Worcester Girls U18’s V Weston Hornets
After recent weeks of every type of foul weather you can imagine, it was a much welcomed beautiful warm and sunny Sunday afternoon that saw our girls go against Weston Hornets in an extremely well matched game. It’s been a few years since we played each other and we didn’t know what to expect.
Straight from the start it was proper end to end stuff with some extremely fast girls on both sides ensuring all the girls got to see both ends of the pitch regularly.
Worcester were first to score a try, quickly followed by another one, both from Evelyn. But Hornets weren’t letting it all go our way and they added two try’s and a conversion to their score soon after. Worcester finished the first half with a further two try’s from Ala making the half time score, Worcester 20 - Hornets 12.
Very quickly into the second half, Hornets showed our girls they weren’t yet finished and scored another try. Once again it was fast paced with tackles and turnovers being made. Both teams kept applying the pressure with some great defence work but then Evelyn scored another try for Worcester, making it a hat trick for her, followed by Ellie drop kicking the conversion.
At this point it was 27 - 17 to Worcester but the game was far from over as Hornets scored another two try’s making it a draw at this point. It was the final minutes of the game and the atmosphere for both teams spectators was tense and exciting. Worcester were down at their try line with Hornets putting up a great defence but after a quick pick and go, Ellie was over the white wash for a match winning try.
It was a great game which saw both teams coming away smiling and shaking hands. Hornets thanked the girls, the coaches, the parents and the club for a great afternoon of rugby and hospitality and we can’t wait to go to the seaside for our return match at the end of March. We may even make a day of it with a visit to the pier, the beach and plenty of ice cream.
