Harlequins Ladies host Saracens Women at The Twickenham Stoop

Twickenham Stoop,  Saturday, October 20th 3:00pm kick-off, £10 Adult, £5 Children

The Tyrell’s Premiership

The highly anticipated Harlequins Ladies fixture takes place at Twickenham Stoop. It is the first time the London rivals have played each other since last season’s first ever Tyrells Premier 15s final. Saracens Women narrowly beat Harlequins Ladies to secure the inaugural Premier 15s title.  The game will showcase the very best European women’s club rugby has to offer.

This is a fantastic experience for the whole family. There is kids’ face painting and half-time activities with Tyrells on offer, and Emily the Mascot.

Last season, Harlequins Ladies set a record attendance for a women’s club rugby match when 4,542 supporters watched them play Richmond FC at The Stoop.

Following that success, Harlequins Ladies will play at least four matches at the Twickenham Stoop this season, with Harlequins committed to bringing more women’s rugby matches to the home of the men’s team.
