Basford v Hertford

Sunday 16th Dec

Last sunday the U15's travelled round to Ware to play against local rivals Hertford.
As usual the girls recieved a warm welcome from Hertford.

With the game being close to christmas, both teams were without key players and it was decided to play 11 a side.

This was the second time the girls had met this season and with all but a few of the girls being nominated for East Trials both sides gave their all.

The Basford forwards as they have been all season were dominant and gave little ball away to the Hertford girls.

Playing her first full game at Hooker Amy Browne had a fantastic game making some big hits and made a terrific break from the back of a ruck to run from the half way line to touch down under the posts.
We also welcomed back Hannah into the team after a long absence and she proved that she had not forgotten anything, making some timely challenges to thwart Hertfords attack.
The backs were given plenty of ball to run at the Hertford defence and used the space across the pitch to display some excellent ball handling and passing.
With all but 2 of the girls getting on the score sheet this week, the girls ensured that they finished the 1st half of the season on a winning note.

Although the final score of 62-5 to Basford may look flattering, the Hertford girls never stopped running at our girls and gave them a real run for their money.

Congratulations to all the girls for their efforts so far this season.

Also a big thank you and a Happy Christmas to all at Hertford for making the day enjoyable for the girls.
