
podcast. So, we're going to be looking
3:13
at last weekend's result, which seen the
3:16
Manchester Titans play home. I think it
3:18
was home. Might have been away.
3:22
>> Yeah.
3:23
>> Yeah. Um home against the T-side
3:26
Steelers. So, very, very good game from
3:28
the girls. As you can see, it was 22 to
3:30
the T-side Steelers, six to the
3:32
Manchester Titans. You know, I've seen
3:35
clips online from some of the girls and
3:37
it just seemed like a really good fun
3:38
day, um fun pregame. What are you guys
3:41
kind of thoughts on this? Is there
3:43
anything kind of like shocking or is it
3:45
kind of how you thought the game was
3:47
going to go? Anything any insight?
3:51
>> Um I think when I saw the score it was
3:53
22n at Halime. So for the Titans to hold
3:56
them to not score anything in the second
3:59
half and get points from the table, I
4:01
think that's real testimony to like the
4:03
grit of the Titans and how much like
4:05
despite being obviously bottom of the
4:07
table, having a few losses back to back.
4:10
Um they still always just keep trying
4:12
and keep going for it and yeah, it's a
4:15
great bunch of girls from the Titans. Um
4:17
nice little family group and um but
4:21
yeah, great game. I think uh one of the
4:24
T-side Steelers I think she got her
4:26
first touchdown like since playing the
4:27
sport. So I think that was pretty cool
4:29
as well.
4:30
>> Good shout out to them. Great game.
4:35
>> Jess, anything or is this kind of how
4:37
you thought it was going to work out?
4:39
>> I think most would probably would have
4:41
expected a win for T-side with how the
4:44
season's gone for the Titans, but it's
4:47
great for them for the table as well.
4:49
Moves them up. I think it's moved them
4:50
from fourth to third now. Um, so it's
4:53
great for them. It's great to see them
4:56
doing so well because obviously you got
4:58
Titans who are such an established team
5:00
as well. So
5:02
yeah, I don't think it's unexpected, but
5:05
as you said, it was really good of
5:07
Manchester to hold their own um and get
5:09
some points on the board, which we've
5:11
seen them not get as many as I think
5:14
what people would have expected at the
5:15
start of the season, but seems like they
5:17
finally might be getting into the groove
5:19
a little bit more with getting points
5:21
and especially tightening up the defense
5:23
a lot more as the season's progressed.
5:28
Yeah, it definitely it seems like it
5:30
from um especially kind of like last
5:32
season. I know they weren't doing too
5:33
well last season as well. It's good to
5:35
see that the girls are kind of like
5:37
building upon stuff and you know they
5:38
are slowly becoming one unit and it is
5:41
good to kind of see you see it um again
5:43
through social media like big up to you
5:45
know Chloe and Ruby who are constantly
5:48
posting on social media constantly the
5:51
Tik Toks here the Instagrams.
5:53
>> It's a trio not a doer anymore. Oh yeah,
5:56
they got Kira as well.
5:59
Some of the some of the Tik Toks I've
6:00
been seeing from the girls on
6:01
Manchester, they are definitely doing it
6:04
right. Like Tik Tok is the way to go.
6:06
It's a way to my heart. I love kind of
6:08
Tik Tok media creation and everything.
6:10
And those girls are like queens and
6:13
every anything that you think they can
6:15
do, they will probably do it. So it's
6:18
it's good to see like that environment
6:20
with the Titans is such a relaxed and
6:23
fun environment. Sometimes you kind of
6:25
see it where you know you are the top
6:27
women's division and sometimes there
6:30
that pressure to be well, do well, be
6:32
successful. So like people do take it
6:35
seriously. And I'm not saying there's
6:36
anything wrong with that. But it's good
6:38
to kind of see that, you know, they are
6:40
taking it seriously, but they're also
6:41
having fun with it and it's showing and
6:43
they are showing how strong, you know,
6:46
Manchester Titans is. It's not just a
6:48
team, it's a family, which I really do
6:50
love. And it's it's the same with
6:51
T-side. know, believe it was this game
6:54
just passed that they were also doing a
6:56
fundraiser for two former members of the
6:58
club who had passed away as well. Um,
6:59
and you know, that's my heart always
7:01
goes out to them every time I see those
7:03
these kind of posts pop up. And you
7:05
know, it's definitely I think made them
7:07
stronger as a club and it's good to kind
7:09
of see that even other oppositions that
7:11
they're facing when these when they do
7:13
share these posts, they do share it. So,
7:15
it's it's it's nice. It's I I do like I
7:19
do love them. My heart goes out to
7:20
everyone, man. But yeah, um there was
7:23
obviously the Birmingham versus T-side
7:26
match that did see Birmingham win two
7:28
weeks ago. Um we don't have the graphic
7:30
up for that. Um again, any thoughts on
7:33
that? I know I'm kind of throwing it at
7:34
you, but you know, Lions, they're kind
7:37
of they're 4-0 at the moment. They are
7:38
the top top dog nines um taking on
7:41
T-side who are kind of they're in that
7:43
contention with Warriors for that second
7:46
place.
7:47
>> So what what are your guys kind of
7:49
thoughts on the result? I can't remember
7:50
the exact score line, but I know it was
7:53
>> a convincing Birmingham win.
7:57
>> Um, yeah, I think that game kind of went
8:00
kind of how it's expected really. Lions
8:02
have been very tight on their defense
8:04
and offense. So, yeah, it's a strong
8:09
side. It's a tough tough matchup, but um
8:12
yeah, Tside have always shown again just
8:15
that grit. I think throughout all of the
8:16
nines teams, everyone has grit and
8:18
everyone is always just like on the
8:21
fight, on the hunt, like trying to win.
8:22
So, um, yeah, great game as usual, but
8:26
Lions are just, yeah, on the rampage
8:29
this season for sure.
8:32
>> Uh, yeah. Um,
8:35
I think it's also good to mention that
8:38
how good the Warriors are as well. Like
8:40
in contention with with T-side, like
8:44
that top three is going to be a lot
8:47
closer than I think
8:49
maybe we expected.
8:51
Um, especially at this point in the
8:53
season. We're so close to the end of the
8:55
season now and it is literally anyone's
8:58
game. But
8:59
>> yeah. Yeah,
9:00
>> I think T-side are I think they're real
9:03
underdogs and I do think that they could
9:05
come second come the end of the season.
