Possibly our biggest test to date, the only team to have beaten our girls from the
U12s season, it was sure to be excellent game. The game started very cagey with a
very physical northern side, Northern thought they would run through us in attack but
our tackling was immense, time after time northern were driven back, if the 1st tackle
was missed (rarely) then there was a 2nd and 3rd ready, chasing back and never
gave up. Breakdown was great including the counter ruck. Our attack was based on
powerful running, mixed with great hands Northern could not deal with it , our
support running today was also fantastic, don't think I ever saw a Billingham player
get isolated. The game was a close game with both teams playing on the front foot, 2
quick tries from Summer & Neve gave Billingham the early lead, before northern
pulled on back to keep Billingham on their toes, with Sophie adding another try
before half time. The 2 nd half was more of the same, we score, they score! But tries
from Summer, Orla and Mckenna and conversions from Neve and Amy got us over
the line winning 36-29.
POTMs were Gracie Blenkinsopp and Summer Kidson
