Star of the Month - July
July 5th, 2006
Star of the Month for July is Sudbury’s outgoing Captain and Fly Half April Brown, honoured recently by ECRU, along with 5 other young internationals from Eastern Counties. Pictured here with her personally inscribed ERCU plaque, April is an excellent example of how quickly one can progress to the upper reaches of the girls’ game, given the necessary determination and dedication.
Originally a soccer player, April was selected for the East Region U17 Team which won the national competition in 2005. Attendance at the RFUW Junior Performance Camp that summer led to trials and selection for the National U19 Squad. She played a key role as place kicker in the team’s historic tour to Canada in March of this year - see here and here .
