Rosie Dobson (19) is a Harlequins hooker and England Under 20 player who started playing rugby at the club when she was 13.

She returned to the club on June 6 to chat with current players and give out awards to those who have excelled in the disrupted season. 

Rosie said: “It was great to go back to Tunbridge Wells RFC to give something back to a club which has given me so much. 

“Without Simon Parsons [Director of the club’s ladies team] setting up a girl’s rugby side I would never have even known girl’s rugby existed. 

“By going back I hope to help raise the profile of girls’ and women’s rugby and to inspire young girls to follow their dreams on and off the rugby pitch.”
