Homegrown Heroes

Available for over a year

The World Cup winner shares how her rugby career began in the sticks, around the Welsh Borders. Tammy Gooding hears how Lark's journey began playing tag rugby at Orleton Primary School, whilst at Wigmore School she was able to spend Monday nights playing rugby at nearby Luctonians Rugby Club near Leominster. Lark adds how she was supported in her rugby career by Kingsland Primary School, where she taught. Staff still teaching say 'Miss Lark' had the best science lessons!