9:08
Um, but we'll just have to see about how
9:12
these next two tournaments go.
9:15
>> Yeah, it's it's going to be a close one,
9:18
but I think I said in the last one in
9:20
the last pod, where is it going to win?
9:22
Okay, 100%. Money's coming. That was
9:26
going to be my next question of do you
9:28
think at this point in the season is
9:30
there anyone that can you know knock
9:32
Birmingham off this 4 and0 streak and I
9:36
believe they probably still have
9:37
Warriors to play. I the nines division
9:40
always confuses me because you play some
9:42
teams twice and some teams once.
9:44
>> Yeah, I think it was already selected
9:46
who would play who twice but let me just
9:48
have a quick look. I know there's a um
9:52
schedule thing out but yeah I think I
9:54
think the issue is that people see that
9:56
um Birmingham have gone 4 and0 but that
9:58
first game was the Birmingham vers
10:00
Warriors game that was the first game of
10:01
like the nines opening up so everyone's
10:04
you know shaking off the rust and
10:05
everything they got the win on that one
10:07
but I think uh yeah warriors have it in
10:10
the end
10:12
>> especially though
10:13
>> you know there those two the two kind of
10:16
backto-back matches that Warriors had
10:18
that where they traveled up to T-side
10:19
and put like 60 on T-side after what I'd
10:23
been told from um Danny who plays um who
10:25
plays with them. She had told me that
10:27
you know it was a rough travel day,
10:29
delays
10:31
um a slight postponeed kickoff but not a
10:33
not a decent size postponement of
10:36
kickoff. Um and you know they still went
10:38
out there and balled and baldled hard.
10:41
So, I do think I think the way that the
10:44
table's looking at the moment based on
10:45
how they done the playoffs last year, I
10:48
believe it should be I think it's one
10:50
and four against two and three, I think.
10:53
>> Yeah, I think that's what happened last
10:54
year. One one vers, two vers three.
10:57
>> Yeah. So, at the moment it would be
11:00
>> it would be Warriors.
11:03
>> Yeah. And then Lions versus Solen at the
11:06
moment. Yeah.
11:08
>> But who knows? I mean, you know, so have
11:12
unfortunately had that injury to QB. Um,
11:15
she's now working out for the rest of
11:17
the season. Um, but they have had time
11:20
to kind of go away and work on stuff.
11:22
Um, they've obviously not had
11:23
backto-back matches, which is probably
11:25
being quite beneficial for the team.
11:27
Obviously, they do go again next week,
11:29
but we will obviously be talking about
11:30
that in a few moments. But it'll be kind
11:33
of interesting to see how Solent do
11:37
without QB1
11:40
is, you know,
11:41
>> playing for a host of teams, I know what
11:43
it's like to kind of lose QB1 and not do
11:47
well.
11:49
>> Um, so it will be kind of interesting to
11:51
see how the girls take it from here and
11:53
what they can do. You know, it's a very
11:54
solid program. I got a lot of friends at
11:57
the club. um a lot of people who I kind
11:58
of look up to and still kind of talk to
12:01
and I do want to see them succeed, but I
12:04
I'm curious to see how they're gonna
12:05
kind of do
12:07
>> will it will this flip like flipped the
12:09
switch in them, you know, and they go
12:10
out for vengeance or will they kind of
12:12
not roll over? But
12:15
>> yeah, it will be
12:17
>> Q1 people under underestimate like how
12:20
important QB1 really is. Um so yeah,
12:23
we'll see. I'm hopeful that they um
12:25
they'll still be able to stay in it and
12:27
still have a fight. Um but yeah, we'll
12:28
see over this next couple of games.
12:34
So, we've kind of mentioned it already.
12:36
Here is our current, you know, nines
12:38
table. We do see, you know, Birmingham
12:40
Lions 4-0 right at the top against the
12:43
Manchester Titans at the bottom who are
12:45
0 and4. Now, this is the thing. Anything
12:48
can change, any win can throw. I mean
12:52
last year, you know, Solen did take
12:53
everyone by surprise by knocking
12:55
Warriors out and then going on to win
12:56
the finals after, you know,
12:59
>> the previous season not being as strong.
13:02
I believe
13:03
this is taking me back. Um I think two
13:06
seasons ago, which would have been my
13:07
first season with Royals. I know we
13:08
ended up at the bottom of the table
13:10
after losing against Solent, but in that
13:12
division, I believe leadeds were still
13:14
an active team as well. Could it could
13:17
be wrong. So it probably would have been
13:19
well Lions, Warriors, T-side, Solent,
13:22
Manchester, Royals, and Leads. That
13:24
would have been a seven 17.
13:26
>> I don't know. I don't know if T-side Who
13:29
wasn't in? Somebody wasn't in. I know it
13:31
was Royals when I was playing. It was
13:33
Royals, leads,
13:36
Lions, Warriors, and just one other. I
13:39
don't think it was
13:41
Don't think it was Flashes. I think it
13:42
was Steelers. Yeah, I don't think there
13:44
was more than that. I don't think
13:45
Russia's were up as yet.
13:48
>> Yeah. So, I know.
13:49
>> Yeah. My first season, which would have
13:51
been 2020
13:53
for Yeah. 2024,
13:55
>> definitely had T-side. Definitely had
13:58
T-side cuz that was my first match where
14:00
I got put on my
14:01
>> put on my behind and hurt my chest from
14:03
um Tony, you know, their number 69 Big
14:05
Tony end.
14:07
>> Yeah.
14:07
>> Yeah. Poor little me didn't know how to
14:09
block her. She got sent flying on her
14:10
back. And then our second match was
14:13
against Solen Thrashers at home. Um I
14:16
distinctly remember so that was two
14:18
seasons ago. So that was our the season
14:21
before we dropped down to sevens. So
14:23
>> I think I think I haven't played in two
14:27
seasons actually. It might to be fair it
14:30
might
14:34
still up in
14:36
>> 2023 I believe Edinburgh Wolves were
14:40
still in the N division probably some
14:43
>> no doubt I have someone on the recording
14:45
going that's incorrect
14:47
>> but you also you also did have East Co
14:51
and Edinburgh Wales I don't know if East
14:53
Bride ever played in nines but obviously
14:54
you still had two Scottish teams a
14:56
couple years ago
14:58
Yeah. Dang, it's actually been a while
15:00
since I played. I just realized, okay,
15:03
cool. I'm out the loop. But yeah, is
15:07
there anything kind of that you guys are
15:09
seeing on the N table at the moment
15:11
that's kind of catching your eye or
15:13
maybe a bit like, oh, that's a bit
15:15
interesting. Or is this, especially like
15:17
at the start of the season, is this how
15:19
you kind of imagine the table looking
15:22
at, you know, I would say the midpoint
15:24
of the season close towards the end. Is
15:26
this kind of how you guys thought it
15:28
would be looking?
