๐ฉท๐ MELKSHAM FAWNS U14s SHOW FIGHTING SPIRIT IN THE COTSWOLDS! ๐
Our U14s travelled to Minchinhampton to face a strong Cotswold Lionesses side in a challenging but rewarding match.
After two players picked up knocks in the warm-up, the Fawns started with just 14 players. Despite a tough opening spell, the girls showed some great rugby, with strong work at the rucks, good ball movement and plenty of determination.
The Lionesses made the most of a few early opportunities to build a healthy lead, but the Fawns refused to let their heads drop! ๐ช
Towards the end of the first half, the pack started to dominate the scrums, giving the girls a real boost. The tackling improved, confidence grew and the Fawns began to find their feet.
The second half was a fantastic response! ๐ฅ The girls stepped up physically, played some exciting attacking rugby and scored some brilliant tries. There were some excellent passages of play, showing just how much progress this team is making.
๐ Special mentions:
๐ Elodie โ A brilliant effort playing her first full game at ho**er. What a shift!
๐ฅ Amyah โ Just her second game and already two tries in two matches against tough opposition. Fantastic work!
The result may not have gone our way, but the girls showed resilience, teamwork and a never-give-up attitude right until the final whistle.
So much to be proud of! Every challenge is another opportunity to learn, grow and get stronger together. ๐ฉท๐
๐ Well done to the Cotswold Lionesses and best of luck for the rest of the season.
