Earlsdon Womens team decided to support the MacMillan Miles Challenge event by pushing a scrummage machine for a mile.

They were checked by Committee men Jim Lorimer and Martin Murphy it was decided that the girls should do 15+ lengths of a rugby pitch , pushing a scrummage sledge. They started in teams of 3 increasing to 4s and 5s as fatigue kicked in but they completed the required distance the and encouragement of supporters carried them through. The girls were all sponsored and they should raise nearly £1000 for MacMillan Nurses