15:30
>> Um, I thought Ashes might be higher up
15:32
to be fair. Um, but obviously a lot of
15:37
considering circumstances have happened
15:39
since um during the season. Um, but
15:42
yeah, I think it's it's about accurate
15:45
about the same as as last ones as well.
15:47
So yeah,
15:49
no surprises really.
15:52
>> Jess, no. you.
15:54
>> The only thing I'm surprised of is that
15:57
I think it doesn't help that it was the
15:59
Lions Warriors the first games you see
16:01
cuz I am quite surprised that they've
16:04
gone 4 and0. All credit to them. That is
16:07
incredible for them. Um but I just am a
16:11
little bit shocked because I think it's
16:12
such a hard thing to be on four games
16:14
and not a single loss. It's very
16:16
impressive, but it's just how long they
16:19
can keep it up. That's what sort of
16:20
scares me for them a little bit.
16:24
Yeah, I think I believe it should be two
16:26
games that they'll have left.
16:28
>> I could be wrong.
16:29
>> Yeah, I think Warriors played Titans and
16:32
then they played Thrashers.
16:36
Um, but yeah, I'm not sure who the Lions
16:38
are playing.
16:40
>> Yeah, I think Lions were playing next
16:42
weekend
16:44
based on the graphic I can kind of see
16:45
on the screen. Um, yeah, I think Lions
16:48
will be playing next week. I think
16:49
there's only one team that's not playing
16:51
next week.
16:53
I can't remember who. We'll we'll we'll
16:55
get to that eventually when we talk
16:56
about pictures,
16:57
>> but yeah, I'm pretty sure.
17:00
>> Yeah, five teams. I want to say there's
17:02
six matches in their season.
17:04
>> Mhm.
17:05
>> Prove me wrong. So, yeah, they'll most
17:07
of them, three of the teams will have
17:09
two matches left. Two of the teams will
17:10
have three matches left. Um, come next
17:12
weekend, obviously, that will change.
17:15
But, yeah, it's I would say it's an
17:17
interesting table that number one and
17:19
number two spot. It's always
17:21
going to be there's not much separating
17:24
Lions and Warriors. You know, there's
17:25
two solid programs, solid offenses,
17:28
solid solid defenses. You know, they're
17:30
two teams that have been working
17:31
together for a while and been working
17:33
well with each other. So, it is
17:36
interesting. I do agree that maybe the
17:38
Lions Warriors game should have been
17:39
later on in the season just to kind of
17:42
give that good, you know, this is one
17:45
and two off the tier.
17:47
>> How is it going to go? A bit like how
17:49
we've just recently had in the mixed
17:50
adult. We had the Hartford Streetas
17:52
against London Blitz B. No, that's tell
17:55
a lie. Oxford Saints against London
17:57
Blitzby. Both were 4-0. I want to say
18:00
5-0 and obviously the match happened
18:04
later on in the season which gives yeah
18:05
good kind of buildup and of who's going
18:08
to be at the top of the tier and Oxford
18:10
Saints are actually at that top of the
18:11
tier. So it would have been
18:13
>> good to kind of see that. I mean, we're
18:15
saying this and for all we know, you
18:17
know, they have a rematch against each
18:19
other, which I wouldn't be surprised.
18:20
They might end up having that rematch,
18:23
but yeah,
18:24
>> I mean, excited to kind of see how this
18:27
how this tier is going to shape up for
18:29
the finals. You know, what four are we
18:30
going to see in the finals? Cuz we could
18:33
end up seeing Manchester in that spot if
18:37
they are playing, you know, if they're
18:39
playing solo. could find them
18:41
>> playing being in the playoffs for the
18:42
first time in a couple of seasons
18:44
potentially. So very interesting to see
18:47
hopefully, you know, we'll find out more
18:49
in the next kind of couple weeks. Yeah.
18:52
Um moving on to the sevens table. Now
18:55
this is meant to be split north and
18:56
south. We have had kind of confirmation
18:58
from Baffa. We just haven't done it yet.
19:00
Um the graphic will be hopefully fixed
19:02
for next week. So again, it's kind of
19:07
it's a weird table because when you do
19:09
split it north and south, you know, you
19:12
have Harford cheaters at the top for the
19:15
south, then Kent, then Cardiff, and then
19:18
when you flip it to the north, you've
19:19
got Cheshire in first, Royals in second,
19:21
and then Newcastle in third. Combining
19:25
it though, you know, you are starting to
19:27
get a different look. You've got two of
19:31
the teams in the south in that first and
19:34
third spot
19:35
>> and then you've kind of, you know, your
19:38
teams are sitting lower down.
19:41
>> Is it's an interesting table and I've
19:44
been saying this for weeks. I as a
19:46
player in the sevens, I want to know how
19:48
playoffs are working. I want to know if
19:50
they're going to be like last season
19:52
where one, two, three, and four qualify
19:55
>> or if this season it's going to be teams
19:58
one and two from the north and teams one
19:59
and two from the south will progress.
20:03
Still haven't heard anything. Still
20:04
don't 100% know
20:07
anyone's game. Look at this table guys.
20:10
I know I don't know how savvy you guys
20:13
are with the sevens league. Is there
20:15
anything you know that's kind of jumping
20:17
out of you? any teams that you feel are
20:19
going to be teams to watch. So, all of
20:22
us have four more games to play. Um, two
20:26
more tournaments and then I think we
20:28
have a week off and then I believe it
20:31
will be our finals in August. So, last
20:33
match will be played on the 1st of
20:34
August with the finals being on the
20:36
15th. So,
20:39
>> any teams that are catching your eye,
20:40
teams that you can see already making
20:43
that straight qual qualification for the
20:44
final, what's what's the kind of
20:46
thoughts?
