1st Team (Womens) 33 v 36 Crowthorne Ladies - Home Cup Draw on 22 Nov 2015

Published on Friday, 27 November 2015


'Hitchin Ladies entered the cup this year, and found themselves drawn against a team two leagues higher. They set themselves up ready for the biggest fight of the season yet. Off the first play the Hitchin captain, Lucy Ward came off with an elbow injury leaving Hitchin a skipper and a scrum half down. But they rearranged, with Helen Foy stepping up to play scrum half. After a quick hard try from Crowthorne, Hitchin's Megan Nash retaliated, smashing over the line for her first try of the season. Jade Cooper also scored after some great Hitchin play up the field. Crowthorne came back, playing every ball through their captain. Crowthorne's winger scored and Hitchin found themselves two tries down at half time. 

 

Shar Thompson scored two tries breaking through the very solid Crowthorne defence. She nearly scored a hatrick but a smashing tackle popped the ball out, flying off the pitch. A draw of 26-26 with fifteen minutes to go brought exciting energy from both teams as they worked tirelessly to gain the lead. Crowthorne scored a try but Hitchin came back through Suzie-Gajda-Hilton to score and convert it, thanks to some great kicking from Natalie Mellowship. Crowthorne came back though and in the last few minutes scored to win the game. A solid performance from both sides, Hitchin Ladies never going down without a fight. Hitchin Ladies play Grove Ladies away next week.'
