U18's Girls - Match Report (21/02/10)
North Dorset v Exeter Saracens/Taunton/Yatton - Away (Won - 21-27)
Sarries were low on numbers for their trip to North Dorset RFC with just
eight u15 and four u18 players however the long journey was well worth it as
the girls were able to combine with players from other clubs for a very good
afternoon of rugby. Taunton and Yatton were also short of numbers so
Sarries combined with them to take on the host club who could just about
manage to field full strength teams in both age groups.
As Saracens knew from last week North Dorset are a good well drilled outfit
but the determination of the combined side to play some good running rugby
saw them win this nail biting game. Two flowing moves early on put the
visitors into an early lead but North Dorset got back into the game because
as expected they were better organised than the combined team and were able
to exploit a few gaps that opened up in the visitors defence and opened up a
21 - 15 lead. The visitors sharpened up their defence and also started
moving the ball around and trying to avoid contact, this resulted in a try
which was converted by Saracen's Carey Wellby to give a one point lead. This
brought the game to a gripping finale with both teams going all out for the
decisive score. The visitors turned over an attack in their own 22 and ran
the ball out the subsequent maul was driven all of 30 metres only for the
home team to collapse it and give away a penalty. Again Carey Wellby stepped
up but went for a quick tap and although held up short she had three or four
other players in support to drive her over to score the try that sealed the
game.
