Squad put to the test with 7 players out

Leek welcomed Barker Butts having 4 of the starting backs missing, both starting 2nd rows missing or playing in different positions, forwards playing in the backs and various other girls playing out of position. Having said that we still put out a strong team reflecting on the strenght of the squad and the ability of the girls to play various positions.
Leek started the game strongly moving the ball down field. On 10 minutes great driving runs by the fowards saw Sophia gain the ball for the 2nd time in the drive. Her aggression helped her crash over for a fine try. Leek continued to pile on the pressure and good forward phases gave our captain some space and her clever draw and pass to Abby resulting in her out sprinting BB to score.
Then came a magnificent score. The forwards started a drive in their on half. Many girls carried 2 or 3 times resulting in the ball being moved to Grace 10 yards out. She carried over 3 defenders for a superb forwards try. 15-0 HT.
Morgan, playing at 12, started to make ground for fun. She put Millie in from 20 yards but the BB defence rushed over. Millie cut inside, Morgan ripped the ball from her reversing back to the touchline to score a cracker.
Jenny was running the show as ever and her break resulted in Morgan running in for a brace. 25-0. Sophia then had to leave the field meaning we had a bare 15 with 4 props on the field. We started to tire and BB came back strongly scoring 2 excellent trys.
Dunny was MOM harressing her opposite number stopping their scrummage possession. Thank you to all the girls who played out of position.The squad was tested against strong opposition but you came good through due to your team ethic.
Brilliant girls, well done
