Hannah Mahood , Women's 1XV Rugby Captain
Glasgow Women’s Rugby has been a massive part of my uni experience - I've made amazing friendships with teammates who constantly support and push each other to improve and go after every win.
Our coaching team is outstanding, offering encouragement and guidance to players of all levels, whether you’ve played for years or are just starting out! We are all so excited for the new opportunities and challenges that our promotion to BUCS Premier North will bring for the 1XV.
