A Triumphant Moment in Women's Rugby History: Newport Ladies' 22-0 Victory Over Cardiff Ladies (1917) This evocative photograph captures the elated Newport Ladies rugby team celebrating their hard-fought 22-0 victory over their rivals, Cardiff Ladies, in 1917. The image is a testament to the growing popularity and passion for women's rugby football during the early 1900s. The women's rugby scene in Wales was thriving in the 1910s, with numerous teams forming across the country. The Newport Ladies team, composed of dedicated and skilled players, had built a reputation as a formidable force in the sport. Their match against Cardiff Ladies, a much-anticipated local derby, promised to be an exciting contest. The game, played under the watchful eyes of a large crowd, saw Newport Ladies dominating from the start. Their superior teamwork, agility, and determination paid off as they scored try after try, leaving Cardiff Ladies struggling to keep up. By the final whistle, Newport Ladies had secured a well-deserved 22-0 victory. The triumphant team, seen here in the photograph, is a picture of pure joy and pride. Their jubilant expressions and raised arms symbolize the spirit of camaraderie and achievement that defined women's rugby during this era. The victory marked a significant milestone in the history of women's rugby in Wales and served as a source of inspiration for future generations of players. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the rich history of women's rugby football and the determination, passion, and teamwork that have always been at its core.
