Sunday 11th October

The U18's travelled to Sudbury today to play a friendly against a Suffolk Sabres side containing a large percentage of the Eastern Counties side.

In what was a terrific game of rugby from the Basford girls they unfortunately came away on the wrong end of a 19-17 defeat largely in part to some strange decisions by the home referee.

The team have now started to gel as a unit and under the coaching of Gavin and Tony they are proving to be a match for any one.

Despite coming away having been beaten, the whole team performed really well and both the forwards and the backs made it extremely difficult for the Sabres. The forwards were continually in the thick of the action and harrassed and haranged the Sabres in every part of the field. The backs at times cut through the Sabres lines like a knife through butter and only desperate defending stopped them racking up numerous tries.

A terrific days rugby if not the right result but there is lots to come from this team over the coming months.