20:48
Um, I think from what I've seen from the
20:50
cheaters, uh, they've been really,
20:52
really solid this season. Um, I feel
20:54
like the improvement in the club has
20:57
been like excellent. So, them being
21:00
currently, I know the table needs to be
21:02
split, but them being at the top at the
21:04
minute, I think is well deserved. Um,
21:07
from the cheaters, I don't really know
21:08
much about the Bears um, if I'm being
21:11
honest.
21:14
it. Yeah.
21:16
But with Royals, I was really expecting
21:19
more wins on the board from the Royals
21:21
if I'm being honest. I think that's the
21:24
main kind of like thing that jumped out
21:26
cuz obviously when I was playing in
21:28
nines, they were up in nines with us.
21:30
So, I think that's that's one of the um
21:33
the things that kind of stood out to me
21:35
from the table looking at it. Um, but
21:37
yeah, it's it's anyone's game still and
21:40
if we do ever find out how the playoffs
21:41
work, then then we'll know who will be
21:44
in the finals. But yeah,
21:49
>> Jess, how about you? What What's she
21:50
What you thinking?
21:53
>> I think I think that top two would
21:56
probably be the
21:58
final game to be honest. whichever way
22:02
they do the playoffs, whe they do the
22:04
one to four or they split it down the
22:07
middle, I think that will be the final
22:09
game. And I do think that
22:12
they both deserve it because they've
22:14
both been solid both attacking and
22:17
defensive. I mean, look at you got to
22:20
look at like Chesher and that they've
22:22
only conceded 19. Like that is
22:26
incredibly impressive and it just shows
22:29
that you know you don't have to you
22:32
don't have to be a huge household name
22:35
as such.
22:37
>> Mhm.
22:37
>> To have that sort of tight-knit squad
22:40
which they do seem to have. They've got
22:41
one loss. Um but yeah, I think they're
22:44
impressive and I think I kind of
22:47
expected more from Cardiff as well if
22:49
I'm going to be honest.
22:51
I sort of thought they might be like I
22:54
mean I know there's only been four games
22:56
played so
22:58
we're about halfway through. Um but I
23:01
was sort of expecting them to be like
23:02
pushing for top for some reason. I don't
23:05
know why. I just thought that they would
23:07
be. But yeah, I think it is too early
23:11
still to call it. Maybe after next
23:13
weekend we'll be like it'll be a lot
23:15
easier to think, okay, this is how it's
23:17
shaping up. But because we're halfway
23:20
through, it's still all it takes is one
23:22
tournament. And you know, we could see
23:25
Newcastle win both games and then
23:27
they'll be in the running. It's all it
23:29
takes is one tournament.
23:31
>> Yeah, I think with the um cheers,
23:35
Harford cheaters versus Chester Bears,
23:37
they both played each other as the
23:40
opening match at the tournament, the
23:43
cross divisional tournament in Sheffield
23:44
a couple um two months ago. The game was
23:47
four TAS to Cheshure. So it was a very
23:51
very close game only won by one safety.
23:56
So it they have played each other and
23:57
that's where that kind of one one game
24:01
difference looks um is from each other.
24:03
Um I think I can't remember the ties
24:05
come from from Cheetahs if I'm honest. I
24:07
think it might have been Kent I want to
24:09
say was their tie.
24:10
>> Yeah cuz yeah Kent's got the one on
24:12
there as well. So it be not cheat
24:17
actually read the read the table but
24:19
yeah
24:20
>> I think
24:22
>> I remember kind of watching the cheetah
24:24
as Cheshure game as we arrived up into
24:26
Sheffield and you know it's two very
24:29
strong teams Cheshure last year they I
24:32
think they kind of fell victim the same
24:33
way that we did at Royals where you know
24:36
the tournaments a week before the GB
24:39
game you've got starting players for
24:42
both teams that have to be careful with
24:45
what they're doing because you know they
24:47
don't want to be injured for an
24:48
international game. I think at that
24:50
tournament there was Holly and Liv for
24:53
Cheshure and not Cheser sorry Holly and
24:55
Liv for Cheetahs that were playing the
24:57
following week against Finland and then
24:58
you had myself and Vicki from Royals who
25:01
again were playing and I think actually
25:04
Cardiff know was it Kent Kent actually
25:07
had one of their D linemen called Chris
25:09
um Christy if I'm saying her name right
25:13
um who was also playing as well so there
25:15
was a couple of us that were kind of a
25:17
bit more reserved I mean, I know last
25:19
year, I think I've said it so many times
25:21
on podcast that us in the finals, we
25:23
weren't sure if we were even going to
25:24
qualify for the finals. We were told we
25:26
weren't allowed to because we had
25:29
dropped from nines right at the start of
25:30
the season. We technically had a yellow
25:32
card against our names. So, they um
25:35
Baffa said, "Well, no, because you
25:37
failed the health check, you guys can't
25:39
play in the finals."
25:41
>> For then us to kind of go seven and one
25:43
in the main regular season. And they
25:45
eventually decided I think maybe a month
25:47
before the tournament actually you guys
25:49
can play in the finals.
25:51
>> Oh wow.
25:52
>> At that point you know we had key
25:53
players had booked holidays. Some of us
25:56
some of our players you know they're
25:58
teachers. They can only take holiday at
26:00
certain times. So we had quite a few key
26:03
players missing. We hadn't really been
26:05
training cuz people had booked holidays.
26:07
People were working. It's it
26:10
unfortunately does happen and that's
26:12
kind of like the whole is BAFA doing
26:15
enough to help cuz it took us a lot of
26:17
fighting to kind of say to BAFA, you
26:20
know, we deserve to be in the finals as
26:21
well where we've only lost once this
26:25
whole entire season. Yes, there was two
26:26
walkover wins on that, but even still,
26:29
you know, that's five games where we've
26:31
won and it's not like we've won by one
26:33
point. They were quite hefty wins.
26:36
>> Yeah. Yeah.
26:36
>> So, it's it's definitely interesting. Um
26:40
I think Newcastle at the moment they're
26:44
unfortunately just struggling with
26:45
numbers. Um they have the tough
26:48
competition of T-side is literally just
26:50
down the road. So players have been kind
26:52
of going there. I do know that you know
26:54
they have had some players come down
26:56
from Scotland that were part of Wolves
26:58
and part of East Coco Bride part of like
27:01
the Chaos join when they both joined
27:03
together that moved down to Newcastle.
