We came together with some girls from Leigh and Manchester to face Chester for the second time this season. A few casualties before the match started left us needing a bit of support from Chester team to make the game playable.
After a slow start, we came under early pressure and conceded a couple of tries within the first 10 minutes. This didn't deter the team and they stuck to their task throughout the first half but found the pace of some of the Chester players difficult to contend with. We went in at half time with 5 tries to zero.
However, the second half provided a much improved performance, a new enthusiasm and some energy. We had girls flagging because of vaccinations but they continued to try and battle hard. They got their rewards with 3 tries in the second half and some smilkes restored to faces.
Mention must go to Daisy B who braved the flu and played really well in the second half, Chrissie who was visibly struggling with the effects of her jab but carried on, Cassie who tackled non stop even after a little accident behind the posts, Lucy Ruby and Eleanor in their first season at this level putting themselves in the midst of collisons, Tilly and Emma from Manchester who had a superb second 35 mins, and the Leigh girls who just love the collisions! Great to watch.
Next game v Crewe & Nantwich 12/12/2021 at Winnington.
