 HERITAGE NO : 1 Tara is a quality hooker who played her rugby at Thatto Heath and then transitioned to St Helens. She was seen as one of the future stars of the game both as a player and a match official. She officiated as a Grade Two referee. She officiated in the Challenge Cup competition and at Wembley for the Championship Schools – the curtain raiser to the Challenge Cup Final. Tara was also a great leader and became the first captain of the Saints Women’s team. She was a very durable member of the team and rarely missed a match in her first three seasons with the Saints. Tara also had a keen eye for a scoring opportunity and helped herself to a commendable 21 tries in 41 matches. Tara was a member of the team which lifted the Challenge Cup in a resounding victory over York City Knights in June 2021. She commanded the centre of the pitch which helped the Saints win the Cup for the first time. She was a regular player for the Club throughout their unbeaten, treble winning campaign of 2021. Tara played dummy half in the resounding finale to the 2021 campaign. The team powered to a great victory over the talented Leeds Rhinos side in October 2021. That win rounded off the season and completed an historic unbeaten treble winning year. In 2024 Tara helped the club to win the Challenge Cup at Wembley and end the season as league leaders. The agonising loss to York Valkyrie in the Grand Final proved to be a min air blemish on a fantastic career. Tara retired to become the first woman to join the RFL referees` panel having officiated a Men`s Championship match in 2024. She was truly a trailblazer in our game. Dave Dooley | |||||||
