Ladies Wot Pod

We had to do it - this week’s pod is the classic LWP therapy pod after that disappointing trip to Welford Road. We talk about all the things we’ve been up to during the week with our trip to training. We do talk about the game where Claire does have a rant but not before she talks about meeting lots of people before the game. She also had a lovely visitor during half time too! But in the spirit of the therapy pod, we talk about all the other results this weekend including that cup final in West London ;-) And we have news from Towcester Under 9s and 12s and news of Mosborough Under 9s where Little George plays. We celebrate all the England call ups but are mystified by one glaring omission. A really busy pod so please do have a listen. Do subscribe, like or give us a rating for the pod - it really helps!