27:05
But again, it's it's a long journey and
27:08
you know, the club is kind of struggling
27:09
with their numbers.
27:11
>> It'll be interesting to see next
27:13
Saturday if we have the same issue that
27:15
we had at the Royals tournament where
27:18
they unfortunately had to concede the
27:19
second game because they couldn't
27:21
continue due to player injury. Um, too
27:24
many of their players have been injured.
27:26
They didn't travel down well enough. But
27:29
saying that it's their home tournament,
27:31
you know, they might have more numbers.
27:33
It should have everybody's in the area.
27:37
>> But yeah, um I also do agree with Jess.
27:39
Sorry, chatting a load, but um I do
27:42
agree with Jess. I did also think
27:43
Cardiff would be higher up based on the
27:46
fact that they actually came second last
27:47
year.
27:48
>> Cardiff knocked
27:50
>> Cardiff knocked us out
27:51
>> to the third place. So it was us against
27:54
Cardiff, Cheetahs against Exiles, and
27:57
then that's where the Kent um Kent and
27:59
Cardiff final for first and second, and
28:01
then us against Cheetahs for third and
28:02
fourth happened. But yeah, I did kind of
28:05
expect more. Obviously, they have won
28:08
against us as well this season. Um so
28:12
I don't know if it's mainly because of
28:14
that presumption that, you know, from
28:15
last year they done really well right at
28:16
the finals.
28:18
I mean, they could do exactly the same
28:20
thing again this year if they're going
28:22
to qualify for the finals. It's anyone's
28:24
game at the moment. And until we kind of
28:26
find out how this playoff bracket is
28:28
working,
28:29
you never assume.
28:32
>> Yeah, cuz at the moment, I would assume
28:33
that Royals would be in the final, how
28:35
if it was split north and south, but you
28:37
know, flip to a full table, we're not
28:39
qualifying.
28:40
>> So, it's it'll be good to kind of know
28:43
once Baffa decided if they have decided
28:46
and if they want to share that
28:47
information with us.
28:48
Please do let us know.
28:50
>> I want to know.
28:51
>> I want to know so badly.
28:54
>> Yeah. So, looking forward to the next
28:57
week. We're coming up to we have a lot
29:00
of games this week. We have Well, yeah.
29:02
In the next week, we have um both the
29:04
nines and sevens playing this week. I
29:06
think there is only one team that is not
29:08
playing next week and that is T-side
29:10
Steelers. Everyone else is playing.
29:13
So looking at this um you've got
29:16
Birmingham home to Solent, Manchester
29:18
home to Warriors, Harfordshire's hosting
29:20
their home tournament, and Newcastle
29:23
hosting their home tournament. Is there
29:25
any matches on here that you guys are
29:29
excited to kind of see? Bit like how
29:31
Buff have got their, you know, match of
29:32
the week. What's everyone's match of the
29:34
week? What um what match do you kind of
29:36
have eyes on? What one are you kind of
29:38
excited to see the score for?
29:41
What's what's what's you thinking, guys?
29:44
>> Um,
29:49
wait. I think my cheaters option for
29:51
cheaters versus exiles is wrong.
29:55
I think that was definitely supposed to
29:56
be cheaters again for that one. Um,
30:00
but the the games scorewise, I want to
30:03
see how many points Lions are going to
30:05
put on and what Dashes are going to
30:08
bring to the table for this game. Um I'm
30:10
really hoping that they are able to
30:12
bounce back from everything and give us
30:15
some some good entertainment on that
30:16
one. Um Warriors traveling up to
30:19
Manchester. Yeah, again the points on
30:23
the table. Um excited to see that one as
30:26
well. See how much what kind of fight
30:28
everyone's got in them this late into
30:31
the season. Um
30:34
but yeah, the cheaters I want to see if
30:36
they can hold up the kind of like that
30:38
excellence that they've been been um
30:40
kind of displaying uh throughout so far.
30:43
And then whether Cardiff can actually
30:45
bounce back as well would be quite
30:47
interesting to see considering they were
30:49
second. I didn't realize they were
30:50
second in in last season. So it' be good
30:54
to see that. And then Royals backing you
30:56
all the way. Bring back some
31:00
bring back some wins.
31:02
Um but yeah, and also like Newcastle,
31:04
you're hosting your you're hosting this
31:06
this tournament. So to see like are they
31:08
able to bring the numbers, are we able
31:10
to see them actually be able to go
31:12
through and play play both the games um
31:15
will be will be good to see. And um I
31:19
think that Royals Bears game is going to
31:20
be a fight as well for sure. That was
31:22
going to be interesting. But you guys
31:24
are playing back to back so that's the
31:26
only
31:28
taffy tappy. But we'll see how that
31:30
goes. Yeah, it's good. It's a full
31:33
weekend of games.
31:35
>> Yeah, 100%.
31:38
>> Jess, how about you? What What's your
31:40
thinking on this kind of match up this
31:41
match ups next Saturday?
31:44
>> I think it's going to be good. I think
31:45
we're going to see a lot of points. Um,
31:47
which is always good. I think if we were
31:50
talking a game of the week, I'm really
31:52
excited for Cardiff v Kent because as
31:55
much as we've all gone for Kent, I I do
31:57
think it could go either way. Um, I
32:00
don't think it's going to be a walkover
32:02
for either side necessarily in terms of
32:05
points, but I think that'll be such an
32:07
interesting game and I think that that
32:10
should really put points on for Cardiff.
32:13
I think there's more pressure on them to
32:16
to win it, but they are obviously
32:18
backto-back games. So, and the first
32:20
game is the cheaters, so it's going to
32:22
be a tough ask for them. Um, but yeah,
32:25
that's the sort of game where I'm like,
32:27
am I enough? And I'm like, that is going
32:29
to be it's going to be entertainment.
32:32
But yeah, we're obviously all rooting
32:35
for the Royals, hoping to come back with
32:39
two more wins, move up that table,
32:41
>> both combined one and the and the north
32:44
south one when that gets done. But yeah,
32:48
maybe Newcastle could get a win against
32:52
the Bears. Maybe it if they're going
32:55
back to back on games, it
32:57
>> could fall in the favor. But
32:59
>> no, it'll be a it'll be an interesting
33:01
weekend.
