Congratulations to our U18 Captain Lily Keeling and Vice Captain Esmee Talbolt, who have both been selected for the England U18 Player Development Group What an achievement for two of our own!

Lily and Esmee have shown incredible commitment, leadership and determination throughout their time with the Panthers, and we couldn’t be prouder to see them rewarded with this fantastic opportunity.

This is a massive moment for Lily and Esmee, and a brilliant achievement for everyone who has supported their journey along the way.

Congratulations, Lily & Esmee — go and smash it!

The whole Stafford family is behind you!

A message from our Women’s Director of Rugby, Ali Oxley:
“There are only two words I can think of to sum-up your achievements… ‘love that!!’

Top work on flying the Stafford flag, we are all super proud of your achievements.”
