Spence’s call-up is proud moment for OLs
Spence represented Warwickshire in three fixtures in the run-up to Christmas and was nominated to attend a divisional selection day by the county manager following promising displays.
Twenty-three-year-old Spence has only been playing rugby for five years having started during her fresher’s year at Warwick University.

A committed forward, Spence can play in both the second row and back row and is an excellent lifter in line-outs. She is also a powerful ball-carrier with exceptional pace and agility.
Old Leamingtonians’ head coach Gemma Lewis said: “We are extremely proud to have one of our players selected for divisional rugby.
“Caz has a natural talent for the game and is an asset to our squad and theirs.”
