The Lionesses made the trip up the A1 to Stamford to be met with bright breezy conditions but a firm yet somewhat sloping surface. This was a much-improved performance from the Lionesses with another two Ladies playing their first ever game of rugby: Sophie Roberts producing a player of the match performance in her first ever senior game!

Ampthill Lionesses welcomed Milton Keynes to Dillingham Park for their first home game of the season on a dry, cloudy afternoon but with conditions perfect for running rugby.

On a good day for rugby the Ampthill Lionesses travelled to Rushden & Higham Ladies for a non-league match, their first in nearly 2 years. With 8 players on the Ampthill side making their debut for the team, 2 playing their first ever game of rugby as an adult and 4 that had never played an actual match at all the ladies acquitted themselves far better than the score might suggest.

On a good day for rugby the Ampthill Lionesses travelled to 3rd place Welwyn Ladies. With a number of injuries the Lionesses had players out of position and 2 debutants Lorraine Claxton and Rachel Board but all 18 girls acquitted them selves superbly well.

Stop the press…….Ampthill Ladies have won their first game!! Everyone involved in the squad knew this day was coming and on the weekend of Brexit, England losing to France and Ampthill's 1st XV taking a bonus point away at Newcastle Falcons, the ladies emulated the lot with this performance where nearly everything clicked.
