Girls Match Reports
U14’s vs Sandbach (Home) September 19th 35-10 (7 tries to 2)
Sunday saw Girls rugby ‘arrive’ in Cheshire with a wonderful game of rugby between local rivals Northwich and Sandbach. Despite inexperience on both sides everybody threw themselves into the match which was highly contested throughout.
Sandbach threatened a strong back line with speed and agility but Northwich’s forwards out performed in the tight and loose play to deny them possession throughout the match. Northwich instead took the play to Sandbach forcing them to tackle with probing runs from backs Nieve Jones, Katie Stone and Melissa Beesley. Good support play from the Northwich forwards in the end helped create enough space to allow Northwich to score seven tries. With centre Melissa Beesley scoring four, Amy Johnson and Katie stone one each and a well deserved try from forward Thea Breau who helped win the ball in much of the loose play. Sandbach kept going throughout and as Northwich tired, they started to break down the Northwich defence. Although Northwich’s inexperienced line-up coped well throughout, Sandbach found a few gaps to score two tries in the second half. Bringing the final score to 7 tries to 2 (35-10).
All in all, great promise of things to come, with all the players and the supporters alike, all looking forward to the next match.
