Match Report
The under 12s had a fantastic day on Sunday, this time sporting Dronfield colours against Long Eaton. A few last minute illnesses for Long Eaton meant a couple of our girls had to join them so we could have 9 a side. They did it without complaint and played hard no matter which jersey they wore. In the drizzle the rugby was fast, aggressive and at times a little chaotic but was great fun to watch. Long Eaton scored most of the tries in the first quarter but the girls soon sorted themselves out and ran in several of their own. That was the flow of the match with both sides adjusting to each other and the game ebbing and flowing. No one took a step back all game and the real winners were us parents who got to watch a really entertaining battle. The girls finished and immediately they were laughing and joking with each other and some new friends were made.
Coaches player this week went to Elizabeth for outstanding leadership, aggression at the breakdown and some fantastic tackles.
TNT player this week went to Annie B for her relentless work rate and heart.
Parents player went to Sienna who in spite of having had no sleep played her best game all season and capped it off with a try.
Oppositions player went to PiP who was great in defence and dangerous in offence all game.
Magic moments went to Annie B and Sienna for their first tries, along with some overdue magic moments for Pip, Annie D, Lillie and Elizabeth for their first tries at Moortown.
All the girls played absolutely fantastic! Well done on a great game played the right way.
