An incredibly early start saw us down in Westcliff in Essex. Sadly not a hint of seaside, but some tough rugby instead. We were due to play a triangular with Westcliff and Letchworth. We were to start with Westcliff so we began the warmup. Unfortunately we had our first injury even before the first match kicked off as a tackle on Shove by Spidee meant that Shove had to head off to hospital with a shoulder problem before the first ball was kicked in anger. A separated shoulder means a couple of weeks off so hoping for a quick recovery there. Weewee had to step in and played her first matches as prop, so thanks to her.
Westcliff were tough opposition and we knew that they would be hard opponents and so it proved.Their number 8 caused havoc through most of the first half but Bean managed to convert her own try to give us a half-time 0-7 lead. Some tough half-time talking from the coaches allowed us to make a much better showing in the second half and the tackling was much improved. Having said that Westcliffe scored but a final try from Bob closed hings out at 5-12.
We then went into a second match against Letchworth. We had the advantage of having our game heads on and first half tries from Asskiss and Bob allowed us to carry a 0-25 lead into the break. Jade, Fidler and Lydia scored before some great individual play got Letchworth their try. The match finished 5-40 to us. Some great hospitality from Westcliffe and it was time to head home. Our thanks to Westcliffe and Letchworth for the day.
Team: Weewee, Coral, Kim, Leanne, Wino, Lize, Pikey, Spidee, Ale, Jade, Bean, Hatty, Asskiss, Lydia, Beth. Replacements: Nips, Fidler, Ghostie
