Introducing thorladies

The Thor Ladies have made an impact on rugby in the Netherlands since the 80s. With a fierce attitude on the pitch and the third half full of student fun, the Ladies bring a perfect mix of sport and “gezelligheid”. Rugby is an intense but social sport for big, small, fast or strong, everybody fits in. This open team welcomes new student ladies from all kinds!

This season we will join our strength with the ladies of SVRC(Virgiel) in the cluster Delftse Dames. With these new allies we will have a stronger team than ever before!

Sundays

Sunday is a rugby day! Each season we play about 18 games in the second division of the Dutch Rugby competition. Of course we'll have a great third half (often together with opposing team).

Competition

The Thorladies team has played for years in the top levels of the highest division and are still having the most national championships on their name. At this moment, the ladies play in the second division, but already staying strong in the top regions of the scoreboard for some seasons. Upcoming season will be joining forces again in a “Delftse Dames” clusterteam together with ladies from SVRC. 

Outside the lines

Thorladies have become a very close group of friends, besides having lots of fun at training and supporting each other in matches, we like to do activities together outside the pitch as well. Every once in a while we enjoy home-made dinners, film-nights, teambuilding, going out in Delft, events on the Thorboat and each year there will be a fun teamweekend.