33:03
>> Yeah, I think for me in terms of nines
33:07
that Birmingham solid match sticking out
33:10
mainly because you know that is the
33:12
final of last year's women's brick ball
33:14
like it is first and second and nines
33:17
last year going against each other. You
33:19
know, you've got Solent who are
33:21
unfortunately down that QB. They they've
33:24
had a couple players leave. Couple key
33:26
players, you know, have to leave cuz
33:29
they're having children. Big up big up
33:31
Steph who's having her baby.
33:34
>> Um, but you know, it's it's definitely
33:37
one match that I'm excited to kind of
33:39
see the result of this weekend. Terms of
33:42
the Sevens, you know, that Chester
33:43
match, my body's not looking forward to
33:46
it. And I know for a fact that I'm going
33:47
to Yeah, especially as it's the second
33:50
game, I just know I'm going to be first
33:52
by the end of it.
33:56
>> We move it. It builds character and
33:58
that's all that matters. Um, on terms of
34:01
the South, I mean, Hartford Cheetah
34:04
against Kent. That one ended in a tie
34:07
last time the last tournament. So it
34:10
definitely be kind of interesting to see
34:12
you know they are fighting for first and
34:14
second at the moment and they kind of if
34:16
we were to split it in the south both
34:19
are very strong programs both are from
34:22
well established programs you know they
34:23
have their unders teams they have their
34:25
mixed adult teams they have the
34:27
knowledge and experience there and the
34:29
club backing there so it's definitely
34:31
kind of interesting to see how it's
34:33
going to go if it's going to end up in
34:35
another tie or if we're actually going
34:36
to see one of them be able to
34:39
But yeah, it's it's looking like a fun
34:42
fun Saturday for um you know the Prem
34:45
and Sevens. Um definitely a lot of
34:47
football. So if anyone is about in any
34:50
of these areas, so I believe it'll be
34:52
Birmingham. I can't remember Birmingham
34:54
play but you know you got Birmingham,
34:55
Manchester, Hertfordshire and Newcastle.
34:58
If you're about any of those areas and
35:00
want to kind of watch any football, come
35:03
down and support us. Doesn't matter if
35:04
you understand,
35:06
just come for the vibes. You know,
35:09
matches are fun, fun environments, and
35:10
it's always good to kind of see people
35:12
fall. So, if you're near any of these
35:13
areas, come down, come watch, come
35:16
support all of us. Yeah. Um, so, moving
35:20
on to another fixture that's happening
35:22
next Saturday. Now, I believe this is
35:26
potentially the first Associates fixture
35:29
we've had in a couple of seasons. I
35:32
could be wrong, but I don't recall one
35:34
being played last year. Um, so we have
35:38
the Rosendale Raptors versus the
35:40
Leicester Panther Women's. Now, this
35:43
game is for both teams, I believe, to be
35:46
able to qualify for sevens next year to
35:48
come out of Associates and to come into
35:50
the main BFA league. Um, hopefully this
35:53
sets them up right. Um, you know, we
35:56
talked big on both Rosundelle Bucks on
35:58
the Monday night huddle and Rosenddale
36:00
Raptors on her huddle. You know, these
36:02
are two new teams that are entering in
36:04
BAFA and we are excited to kind of
36:07
support them. You know, we've had um
36:09
some of the team from Raptors on talking
36:11
about the club and how they wanted to
36:14
create this new team and new environment
36:16
around the Manchester area. Um so yeah,
36:20
how you guys feeling Jess? How are you
36:22
feeling? This is your team, your moment,
36:24
your match this season. How you how you
36:27
feeling about it?
36:28
>> Oh, I'm nervous for it. I'm not going to
36:30
lie. I'm I'm a nervous excited. Um it's
36:34
huge. The girls, they've all worked so
36:37
hard to get to this moment. The girls,
36:39
the coaches, everyone involved has
36:41
worked so hard. And shout out to the
36:43
books as well because they've been
36:45
nothing but supportive in, you know,
36:47
letting us train with their facilities
36:49
and, you know, just being so generous to
36:53
the Raptors. But yeah, I'm really
36:55
looking forward to it next weekend. It's
36:56
going to be a it's going to be a great
36:58
day. Hopefully the weather stays nice as
37:00
well. Um, so we have a nice pitch and
37:04
yeah, I'm really looking forward to it.
37:06
Home match as well as
37:08
>> Oh, that's so good. So, are you playing
37:11
four quarters, two halves? How how how's
37:14
the layup? Because normally it would be
37:16
played in a tournament style. So, how
37:18
are you guys kind of operating it? Do
37:20
you know?
37:21
>> Um,
37:22
not going to lie, I'm not sure off the
37:24
top of my head. We've been away. I've
37:26
not really I've been away for three
37:27
weeks, so I'm not playing next week. I'm
37:29
just going to be there cheering on the
37:32
girls. Um, so I'm not too sure. I'll
37:34
probably find out more tomorrow night.
37:37
Um, but
37:39
yeah, it's going to be it's going to be
37:41
an interesting game because, you know,
37:43
we've got women who've, you know, played
37:45
football for a few years now, who've
37:47
been GB. We've also got people who have
37:50
never touched a football before they
37:52
came to a training session. Um, so it's
37:55
a real mix of experience, but it's such
37:57
a family dynamic at the Raptors. And
38:01
I think whatever the result is of the
38:03
game, I think everyone will just be so
38:06
proud of how far that the Raps have come
38:10
in, you know, not even 12 months.
38:15
>> Yeah, I was going to say these are still
38:17
a really really new team whereas I know
38:19
Leicester Panther Women's they've been
38:20
about for a while. They have been I'm
38:23
correct me if I'm wrong, they have been
38:24
in the Baffa leagues before. pretty sure
38:26
they have been in the sevens league and
38:28
I believe they've had to self-relegate
38:31
back out. I could be completely wrong,
38:33
but you know they have been a team that
38:35
have been existing for a while. So, it's
38:37
good to see that, you know, they finally
38:40
have someone that they're able to kind
38:43
of break from this associate status
38:45
with. Unfortunately, we've lost, you
38:47
know, the Nor Devils, um, Le Chargers,
38:51
Calona Chaos. We've lost some of these
38:53
teams that were at that associate level.
