Emily Scarratt - Rugby
England and Lichfield full back and centre Emily Scarratt already boasts an impressive international record at just 22. She has amassed 170 points since her debut, including 16 conversions and six penalty goals. Her latest goal-kicking contribution was three conversions and a penalty when England lifted the European Cup with a 29-25 victory over France in Rovereto, Italy in May this year. She had returned to the starting line up after helping England to success in the IRB Challenge Cup Sevens at Twickenham six days earlier.
Emily had previously helped England to a 22-10 win over hosts Canada in the Nations Cup earlier this year with two conversions and a penalty goal and put over three conversions and another penalty in the 41-19 final triumph over the same opponents.
Her on field successes have not gone unnoticed, being awarded the Leicester Mercury Young Sports Woman in 2007-08, and has toured Canada twice with England U20s and seniors since making her debut four years ago, having amassed 40 senior caps.

gone’ are always muttered by nearly everyone.

out at nothing but a vast white space interrupted only by
oddly shaped snowmen, it is confirmed that indoor training
will be the order of the week.

Well Christmas has come and gone again for another year and
this year was just as filling and busy as normal.
Being an athlete at Christmas certainly tests the will power
to its maximum, and getting the balance between treating
yourself and keeping everything in check is quite difficult.

Having been back at work now for a whole week it is hard to
believe that the whirlwind of the past two weeks did in fact
actually happen.

I am writing this back at work on my lunch break after a
weekend camp down in Surrey frantically trying to get
through, what seems like, a never ending ‘to do list’
before returning back to camp early Wednesday morning.

October has brought about mixed fortunes for my Premiership
side Lichfield who are still struggling to really fulfil
their potential, but a current 3rd place stand is one we
can’t be too displeased with.
The clocks have gone back and any chance of training in the
light after school has now vanished.

After a long and relaxing August off, September has
certainly brought me back to reality with a bump. First
league game of the season completed and two weeks into my
new job, distant memories of relaxing on a beach have
vanished nearly as quickly as the hard fought tan.

After first picking up a rugby ball aged five at my local
rugby club, Leicester Forest East RFC, I probably should
have realised that this sport was soon to encompass my whole
life. 17 years later and I play rugby for England and I’m
a Sports Science graduate.
