BRISTOL LADIES RUGBY MATCH REPORT
Bristol Ladies 2nd XV vs
Thurrock Ladies - 2nd Nov 2014
Bristol Ladies 2nd XV were
unable to get passed the Thurrock defence this afternoon as they fell to a 0 –
37 defeat.
There were periods of excellent play during
the first half with the pack showing aggression and pushing forward, and the
backs linking well and completing passes with a high level of accuracy. After
conceding one try in the early stages of the first half, the girls held strong
showing their skill and determination and came close to crossing the try line
twice in 10 minutes. Unfortunately a spell of increased pressure from Thurrock
just before half time saw them score two tries in quick succession taking the
half time score to 0 – 19.
Bristol took several knocks early in the
second half and were unable to get through the Thurrock defence. Their fierce
determination showed as the players tried their all to get that elusive score,
however Thurrock powered on and ended the game with a score line of 0 -37.
Assistant Coach Matt Belbin was pleased
with the performance despite the final score. ‘That was definitely one of the
best performances of the season so far – individually and as a team. The
players have listened to the coaches in training and I could see them using all
the skills we worked on in training which is fantastic – you can’t ask any more.
Our downfall was not being able to get the ball out wide and hold onto it, but
we’ll work on during our week off and come back stronger next time around’.
