This Sunday, the ladies welcome the Wellington Vixens to Raleigh Park in what is an exciting top-of-the-table clash.
Two games in and Withy are flying high, seated second in the league standings. In their last outing a couple of weeks ago, the ladies scored big on the road, running out 53-0 winners away in Teignmouth. Combining with our opening round 15-15 draw against Sidmouth puts Withy on 8pts so far at this relatively early stage.
Wellington have enjoyed a strong start to the season too, most recently winning 49-12 at home against Exmouth. The Vixens’ unbeaten start to the season puts them top, just one point ahead of us. It’s all to play for!
This is our first competitive meeting with our Somerset-based visitors, so we go into the game with fresh eyes. What we can be sure is that, as the only side with two wins out of two, they’ll be a tough opponent, and the ladies will need to keep their impressive momentum going to take the top spot in the table after round three.
As well as on-field strength and performance; off the field, the ladies continue to grow in numbers week by week with training sessions getting busier. With two more debutants on this week’s full team sheet, we’re excited to see how they get on!
Kick off on Sunday is at 2:30pm – we hope to see you there!
