Ladies Team  
Rugby is fast, fun and physical. Most of the ladies who play for Southwold didn't know a flank forward from a fly half when they started. The ladies come from Halesworth, Lowestoft, Beccles, Wangford and some even from Southwold and Reydon. They range in age from 18 to 45 and come in every shape and size imaginable!
The Swallows were created in 1999/2000 as a way for women to keep fit without having to wear a leotard! Wednesday night training goes on throughout the year and off the pitch activity is as important as the rugby played on it. The Swallows are an integral part of the club represented on the committee and have indeed provided the club with it secretary and membership secretary over recent years. This season 2009/10 Southwold Swallows are in South East 3 with Deeping Devils, Peterborough, Fakenham, Chelmsford, Thames Toucanettes and Thurrock T birds II. So far the Swallows remain undefeated! and are hoping to continue their wins throughout the season. To away games we travel by bus and to afford to this we fund raise with our cake stall in Southwold Market Place twice a year. We also have a mad night in November raising money for Children in Need whilst raising our profile and the profits of many local landlords! This year we managed to raise £528.20p, Thank you very much for your support If you would like to join the Swallows for training, on the pitch or in the bar before you know it you will have learnt to ruck, maul and drink sambuca! Age or experience really are not an issue. A healthy interest in socialising is almost a pre-requisite though!
