as the pioneering students left university an adult game began to evolve. initially (1966) this tended to be confined to charity matches between male and female teams (especially at worthing rfc, england), though the uk's "daily herald" newspaper includes photographs of girls' teams training in thornhill, near dewsbury in yorkshire in 1965, and at tadley in hampshire in 1966—and appealing for fixtures. it is not recorded whether these teams did arrange any games, and so it is not until 1 may 1968 that the first fully documented and recorded women's club match takes place, in france, at toulouse fémina sports in front of "thousands of spectators". the success of the event lead to the formation of the first national association for women's rugby union—the "association francaise de rugby feminin" (afrf) at toulouse, in 1970.
