Glorious defeat for IC Virgins
Despite a slow first 10 minutes, the weeks of line-out practice paid off for the Virgins, when Ellen caught an excellent throw in with the superb lifting help from Mo and Lucy. There followed a series of quick penalties by Sarah C., Becky and Ellen leading to an "International style" try from Becky. Some experimentation with varying the number of forwards in the line-out proved to confuse the not-so-cunning Vets. Some exceptional passing by the backs ensured that the Vets worked hard for their points. And despite a dis appointing score of Virgins 5 - Royal Vets 44, it as agreed that it was the Virgins finest display of skills and fitness yet. Everyone showed great improvement, and team confidence has been boosted greatly before our next match.
Back of the match goes to Clare for her vicious tackles. Forward(s) of the Match goes to Sue and Mo because they both had great attitude, tonnes of stamina and speed, and corking aggression. Player of the Match undoubtably goes to Becky for her well "sexy" try!!! Loads of sympathy to Shuggy who only got to enjoy 20 minutes of the game before being damaged making a storming tackle.
