We've not died horrible deaths. The last few months have been a challenge, it's fair to say.

Worry not, 2024 will see us resurrect and bring you more pod love!

On a serious note, we're really sorry for the lack of content, and lack of social media.

Individually we've had a number of challenges.

2 episodes are in the can for editing already so watch this space.

Here's a very special episode recorded LIVE at the GrassRoots Festival at Avonmouth Claires Ladies also with Dursley Ladies RFC

In this panel discussion featuring Rocky Clark, Jemma Norton, Fiona Brunt, Halbro Sportswear Ambassador Kathryn Buggy, hosted by Mollie we discuss all things grassroots.

We're so proud of this. From talking rubbish in our bedrooms on zencastr to sharing a stage with legends of the game.

Recording of this session will be out tomorrow and it's a brilliant listen.

For those of you who fancied the Festival but were not sure what to expect, this should demonstrate why it is really worth it!

Well the 2nd GrassRoots - Women's Rugby from the Roots Up has been and gone.

Wow. What an epic welcome from Avonmouth Claires Ladies

What courage and grit from Dursley Ladies RFC who formed a team with the Nomads.

What quality rugby on display.

What an amazing ref team with Holly Feller, Eleanor, Fiona and Rebecca marshaling the mayhem.

What an amazing, inspiring, interesting and thought provoking discussion with Fiona Brunt, Jemma Norton, the incredible Rocky Clark and the funny, open and honest Kathryn Buggy.

What amazing support from Halbro Sportswear , friends, colleagues and listeners for enabling the festival to happen.

And what a bloody party!

We're all exhausted but inspired by the whole thing. It'll take a while to wade through the pictures but here's a taster!

Here's Episode 13.....the in-person one.

In this off-season episode, we attempt, with varying degrees of success to do an in-person recording. This was harder than we initially thought, so please bear with us as we figure out the sound quality when we’re all together!

We welcome Fudge from the fantastic Shrewsbury Rugby ladies, Jody updates us on her latest injury, we discuss changing captains and pre-season.

We also announce our new project – making and producing a GrassRoots Women’s Rugby Documentary. If you would like to take part, please get in touch!

Goose introduces draft one of the GrassRoots Nomads’ Team and we eat a lot of crisps.

We hope you enjoy the episode.
