The debate continues
) and hadn’t touched a rugby ball since.Q: What were the major factors that pushed you to join the team?
A: My primary motivation was to meet like-minded LGBT people who had an interest in sport – something I had struggled with previously. I’d also recently moved back to the area, so I wanted to increase my circle of friends.
Q: Since you’ve become a Viking, what’s been your favourite memory/memories so far?
A: Being able to represent the Vikings at the Principality is undoubtedly my favourite memory (and we picked up two wins!)
Q: Can you give 3 pieces of advice to anyone on the fence about joining the Vikings or their local inclusive team?
A: I had spent a couple of years deliberating on whether to join – a decision I regretted instantly when I went along to my first session last summer. So what I’d say to you is: 1) Any fears or worries about not fitting in will go immediately – push yourself to come along to one session, even if it’s just to watch/observe.
(2) There are no expectations regarding rugby ability. Everyone is welcome, and there’ll be no judgment from anyone. Everyone is incredibly supportive and it’s a really fun and positive environment to be around.
(3) You’ll make some amazing friends! Wednesday evenings are my favourite time of the week.
Training this week at 6:45, Upper Killay
