The Reading Kites women’s team at Reading Rugby Club have a new mother and daughter partnership in the heart of their side.
Debbie Cornish, who has been playing for Reading since 2008, has formed a special sporting bond with her daughter Mia, 18, playing for the same rugby team.
Mia was a football fanatic throughout her teenage years, despite going with her Dad to watch her Mum at rugby training and matches.
However, after lockdown Mia decided that she was ready to take up a new challenge and began training for the Kites alongside her mum.
The pair have played two matches together so far, the first of which they won in a friendly against Rams Sirens on Sunday, September 5 with a 25-5 triumph.
They then both played against Windsor Dames the following weekend as Mia nailed three conversions in a 58-12 victory.
