With representatives of Thurrock RFC making a presentation to the RFU this coming Wednesday as part of our application to be part of the ALL NEW Women's Premiership competition, this fixture is a chance to show that we could be at least competitive against a top level side. (albeit, without their internationals).
Following a solid first half against Top of the Premiership Bristol, the T-Birds hope to better that performance for the whole 80 minutes.
