Kamo High School, NZBiography
When they Warriors played Hafan Y Coed Nursing Home (STAFF!!) they asked that women be allowed to play.
The Warriors strong female following then wanted to get involved. After several eventful training sessions, 4 still wanted to play; Claire Darkins, Lisa Madden (Now Folkes), Yvonne Andrews and Tanya Haddock.
It was decided that Tanya and Claire would play the 1st half, Lisa and Yvonne the 2nd. Tanya managed to go missing just at kick off - and so Claire became the 1st woman to play for the club.
So much did she enjoy that she shacked up with the most handsome and athletic of the Warriors and so continues to be major influence on the club ;)
