After a rather long trip to Shropshire, we were at least pleased to see the weather was bright and clear. A picturesque way to spend the afternoon. Game on!
Boro were first to score with a beautiful interception from scrumhalf, Annie Fenton, who then ran over half the length of the pitch to score under the posts. Converted by George Nicholls. Unfortunately, we then had a spell of injuries with our 3 forward replacements all getting on the pitch within the first 25 minutes. Bridgnorth meant business and ran in 5 tries.
Half time 35 - 7
Boro were also first to score in the second half. A big push from the forwards to drive Emma Harlley over the line. Not converted, 35 - 12. Even with Bridgnorth reduced to 14 players with a yellow card, Boro couldn't stopped the strong attacking play. A hard shift from Boro, with the team giving it their all but coming up short against a very strong, drilled side.
Full time 66 - 12
Forward of the match - Poppy O'Driscoll
Back of the match - Annie Fenton
Opposition player - Michelle Barkney
Player's player - Melanie Fulcher
Next game: 2s XV away to Stamford, Sunday 1st March.
