Aberystwyth University Women's Rugby
Meet Our Old Girls
![]() Saskia WilsonDegree: Veterinary Biosciences Position: Second Row I only started playing rugby when I started Uni here. My family, wanting to try something new and wanting to join a team in Aber is what inspired me to join AUWR and it's the best decision I've made. | ![]() Ceala PowellNickname: Tequila/TourCeala Degree: Al & Robotics Position: Tight and Loose Head I started playing Rugby when I was 16, I saw my friend play and thought it looked like great fun so I decide to give it a try and I have never looked back. Once I started Uni I knew I had to continue playing rugby and being part of AUWR has felt more like being part of a family then just a team. |

![]() Rachel Lee | ![]() Joely JeremiahNickname: JJ Degree: Animal Behaviour Position: Wing I love all sport and tried a few when I started Uni. Rugby stood out to me the most, due to the excitement and physicality of the game. The Rugby family welcomed me in and from there on I had my new sport |
![]() Sophie BransbyNickname: Terry Degree: Biochemistry (Graduated 2018) Position: Full Back I joined rugby as a bit of fun during Freshers, having never really played before. But it's the best decision I've made at university and I haven't looked | ![]() Alaw GwynGraduated: BA-2014 & MA-2016 Degree: BA in Drama and Education & MA in Creative Media Position: Number 8 Currently: Studying a PhD in youth theatre and mental health issues and still interested in rugby but finding time to play is hard at the moment. I also help coach the under 7’s local rugby team at Aber Town RFC when I can as I really enjoy it. |
![]() Amy HubbuckGraduated: 2016 Degree: Childhood Studies Position: Second row (when I actually played...) or pitch side! Currently: Studying a masters in psychology at Leeds. Joined AUWR to do something in uni other than work and it was the best decision and family you could ask for ❤ | ![]() Alex LeedsGraduated: 2017 Degree: Zoology Position: Fly Half Currently Doing: Still playing rugby but not a lot other than that - I'm calling it a 'gap year'. Started Rugby because my parents wanted me out of the house so they could enjoy a peaceful Sunday. And because i liked watching it on TV and all my friends played |
![]() Atlanta SwannackNicknames: Swancock, Swanschlong or anything that tickles your fancy Graduated: 2017 Degree: Film and Television Studies Position: Prop Currently Doing: Video Editor at Like An Egg Productions (Check them out we make cool stuff ;)) I started as a way of keeping fit and making friends. I was also starting to become a black sheep of the family for not being a rugby player haha. It's still the best decision I've ever made and I always kick myself for not joining sooner! | ![]() Sally ReayGraduated: 2017 Degree: Zoology Position: Second Row Joined rugby because I wanted to take up a new sport and a friend played. Best decision ever! |
