🏉 Match report;
The vixens home game against Wharfedale this Sunday was rearranged last minute due to the adverse rain in the Ribble Valley and Wharfedale were kind enough to put the match on at The Avenue.
The match against a very experienced Wharfedale side was never going to be easy and the final score suggested it was.
The Vixens held their own in the first fifteen minutes and were pragmatic in their play with solid scrums, tough tackling, forwards consistently looking to attack in pods, dangerous line breaks and surging runs from the backs. However, Wharfedale, with a home crowd and the wind behind them took control and were out of sight by halftime.
Despite the score the Vixens continued the with determination, hard work, strong tackling and good ball in hand. The introduction of the Vixens substitutes maintained the energy and commitment levels and kept Wharfedale relatively quiet for most of the 2nd half.
A couple of players picking up injuries & the Vixens unable to get a score on the board took away from what was a positive performance from the whole team.
