St Mary's Old Boys Ladies 5 - Supermarine Ladies 15
Apr
Supermarine Ladies finished the season on a high, in a double header clash with St Mary's Old Boys in Bristol, gaining 2 bonus points. Marine, started with fourteen players and finished with 13, due to injury, but this didn't deter, as a shortage of players was a common pattern throughout the season. This fact and the hot conditions meant that the ladies had to dig deep. Marine had the opposition on back foot from the start but it took a good 10 mins to break into scoring with an excellent team try. The floodgates opened from here with Marine scoring 5 tries in the first half. The second half started well with further tries, one from Captain Claire Chard breaking from the half way line. But St. Mary's fought back and a lull in play saw them take advantage and score a runaway try when Marine's defence were not switched on. However this boosted Marine's determination and they came back stronger, scoring a final 2 tries within 7 minutes of the full time whistle.
Marine finished mid table this season, goals for next season are fitness and an increase to the number of players. Check out our website if you're interested; www.supermarineladies.co.uk
