Lightning to return to the Gardens this season

Loughborough Lightning will return to Northampton later this season as two further matches are confirmed to take place at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens. 

Supporters will be able to get their rugby fix after the conclusion of Northampton Saints’ regular Gallagher Premiership season, as Lightning head back to the Gardens bolstered by their internationals after the TikTok Women’s Six Nations – welcoming Gloucester-Hartpury (Sunday 14 May) and Saracens Women (Saturday 3 June) in the Allianz Premier 15s.

Lightning have claimed victories in two of their four outings in Northampton so far this term, beating Wasps in a standalone game in January and then Sale Sharks last month in a Double Header with Saints at the Gardens. 

And Rhys Edwards says his side are delighted to be returning to Northampton as the season draws to a close.

“The team love playing at the Gardens,” said the Lightning Director of Rugby. “So, we’re really looking forward to getting back there for another two matches this season. 

“We’ve had some brilliant support in Northampton already this campaign and the chance to play on a pitch like Saints’, with loud crowds in the stands, is something the squad relish. 

“Both Gloucester and Saracens will prove two tough tests, but we’re determined to enjoy closing out the season with a bang.”
