Isherwood named IRB womens personality of the year
Carol Isherwood, former Director of Rugby at the Rugby Football Union for Women, has been named the IRB Women's Personality of the Year.
Isherwood collected her prize at the IRB Awards ceremony in association with Emirates Airline, which was held in London on Sunday evening.
Isherwood, who left the RFUW this year, was recognised as one of the driving forces behind England's success on and off the field over the past decade.
RFUW Managing Director Rosie Williams said: "Carol has made an enormous contribution to the women's game and she thoroughly deserves this award. She has been a stalwart for the game for many years, working for over ten years as an employee of the RFUW and before that, 15 years of voluntary service."
Isherwood first joined the RFUW in 1997 as Performance Director and has since then been heavily involved in working to develop an effective partnership with the RFU and making the women's game sustainable for players, clubs and at the elite level of the game.