38:55
Some of them have come up, some of them
38:56
have come down, some of them have
38:58
completely come out of existence. It's
39:01
it's nice to see, you know, that there
39:02
is two teams that are willing to work
39:04
with each other to push into sevens and
39:07
give us that more variety in sevens. I
39:09
mean, there's only six of us at the
39:11
moment, five and nine. So, it's good to
39:14
see these two teams fighting to, you
39:17
know, say to BAFA, we're here. We want
39:19
to be a part of your league. But yeah, I
39:22
mean I've got to say I am going to back
39:24
the Rosenddale Raptors, you know. Yeah,
39:28
>> I'm excited to kind of see what you guys
39:29
do, especially as a newly established
39:31
team. Um Lester Panthers, you know, they
39:34
have been around for a while. They have
39:36
had that player retention. They've had
39:37
years to build where you guys have had,
39:39
as you said, less than 12 months to
39:41
build a team. So, I'm really kind of
39:43
excited to see what you guys are going
39:45
to do. From clips I've seen online, even
39:48
like your guys' Tik Tok as well. I'm
39:50
loving it at the moment.
39:51
>> Social queens.
39:53
>> Shout out to Jess. She's
39:56
>> definitely a social media queen. But
39:58
yeah, I'm I'm excited to kind of see
40:00
what goes on. I know that a lot of the,
40:03
you know, um, Monday Night Huddle guys,
40:06
most of the guys that are associated
40:07
with TDUK will be back in the Raptors as
40:09
well. Sorry, Lester. We do love you and
40:12
we appreciate you, but you know, we are
40:14
we're big Raptor fans here.
40:16
>> We are indeed.
40:18
Dev, have you got any kind of thoughts
40:20
on this or are you kind of the same
40:22
opinion, you know?
40:24
>> Yeah, it it's it's weird because my
40:27
experience in football was actually um
40:29
quite limited. So, I didn't really know
40:30
like anything about Associates. Um when
40:33
I started playing, it was the year that
40:35
the nines league was developed and I
40:37
just went kind of straight into that.
40:39
The only other team I knew about was
40:40
cheaters because I had like that
40:41
experience being at um Hearts Hurricanes
40:44
um with the uni team. So, um, it's
40:47
really amazing to see like there there
40:50
this even exists and that there is that
40:52
potential for more teams to be moving up
40:54
through the leagues. I think it's good
40:55
for for women's ball. Um, and just
40:59
ensuring that like we're getting more
41:01
more people in, more numbers, more
41:03
athletes, more games played, and that
41:05
just helps with the exposure as well.
41:06
And also just with the competition, like
41:08
it gets a bit boring playing the same
41:10
people over and over again. Um, so yeah,
41:12
getting getting some fresh faces in,
41:14
fresh teams. Um, it's really exciting
41:17
and yeah, Raptors all the way. For sure.
41:19
For sure. And it's exciting, man. I'm
41:22
excited. Happy for you guys. So, what
41:25
happens then? Is it like no matter who
41:27
wins, like everybody will be able to go
41:29
up? This happens. Or is it just be one
41:31
of them?
41:33
>> I believe so. Now, I can't remember. I
41:36
know it used to be that you had to host
41:38
a home tournament or like host a home
41:40
match and then play in an away match. I
41:44
also might be confusing that with the
41:45
Bucks off a like affiliation status as
41:48
well cuz the Bucks one is very similar
41:50
to Baffas. Um I could be wrong. I might
41:54
be right. Normally if we were live we
41:56
would have one of the refs or someone
41:59
that watches telling me about
42:00
>> give us some info. normally that
42:03
normally that's what happens is normally
42:05
normally one of the cheaters um head
42:07
coaches that I've had a couple times
42:08
tell me I believe I have been told how
42:11
it operates but I can't actually
42:12
remember I'm pretty sure it is if it's
42:15
not one match it'll be a home match
42:17
underway match and then they both will
42:19
have that um kind of stamp from BAFA
42:21
saying you guys have showed that you can
42:24
play in a match and turn up to two
42:25
matches you can apply for that status to
42:28
be in sevens um I do like how sevens and
42:31
nines is not um promotion relegation.
42:36
It's based on if the club wants to do it
42:38
or if like they pass health checks. Like
42:40
I kind of like how that's it's not
42:43
cutthroat like you did not win this
42:46
season so you're going to drop to sevens
42:47
because obviously it changes pitch
42:49
players.
42:50
>> It's a massive change. Um
42:52
>> even length of matches changes
42:54
completely as well. You then add the
42:56
special teams unit onto a nines team.
42:58
Like I'm kind of glad that ours does not
43:01
like the women's league doesn't operate
43:03
like the mixed adult.
43:05
>> Um yeah, I mean I think I believe
43:08
someone told me it is a year at
43:10
Associates, a year at sevens and then
43:12
they could apply to nines if they so
43:15
wish.
43:16
>> Okay,
43:17
>> I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure
43:18
that's what Chaos did. I think they
43:20
played a year at sevens and then were
43:22
able to apply to nines cuz chaos were in
43:24
nines with us last season. It was both
43:26
of us were meant to join the nines for
43:29
um the 2025 season. Both of us failed
43:32
the health check. So both of us dropped
43:34
to seven
43:35
>> and then chaos then further failed the
43:37
sevens failed um a health check.
43:39
>> So dropped so dropped to associates
43:41
which was I think they dropped right
43:43
before the season started. So then Baffa
43:45
then couldn't fix any of the matches.
43:48
Whereas with the nines, they were lucky
43:50
that because the nines cut off dates
43:52
late earlier on in the year than the
43:54
seven's cut off date,
43:55
>> they were able to readjust everyone's
43:57
fixtures
43:58
>> because originally they had us
44:00
>> nines last year. They originally had us
44:02
north and south.
44:04
>> Yeah. So it was
44:06
>> I think it was Royals, Warriors,
44:11
Birmingham Lions, and Solent Thrashers
44:14
all in one tier.
44:17
>> When I seen that, my heart went, damn, I
44:22
was like I was like Lions and Warriors
44:24
in the same tier. It would have been
44:27
interesting because the whole all the
44:29
finals would have been different. But
44:31
yeah, and then your north your north
44:32
teams would have been Manchester,
44:35
>> T-side,
44:37
Chaos.
