Today Fordingbridge ladies headed off to New Milton for the second leg of the Hampshire Ladies touch series, looking to match our winning form from last month. Conditions were dreary but spirits were high. With our esteemed coach Badger in tow we were ready and raring to go. This was the first time New Milton had entered the competition and could only muster 4 players so all teams chipped in to help them out- we’re good like that!

Game 1 was against New Milton, with the addition of Angela Mouland, and although we wanted to give them ample opportunity to learn the game- we also wanted to win! With tries from Gorman, Karen, and our youngest player (at an energetic 17yrs old) Lucy, we were off to a flying start. Game 2 was always going to be tough against our fiercest rivals Andover, but we managed to hold off with some fantastic defensive work to a final score of 0-0.

Our final game of the day was against Fareham Hags. We were feeling confident, if not a little tired! Again, Lucy got us off to a flying start, scoring a try down the wing. With a little advice from Badge we widened our game, leaving a big old gap in the middle for Lucy to dash through and get a second try. To add insult to injury we pretty much played a carbon copy of that move, straight from the restart, and Lucy got her 4th try of the day. A harsh decision from the ref stumped our attempt at a fourth, and the game ended 3-0.

Back to the clubhouse for the eagerly anticipated results… we knew it was going to come down to the wire after Andover also won 2 and drew 1… and after totting up tries scored and tries conceded (which was none) it was a miraculous draw in 1st place between us and Andover!

Thanks to El Presidente and Julia, Robert Senior, and Keri and Emily for coming to show their support- glad we made it worth your while. That’s 2 out of 2 for our winning streak… roll on December 14th at US Portsmouth.
