Waking up to a slight chill but lovely sunshine the women’s team head down to the club to watch the younger girls play and support them as a team. Shortly after, the girls are heading in to get ready for the fight ahead of them. Looking as beautiful as ever in their matching flower training tops and off to warm up they go.

As 3:00 rolls in fast the girls run fast through the tunnel and onto the field ready for the first kick off. The girls knew this was going to be a hard game but they were ready. The G’s hold up their defence as Worthing continue to push and push through the middle. They were not successful. However after their great ball handling skills they managed to score down the wings. Not to worry though because the G’s were not giving up that easy.

The first line out of the game and what a great line out that was. With Sophie H one of our new jumpers being lifted and held high in the air by Vicki and Peaches. That was a steal. All though out this game there were great tackles from Jorja Vicki and Sian however Worthing had those speedy wingers and they were off. The scrums this game were strong, steady and well combined. The backs lined up and ready to be up in defence. Again Worthing with their great offloads and passing out to the wings they managed to run around but they had not beaten us yet.

An amazing try saving tackle from Hobbit taking the Worthing player down and off the field. A few moments later with only a few meters towards conceding another try, Hobbit magically reappeared under the player with the ball and just like that we were on the attack. Carry after carry, Liv and Liz putting their body on the line inching closer and closer to the try line with Vicki powering past making a break and storming towards the line. Unfortunately Worthings defence was just too firm and we were unable to finish the job.

After a nice warm break in the changing rooms and a great loud chant later they were back out and ready to go. Another amazing line out with Peaches and Jo lifting Sophie so gracefully in the air to catch the ball that Liv has passed into their hands.
After some big hits and breaks Sian kicks the ball over the top of the players with Ruby and Hobbit running hard and fast to chase down the ball which ended in a very deserved try for East Grinstead.

A massive special mention to debut Phoebe who got stuck in making tackles and running for the try line. Equally our newby and debut Emily who did amazing. Well done girls.

The score does not reflect how well out East Grinstead women played. Putting their body on the line and supporting one another. Do not give up girls!!!!
