John Gould’s side will take on Old Albanian Saints on Saturday 22 October (kick-off 17:30) following the men’s Gallagher Premiership match against Northampton Saints earlier in the day.

Over 5,000 people stayed behind following Bath Rugby’s league games with Saracens and Sale Sharks to see Bath Rugby Ladies in action, and they did not disappoint!

Producing some scintillating rugby, the Women’s Championship South 1 outfit scored over 120 points across the two games – events which showcased the strong ambition to grow women’s rugby in the region.

Bath Rugby Women and Girls Development Lead Maria Crowfoot said: Arming with our local amateur women’s rugby club and the continuation of the double-header is huge for women and girls’ game in our region.

“To have female players on the big stage offers an opportunity for young girls in and around Bath to see and achieve their goals of one day representing their city at The Rec.”

Bath Rugby Ladies finished third in the league last season with 16 wins from 18 games, just missing out on a place in the play-offs to OA Saints.

October’s visitors pipped Bath on points difference with both teams picking up a win against each other in the regular campaign.

“Our two matches at The Rec last season were special,” Head Coach Gould said.

“Having double-headers at The Rec means the world to our players who were extremely appreciative of the support given to them on both occasions. I’m sure supporters enjoyed the rugby they produced.

“The Rec is a fitting venue to face a team of Old Albanian Saints’ calibre and it is one we are incredibly excited for. We went toe-to-toe with each other last season at the top end of the table and we hope we will be competing up there throughout the 2022/23 campaign too.”
