Issy Phipps

It is with great sadness that we inform our community of the sudden passing of Issy Phipps.

Issy was part of the Girls 18s England team that played at the 2022 Junior Touch Championships, winning Gold in a dramatic match. Many of our community will know Issy through either Touch, Maidenhead Rugby Club or Hartpury College.

Issy was a much-loved member of the Girls 18s squad and many in our community have spoken of not just her passion and love for rugby and Touch, but her desire to share that passion with her peers and those younger than her.

Our thoughts and condolences are with the Phipps family and Issy’s friends and loved ones.
