Lacey made a great break and ran the field to
score his first try of the season .

Women’s
rugby website, www.scrumqueens.com, has unearthed
the earliest ever record of a female playing rugby
with the discovery of the memoirs of Ireland's Emily
Valentine, who played in 1887 while she was a student
at the Portora Royal School in Enniskillen.Emily's
story is remarkable because there are no other records
at all of any other female rugby players in the nineteenth
century and scant records anywhere of the history
of the women's game and where and who played it first.
