The Roses took the win but Westbury Ladies gave good battle
Sunday 5th December
Dorchester Rugby Football Club, Coburg Rd, Dorchester DT1 2HX
K.O. 2.00pm
This was the first meeting of the Roses and Westbury Ladies. Westbury Ladies kicked off on the cold, wintery day, and took control of the game. Two strong line outs by the forwards were followed up by the backs moving the ball nicely through their hands getting the team five meters from the line. Mariana Mosquera crossed the whitewash and scored the try which went unconverted. Making the score 0 5.
The Roses came back and put Westbury Ladies under pressure in their 22. Westbury Ladies kept them at bay and won a penalty at the scrum pushing the Roses back to halfway. This didn’t deter the Roses and they went on the attack, this time keeping Westbury Ladies in their 22. They eventually got their try and converted it making it 7 5.
Dorchester were keen to add more points before half time, but the Westbury Ladies defence held and they were held up at the line. Westbury Ladies were keen to get back on the score board too and Hannah Haynes ripped the ball, but the whistle was soon blown, and the teams swapped ends before more points could be scored.
After the fast paced first half the second half was a lot slower as both teams saw some injuries. The cold played a factor in the handling errors on both team’s part. The Roses and Westbury Ladies were at logger heads with no further try’s scored, although Westbury Ladies, Holly Morgan made a dart for the corner but was taken off the pitch and the try averted.
Westbury Ladies forward of the match went to Holly Nobel and back of the match went to the try scorer, Mariana Mosquera.
Congratulations to Dorchester/Weymouth & P Roses Ladies who got their first win of the season. Westbury Ladies are looking forward to their next game at home on 19th December again Trojans Ladies 2nds.
