This is Episode 18 of GrassRoots –Women's Rugby from the roots up.

As the end of the first full season during covid approaches an exciting crescendo, we discuss the emotional rollercoaster of promotion and relegation; what it means, how to navigate it and how it is not always the best, or the worst thing to happen to your team.

We change codes to meet the brilliant Rachel Ankomah, Manager and player for the Accra Majestics Rugby League Team in Ghana, hear all about the sport in West Africa and discuss strange injuries.

We continue our series of how to build a team, focusing on recruitment, and hear from an actual ref, Fiona Brunt who clarifies (!) some of the technical questions around tackling your own player.

ChezSez visits a Yorkshire Dogging spot, Joyce pretends to retire and we discuss strange injuries.
