THE Scottish Government has announced it is allocating £144,352 to help Scotland Women prepare for the Rugby World Cup later this year and to promote the women’s and girls’ game across the country in the build-up to the tournament.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for the players to compete at the highest level and to showcase elite women’s sport," Maree Todd, the minister for public health, women's health and sport, said yesterday. “I am immensely proud of what the team have achieved so far and am delighted that we are able to support them financially to represent Scotland at the top level. The players have made huge commitments and sacrifices and I look forward to watching and supporting them later this year.”
