📢 Exciting updates in the world of Welsh rugby and beyond! 🚨
The Welsh Rugby Union has announced that Belinda Moore, Head of Women’s and Girls Rugby, will be stepping down next month. Having joined last January, Moore has played a pivotal role in shaping the future of women’s rugby in Wales. Her tenure was initially aligned with the Women’s Rugby World Cup but was extended to include the Women’s Six Nations campaign. Despite a challenging year for the Welsh team, which saw them finish bottom of the Six Nations and exit the World Cup early, Moore’s efforts have paved the way for future success. 🌟
Moore’s new adventure? She’s taking on a tremendous new role with the England and Wales Cricket Board as The Hundred’s Growth Director, bringing her leadership and vision to the cricket world! 🏏
During her time, she pushed forward initiatives to enhance the women’s game, notably the Celtic Challenge, where Gwalia Lightning shone this season. Her impact will continue as she wraps up contract discussions with the professional squad and helps appoint her successor.
Moore reflected on her journey, acknowledging the significant progress made and the bright future ahead: “We’re thrilled to have seen record crowds and a growing expectation that our national team plays at the world-renowned Principality Stadium.” 🏉
CEO Abi Tierney lauded Moore’s contributions, highlighting the rapid growth of the women’s game and the importance of establishing a lasting leadership structure to ensure continued success. 👏
Stay tuned to see who steps into this crucial role next and to follow Belinda Moore’s exciting new chapter in the world of cricket! 🎉
