Sunday 1st September 2024 saw Clitheroe Valley Vixens take part in their first ever full contact game in a pre season friendly against Liverpool Collegiate, “The Bluebirds”.

Whilst the Bluebirds were strong in attack, the Vixens more than held their own in defence. The final score was 5-20 to the Bluebirds, with Kate Foley scoring for the Vixens.

Thanks has to go to the Bluebirds for playing the game in great spirit and Howard Lawrence for his explanatory refereeing.

The Vixens first game in NC3 NW will be on Sunday 15th September at Silcock Park against Huddersfield Old Laund.
