Now, let’s get to know the player behind the shirt…

🔥 MEET CLARE

🏉 Position: Open side flanker
💼 Occupation: Pharmacist
🏟️ Favourite rugby memory: When I finally got a chance to play flanker (after asking every week) and getting player of the match and being told to stay there! (I always knew! 😂)
🎸 Pre-match song: The Game by Motörhead
🍽️ Post-match treat: A family sized dairy milk 🍫
⭐ Favourite professional player: Darcy Graham. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
🧠 Hidden talent: I can tell you what travel sickness tablets to take on the bus trips 😂 and bend my elbows back the wrong way. 👀
❤️ Why Irvine RFC? I love Irvine RFC because of the people. Rugby brought me to the club, but the friendships, and sense of belonging are what keep me here.
Not only do I love playing alongside my amazing team mates on our women’s squad, but I’m always made to feel welcome when helping out with first aid at a men’s game or coaching the juniors at rugby camps! There’s something really special about being part of a club where people genuinely care about each other, both on and off the pitch. I’m incredibly proud to wear the Irvine shirt and to play a small part in making the club a place where everyone feels supported and valued. 💙 🩷

And finally, a message from Clare to her sponsor:

“I can’t thank Alliance Ambulance Services enough for sponsoring me again this year.
Luckily I’ve never needed an ambulance😂, but as a player who’s had a fair share of injuries, it means a lot to be sponsored by an organisation who’s truly committed to the care, safety and wellbeing of the patients they look after, just as we are committed to the care, safety and wellbeing of our players and supporters at Irvine RFC!
Your sponsorship really does go a long way in helping the continued growth of grassroots rugby at our club. I am truly thankful and look forward to representing you this season! 🤗”

A huge thank you to Alliance Ambulance Services for backing Clare for the season ahead. We’re delighted to have you as part of the Irvine RFC family. 🔴🔵

Good luck for the season, Clare! 💪

✨ Kind of chic to back women in rugby. 🏉

Behind every player is dedication, determination, early mornings, tough sessions, big tackles and plenty of passion for the game.

At Irvine Rugby Football Club, we celebrate the women who pull on the jersey — and the businesses who choose to stand behind them.

Because supporting women’s rugby isn’t just good for the game.

It’s kind of chic. 🤍
