Success for Ex-Student Abbie

Former Clyst Vale student Abbie Brown has won the Canadian leg of the HSBC World Series Rugby 7’s with the England Womens 7’s team. The competition, a week on from England’s third place finish at Atlanta, USA, was the latest round of Abbie’s progression and success on the World Rugby stage. Abbie has a full-time professional contract which runs this season, until the 2016 Rio Olympics, where she will compete for Team GB as the game makes its Olympic debut. This follows on from her rapid involvement with the Under 20 and Full-Cap honours in representing England in the Six Nations in 2015.
