The ladies were caught on camera posing in just their club socks and boots, with jump rugby paraphernalia hiding their modesty. The pictures released for this year’s calendar are taken at the secluded grounds of the Hertfordshire club and capture the girls training.
Organiser and inside centre Claire Crompton, 28, said: "We were never expecting the success we got last year but it’ll be nice if it happens again. We want to build on our success and we had a recruitment boost due to it as well. Even if people look at it and don’t want to play rugby it gets the brand out there. Someone else might see it too if it's hanging up and see if they want to get involved with the sport. Our club is a lot of fun and we like to play good rugby - hopefully people looking at the calendar will see that we like to have fun."
The event worker from Stevenage added: "We were looking to fund a charity as well this year and we heard on the radio that Team GB wheelchair rugby lost it’s funding and I thought it was wrong. Rugby is rugby to us, it’s important to get the message out there and raise cash. I hope people get a calendar as it is for a really good cause and if they liked last years they’ll love this years."
