COUNTY 30/11

Today we played a traingular with hertfordshire. On the day we mixed the girls on both the blue and yellow teams and some of you played out of position. Though we lost both games to a strong hertfordshire team everyone gave 100% and did not give up. As we have said before it is not the result that we are looking for but the performance. Playing teams like hertfordshire gives us chance to see how we are progressing and a chance to play someone new.Thanks to tricia for organising the food and pitches and to steve for being our ref today.

BURFIELD MATCH REPORT

Today we played burfield away. Having already played them a few weeks ago we knew this would be no easy game.Burfield started very strongly and worcester never saw the ball for the first 5 minutes and burfield soon scored to make it 5-0 to burfield.Worcester then started to play and slowly got back into the game with a try from ashley after about 20 minutes which was converted by katie. From the restart burfield attacked and the last 5 minutes of the first half worcester had to defend against a very determined burfield and the ball was held up over the worcester line 3 times.HT 7-5 to worcester.The second half saw worcester step up a gear and it was all worcester against a tiring opposition. The ball was now being moved across the backs and stretching the opposition . There were 4 more trys in the second half for worcester katie 2 aimie 2 against 1 for burfield.Katies 1 try coming from where she caught the opposition line out ball and burst through to score.Final score burfield 10 worcester 27. Overall we stepped up gear to the last time we played burfield but it could still be better. In the game there were glimpes of what we know you are capable off. There were some good periods of play but we must start stronger and play as a whole team for the whole 50 minutes and not just the last 25 as there are teams out there that will punish us if we do not.Thanks to all the parents who drove today as without you these away fixtures can not take place.

The final score did not reflect the game.The try scorers for worcester were tash x2 libbyand hettie. As we said after last weeks win it was the team and individual performance that we are looking for more than the result.There are some areas to put right which will discuss on wednesday but as a team we can not rely on just a few players to make all the tackles and we must concentrate all the way to the final whistle.
