Supermarine Ladies 10 - Bristol Ladies 2XV 7
Mar
Supermarine tucked away another win on Sunday, overcoming Bristol Seconds by 3 points. Marine fielded a full 15 for the first time in quite a few games, thanks to the support of some of our 'semi-retired' players. Marine dominated the game in the pack; this resulted in the first try being driven over the line by the force of the forwards. Bristol were on the back foot for most of the first half but broke the home sides defence on a couple of occasions. A brilliant chase down and tackle by Claire Legg 2m short of the line prevented the visiting team equalising. The second half saw another try for Marine followed by a comeback from Bristol who through some good support play put away a try under the posts. Bristol gained confidence stepped up their defence and held Marine off crossing the line again in gruelling 2nd half effort.
Supermarine play their last game of the season away to St Mary's on April 18th.
Tries: Libbie Jones, Jai Cunningham
Back of Match: Sammy Way (scrum half)
