ENFIELD:<\/strong> The Enfield Rugby Football Club Women\u2019s Division II squad has once again proven they\u2019re a force to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the third straight year, the women have captured the Division 2 title. It\u2019s also the fifth title in club history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes this year\u2019s title even more remarkable is how it began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early in the season, the team faced uncertainty, often taking the field for practices and even games with fewer than a full roster and unsure if they\u2019d be able to field a consistent lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balancing injuries, work schedules, and player availability, there were moments when the future of the season looked shaky at best. <\/p>\n\n\n

New players stepped up, veterans dug deep, and the squad\u2019s commitment to one another turned the tide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The women\u2019s team hit the pitch with the drive they needed to secure the victory that came on Aug. 9 on their home field at the Enfield Lions Den.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The home side delivered a dominant performance against the Dartmouth Pig Dogs, finishing the game with a final score of 88\u201314.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Player of the Game, Julianna Sparks put in a standout performance, showcasing speed, tackles, and even putting two tries on the score board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her efforts, along with a strong collective showing from the entire roster, sealed Enfield\u2019s place at the top of the division yet again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With five championships now in their history, the drive to next season is already being talked about.<\/p>\n\n\n
