H & W v NLD

Fantastic result 38-7 against what was basically a East Midlands regional side.

We showed true gritty determination running in six tries with another 3 from Sophie Watkiss, two from Lydia and one from Zoe Kings - Lou converted 4.

The really pleasing thing was that after being under considerable pressure in the second third of the game we defended magnificently and turned around the pressure. Our level of fitness was an area that NLD coaches pointed out which was pleasing to hear after the hard work we have put in.

Great team spirit, great resolve, great victory

Game v Cardiff 1st November

We came away with a hard fought 12-5 win - two tries from Lydia and a conversion from Lou.

We showed true gritty determination against the best opposition we have played so far this season. We sometimes lost our way with attacking options however we defended extremely well at times and certainly the scrum was much improved and more of the cohesive unit we have been seeking.

Considering the number of unavailable players we played with a good spirit and even when we were down to 13 players we had enough resolve and ability to keep the door shut. We enjoyed considerable territorial advantage throughout the game.

A good fixture for us in the lead up to Burfield and we know now what we need to do to improve even further

49 - 0

Well done girls on a fantastic game where we showed some really first class rugby - positive was the attitude which was very positive and focussed - negative was that we gave away far too many penalties for silly mistakes and against tougher competition they would make us pay - however the score says it all really - we out classed them in all aspects of the game particularly of note was Izzy in the line out who looked like she been doing it all her rugby career. The team was led by Wino who led by example all afternoon and showed true leadership qualities.

Tries were scored by Crooky, Sophie W x 2, Abi, Zoe Kings, Lydia, Megan, Fran and last but no means least Big C on the day Wino, two conversions by Lou and Zoe K. A massive welcome back to Hannah who didn't look out of place on the blinside, also I must mention Zeta who would have definately scored at least two tries had last pass not been more accurate.

Overall I think we are starting to mould into a realy good team but with hard work, effort and dedication we could become even better than that.

Jem

game v Jimmy's angels

Game v Old Northamptonians

Fantastic performance from all involved which resulted in 12 tries and 3 conversions - notable performances from Sophie Watkiss with a hat-rick of tries and Zoe Kings with 3 conversions on her debut for the U18's. It was really pleasing to note the performance of last years Under 15's who have settled really well into the team and showing real signs of talent. Fantastic tackle by Megan making not only her debut for the U18's but also for WRFC. Still lots of areas for improvement and hard work in training needed but nonetheless a fantastic start to what should be a really exciting season

Big thanks to all the parents who travelled to the game

Jem

7s tour rules

OK. Tour rules now decided. Theme is pyjamas and teddy bears. PJs will be worn both there and back; teddy bears must be carried at all times while not playing; if your photo is taken you must pretend to be asleep.

The coach will leave 7.15am at the absolute latest. Please be at the club by 7.00am.

Steve

Disappointment on Sunday

We went into the cup final feeling OK but knew it was going to be a big match. And so it proved. Reading were well-drilled and a team full of confidence. They played some great rugby and the match proved to be a bit too much for Worcester Greyhounds. 12-3 at half time to Reading didn't get any better in the second half. We went down in the end 24-8.

All congratulations to reading who were impressive opposition and well-deserved winners. particularly impressed with the Reading 8 and 15. No idea of names (lost my programme, sorry!). Thanks to Lou and Wino for our points.

Squad: Hair, Emelie, Fay, Wino, Kacie, Ghostie, Lize, Rhi, Fran, Abby, Lou, Beth, Sophie, Jade, Zoe, Nic, Shoulders, Peaches, Crookie, Lydia, Fidler, Katie.

While we lost the match, we are very proud of all the squad for making it to the national final. Well done and as the last 15s match for Rich, Tolley and I a great performance to go out on.

Steve

Sunday and Tour

Things seem to be all sorted for Sunday. 10.45 latest at Lichfield. Want to try and get changed and ready to go just after 11.00. It's a 12 o'clock kick off.

Can anyone who hasn't paid try to remember to bring hoody money please? Would be great if we could sort that one totally by Sunday! :D

On the subject of tour... after some hunting from Ghost, we've found a Travelodge near the 7s so as far as we know, staying overnight near the rugby club on the Saturday is a-ok! Therefore we just need to know whether everyone is up for it, as well as who can and can't come. It shouldn't be any more than £50, and that's the absolute maximum. We'd leave early on the Saturday, participate in (read: win) the 7s then head on over to the Travelodge for the night. Head back Sunday, around midday-ish maybe?

Anyways, let either me or Ghostie know asap if you're available. Remember, 7s squads are smaller than normal ones so I don't know what's gonna happen in regards to who's playing etc, but I guess if everyone brings their kit they may be able to help out some other teams if not in the squad? I dunno. Everyone is expected for tour, though. :)

Finally, Ghostie, Rhi and myself have been throwing around ideas for a tour theme. Rhiannon, who is insistent that she has a SWAG bag, wants to do cops and robbers. Backs would be cops, forwards would be robbers. Cops can be anything from your average bobby to detectives. As for me personally, I'm going as Special Agent in charge if we are up for this.

