Women's

Welcome to RugbyWA Women's Rugby Union

The Western Australian Women’s Rugby Union (RugbyWA Women's) was incorporated in 1995, and since then have had a number of clubs compete in the competition.  In 2009 we had six clubs in the competition:  Cottesloe, Kalamunda, Midland, Perth Bayswater, University and Wanneroo.

RugbyWA Women’s Rugby Union has enjoyed a successful representative history and presently have eight WA players in the Women's Australian (Wallaroo’s) Representative Training Program, they are; Debby Hodgkinson, Shelley Matchman, Kate Stoney, Rebecca Clough, Oneata Schwalger and Casey Kay of Cottesloe and Stacey Kilmister of Perth Bayswater. 

Debby and Shelley both competed at the IRB World Cup 7's Tournament in Dubai earlier this year and Debby came home as the Player of the Tournament. 

In August 2009  Rebecca Clough, Stacey Kilmister and Debby Hodgkinson travelled to Samoa to compet in the Oceania World Cup Qualifing match.  The Paper to Paper Wallaroos won the match with ease 86 - 0.

Our very own Debby Hodgkinson has had an outstanding season in 2009, gaining top honours not only nationaly but internationaly.  Debby was awarded the 2009 ARU Women's Player of the Year and the ARU Sevens Player of the Year in October at the John Eales Medal Awards.  She also received the IRB Personality of the Year Award in 2009.  Such a huge success for Debby personally, but also a great result for Women's Rugby in WA.

So what are you waiting for?
