A WOMAN is representing her rugby team at Scotland’s national stadium.

Charlotte Lewis, 25, will play at Murrayfield stadium, in Edinburgh, this weekend.

Miss Lewis, who grew up in Richmond, North Yorkshire, and attended Richmond School, joined the Royal Navy in 2007 and is now based in Glasgow.

She will take to the pitch on Saturday with her team, Hillhead Jordanhill, for the match against home side Murrayfield Wanderers.

Miss Lewis said: “I’ve always been a very sporty person, and I played hockey all through school.

“But when I was 20, I got a bit bored and fancied a change, so I started playing rugby for the Darlington women’s side.

“I have played a lot of sports, but rugby has a certain something that I’ve never experienced with any other sport.

“It’s very competitive and yet everyone is such good friends, it really is so much fun.

“I’m thrilled to be playing at Murrayfield – it is a dream come true for me.”

Miss Lewis’ father, Simon, who lives in Scorton, North Yorkshire, said: “We are all incredibly proud of Charlotte, she’s done amazingly well.”