If anyone has any other suggestions for a theme, let us know. We know it's short notice for the theme, but everyone has to make some kind of small effort, or we'll have to think of a punishment...

See everyone Sunday!

Beth

Wednesday and Hoddies

Just a quick one (not that I know how many people read this thing!)

Cheers to everyone that turned to to training this morning. We got some good stuff done so that was great.

We need everyone at training Wednesday so be ready for a 7.30pm start.

Also, we need everyone's money for Hoddies on Wednesday if possible. £22.50 - please please try not to forget.

Beth

Worthing trip off

Due to a shortage of player numbers and as we have the national cup final next week, Rich, Tolley, Jem and I have had to make the decision not to gtravel to Worthing this weekend. I know this is disappointing news, but we had to consider the risks to those players who would have had to play all of every match.

As it is the final next week, we will have a training session on Sunday as usual.

Steve

Cup Final and the Rest of the Season

Firstly well done to everyone for results at the weekend, we played and won 3 hard games on a less them impressive playing surface. We have reached the Cup Final (again) and looks like we will be playing Reading (before you ask I know nothing about how good they are).

I would like to see everyone at training for the next couple of weeks so that we are ready for Reading. Also, I need everyone's Full Name and DOB for the Cup Final Team Sheet which needs to be submitted before the day - e-mail me rich.hepple@btinternet.com or text me please.

Remainder of the Season:

Sunday 3rd May - Worthing 10's
Sunday 10th May - National Cup Final
Sunday 17th May - 7's Training
Saturday 23rd May - National 7's
Sunday 31st May - End of Season

Worcester Greyhounds through to the final

Our first match of the day was against local rivals Burfield .
Worcester Greyhounds had a stormer of a game with three tries scored. Burfield giving us strong opposition in the forwards especially coming close to scoring on several near-miss occasions.
A typically strong performance from scrum-half Rose. Score: 17 - 0

Our second game was against West Park Leeds with only one try with a conversion scored.
A strong pack of forwards and a good back line in the second half meant that Worcester Greyhounds were on the back foot defensively for the entire half. West Park Leeds had many breaks and only some desperate tackling saved the game.
Score: 7 - 0

Our final game of the day was against Paviours.
A tired Worcester Greyhounds started the game with bad hands and poor tackling. However, as the game progressed Worcester Greyhounds were soon back on form with two tries scored in the first half.
A strong defence by Paviours meant that we did not add on anymore to the score in th second half.
Score: 12 - 0
Conversions by Louey.

Team: Hair, Emily, Faye, Wino, KC, Ghostie, Lize, Weewee Nic, Peaches, Shoulders, Crookie, Fran, Lou, Sophie, Beth, Jade, Abbie, Lydia, Katie and Zoe

Gloucester 10s

An early start and everyone was off to Hartpury College. A full squad and more meant that we had enough players. A special thanks to Shoulders (Sophie) who kindly volunteered to go and play for Old Northamptonians who were a little short. Some of our other players had one or more games for them so thanks to all who volunteered and hope that Shoulders's injured hand recovers soon.

First match - Pool match against New Cull (combined Newquay and Cullompton) and a rusty start for us. A good run out and we had to work to get a 25-0 win.

Second match - Pool match against old challengers Letchworth on the hill called pitch 2. A good win with a score of 27 -0.

Third match - Pool match against Suffolk Sabres. A tough one with some excellent players on the opposition. A much tighter 14-7 win.

Fourth Match - Final pool match against Berry Hill. Getting into our stride meant a 29-0 win against a good opposition.

Semi- final - Up against local rivals Burfield. Both teams know each other well and that adds some spice to the matches. Always tough to play against we ran out 12-7 winners in the end. Correction - 17 -7. Missed Wino's second try. Sorry

Final - We played a great Boadicieas Barbarians (Drybrook and Hucclecote) side. They had some real pace in a number of players and there was little we could do to compete. They were an excellent 10s side and ran out very worthy 29-7 winners.

Overall we had a good day and the competition was very successful. We look forward to going back again next year.
Team: Beth, Abby, Crookie, Lou, Ghostie, Hair, Wino, KC, Rhiannon, Emily, Sophie W, Jade, Lydia, Fran, Eliza (and Shoulders).

U15 competition the next day - check the U15s website for news.

Gloucester 10s

Videos of yesterday's match

I have been informed that a video clip of the incident on the pitch involving a Worcester and a Burfield player is allegedly being circulated. As far as I and the other coaches are concerned the incident was closed by the referee during the match and a penalty for the offence dealt out.

I would be very disappointed if any Worcester players were part of circulating any such clip and would discuss with my fellow coaches whether some sort of disciplinary action will be required.
