Stewart, who helped bring the side together, said not only was the team as a whole new but the majority of the Red Devils were playing rugby for the first time this year.
“Our goals are to just work on our skills as a team and enjoy ourselves. It’s our first year and it’s all about learning something new,” Stewart said.
“It’s a brand new sport for women in Gunnedah but we’ve pretty much doubled in numbers from our first game, which is awesome.
“Each week, we’re improving our skills together which is making us more competitive.”