44:39
>> I missed one.
44:41
>> It was definitely four and four.
44:44
>> Oh no.
44:45
>> Silent already.
44:47
>> Yeah, Solent Solent Warriors, Birmingham
44:49
and Royals were in the south and then
44:51
the north was Manchester
44:54
T-side.
44:59
No, Ros. Rober
45:03
still.
45:05
>> No, it might I might just be making
45:07
stuff up, but I'm pretty sure I
45:09
distinctly remember having seeing
45:11
Warriors and seeing Birmingham and being
45:13
like crap. Like that is that is a hard
45:17
season. It it'll probably eventually
45:19
come to me who that missing team was
45:22
unless it was a four and a three.
45:25
>> But yeah. Um, so yeah, I think what's
45:28
also worth mentioning is that um, this
45:31
is obviously hopefully this goes out at
45:33
the right time. Um, the Rosendale
45:36
Raptors are also doing a fundraiser for
45:38
Holly. So if people aren't aware, Holly
45:40
is a current player with the Manchester
45:42
Titans who has unfortunately been
45:44
recently diagnosed with um, cancer. So a
45:47
lot of the teams in our WNFL, so both
45:50
Sevens Associates and Nines are doing
45:53
all they can to help Holly. She is one
45:55
of our players that's been heavily
45:58
involved with the league, knows
45:59
everyone, is a fantastic player. So
46:02
yeah, if you guys want to um you know
46:05
either purchase any tickets or you have
46:08
items to potentially donate if you're
46:10
like a big company that wants to donate
46:12
anything, I know I think EP Sport is is
46:15
putting stuff forward. I know there's a
46:16
play pair of cleats that could be one
46:18
one. Obviously, you guys have got your
46:21
um bar sponsor as well that's helping
46:23
out. If anyone has anything they want to
46:25
donate or if they want to donate money,
46:27
um reach out to, you know, the Rosendale
46:29
Raptors. Those girls are more than happy
46:31
to accept any donations in terms of
46:34
stuff that you want to donate or if you
46:36
want to buy any tickets, reach out to
46:38
them and they will be more than happy to
46:40
help. But yeah, um I think what's also
46:43
worth mentioning is I'll go back to
46:47
I think Um, we are looking to kind of do
46:51
an end of end of season kind of
46:55
spotlight on players. So, a bit like how
46:58
BAFA have been doing the um player of
47:01
the month stuff um where you can win
47:03
tickets to the Union Jack Classic in
47:05
September. We're obviously not going to
47:06
do that because we can barely afford to
47:08
go by ourselves and I think Mattail
47:10
would kill us if we turned around and
47:11
said, "Oh yeah, we're told people buy
47:13
tickets to like
47:14
>> the NFL UK matches or the Union Jack
47:17
Classic ones." I think he would kill us.
47:19
Um, but we're looking to kind of do an
47:23
offensive and defensive MVP of each kind
47:27
of
47:29
I was going to say tier, but like each
47:31
like the nines and the sevens. So having
47:34
an offensive and defensive player from
47:36
Simmons League and an offensive
47:38
defensive player from the Nines's league
47:40
just that you know we want to celebrate
47:42
what women do. Um obviously with the
47:45
BAFA one it's everyone. It's flag. It's
47:49
the under teams. It's the women's. It's
47:51
the mixed adult. We wanna, you know, sh
47:55
showcase women in our teams, our sport,
47:59
and kind of give them that platform and
48:01
that visibility that, you know, some of
48:02
the big companies unfortunately don't
48:04
see because there's just so many of us
48:06
that they can't do it all. Um, so if
48:09
that's something that, you know,
48:11
everyone would want to see, we'd be more
48:13
than happy to take any submission from
48:15
any club. If you want to get in contact
48:17
with um TDUK with any submission, you
48:21
know, we might be we'll probably be
48:22
putting out a graphic about it in a
48:24
couple weeks time,
48:26
any anyone that you feel is fit. Now, we
48:29
probably could do a special teams MVP as
48:32
well for nines. I know you guys do
48:34
specials. We unfortunately don't at
48:36
Svens.
48:36
>> Yeah.
48:37
>> But definitely an offensive defensive
48:39
MVP.
48:40
someone who you feel this season has
48:42
kind of gone above and beyond can be,
48:44
you know, our own TDUK
48:47
player of the season, offensive player
48:50
of the season, defensive. We're more
48:52
than happy to see who people want to
48:55
pick. As I say, we will eventually
48:57
figure out how we're going to do it
48:58
logistically, but yeah, we want to hear
49:00
from you, who you guys think. Um, and
49:04
yeah, so I believe that is everything.
49:06
anyone anything else to say or
49:10
chill?
49:11
>> No, I think that's everything. Good luck
49:13
to everyone um this weekend and yeah.
49:17
>> Yeah.
49:19
>> Yeah, I think that kind of
49:21
>> sums sums everything up. Um you know,
49:24
excited to kind of see how everyone does
49:26
next weekend. Keep us posted with
49:28
scores. You know, we love to be kind of
49:30
the first ones out there with the
49:32
scores. Um, I know obviously I'll be
49:34
keeping Matteo updated with the
49:35
tournament scores from Newcastle, but
49:38
any scores, please send us some. Any
49:41
clips as well. I know we've shared um I
49:44
believe my my touchdown run from the
49:46
Royals tournament. I believe there was
49:48
also a Cheshure one that was shared a
49:50
couple weeks ago. I think one of the
49:52
Cheshure Newcastle games. I could be
49:54
completely wrong. But yeah, if there's
49:56
any any clips anyone wants to send, you
49:59
know, at this point in the season, guys,
50:00
everyone's seen everyone's plays.
50:02
>> Everyone knows what everyone runs.
50:04
>> There's footage on everything, guys. You
50:05
have all got VO footage, camera footage,
50:09
you know, send us the clips. We want to
50:11
recognize the women in our game and how
50:14
strong we are. You know, it's we deserve
50:16
the platform, guys. So, please send us
50:18
all your clips. Um, tag us, tag us in
50:21
game day pictures, everything. We will
50:23
reshare them. We will try and get our
50:25
best to get people to your matches. But
50:27
yeah, so thank you so much for watching,
50:29
guys. Um, we will hopefully see you in
50:30
the next episode. Don't know when that
50:33
