Our team is one of the strongest teams in the Division, finishing 3rd in the League last year. She is undefeated in three years. There is also a former French Junior international and a French Cadet on the team. Natasha Williams from Wales also plays some matches when available. The League in France is taken very seriously and forms the main basis from which players get ranking points.
Matches are every other weekend.
Normally I leave for Paris on a Friday afternoon and am picked up at the Airport by someone from the Club and go for practice with the Team. On Saturday, we meet for lunch if it is a home match, otherwise we hire a Minibus and travel to the opposing team, which, when playing at National level, may involve a 7 hour drive. At home matches, there tends to be good atmosphere. As Evreux is quite small, a lot of local people will come to support us. Initially, I found this quite bizarre, as there are posters advertising matches around the Cafes and Bars in the Town.
