Fareham RFC hosted a practice session for the coming season of the South Hampshire Ladies Touch Rugby Series.

On Sunday 21st September Fordingbridge ladies travelled to Fareham to play some practice games for the upcoming South Hampshire Ladies Touch Rugby series. The idea of the session was to introduce new players to competing against other teams and to trial some additional rules to last years’ games.

Over the summer Fordingbridge ladies have been recruiting hard and numbers have more than doubled, to a consistent 14 people attending on a Wednesday evening at the Fortress!!

The practice session at Fareham on Sunday was good fun and gave the new players an opportunity to play against other teams, whilst developing what they have learnt over the last few weeks.

Regrettably, we did come away with an injury. A new player, who attended training for the first time ever on Wednesday came along on Sunday, to give it a go and see what it was all about. Unfortunately, she earned a broken finger for her commendable effort.

The ladies played really well and we did ourselves proud, keeping a good defensive line and creating some space on the wing. There was some good handling and passing of the ball on the pitch, showing that some of our drills from training have started to sink in.
Despite having some fresh young legs on the pitch, our try was scored by our long-term try scorer, Sarah Gorman, showing that she won’t be outdone by the new young’uns!

Sunday was a great start, but there is room for improvement and we are excited to get back into training, to develop upon what we have learnt and take our game further, to work towards the season ahead. Fordingbridge ladies are looking forward to hosting the first proper South Hampshire Ladies Touch Rugby event of the season, on Sunday 26th October at Fordingbridge Rec, start time of 2pm.
