The Upper Eden Eagles

CLOSER to home, meet the Eagles!

The Upper Eden Eagles are the Senior Ladies Rugby team of Upper Eden Rugby Club, based in Kirkby Stephen. Upper Eden Rugby Club had a ladies team some years ago, some of which went on to play at a higher level. The ladies team took a break for some years, until autumn 2018, when the Eagles were formed.

Early fixtures were with the team joining other Cumbrian based teams, to sharpen their skills on the field, a tactic which has paid dividends, as the Eagles have recorded victories in virtually every fixture, including their recent home debut at Pennine Park, Kirkby Stephen, where the Eagles recorded a 66-0 victory over Lancaster University.
