Into the final!

A very hard-fought day at Burton RFC. First up against Leonidas Ladies who had knocked us out of the cup last year (and who we played for 70 minutes earlier in the year for a 0-0 draw). A very tough game with some hard-as-nails opposition. Both sides up very quickly in defence which meant little wide ball. Not for want of trying from both sides. A breakthrough from Asskiss into the corner put us 5-0 up. Very quickly Leos came back and put one under the post and made it 5-7. Asskiss managed to get through with a nippy run and Bean converted for a 12-7 win.

Leos then played Burfield (Burton/Lichfield combined) and ran a little amok scoring a number of tries for a 24-0 win. We had to beat Burfield to confirm going through. A loss would get down to points difference.

Playing Leos had taken it out of both teams and while defences were very tight, we failed to make much of scoring opportunities. Bean converted her own try to go 7-0 up but some over-enthusiastic rucking gave away a penalty just outside our own 22 which Lauren from Burfield punished us with the kick to make it 7-3.

Some tough defence was needed to hold Burfield out to finish with a win putting us into the final.

Congratulations to: Beth, Nic, Asskiss, Alyssa, Fidler, Bean, Ale, Tolley, Kim, Shove, Leanne, Ghostie, Lie, Pikey, Weewee, Coral, and Wino.
