Final score against St Andrews University was 25-20 to us. It was an emotionally charged match with both sides wanting the win. St. A tested our defence, their players were strong and hard to tackle its safe to say we are all feeling the effects today from a tough physical match. However we were stronger, worked well as a team, winning our scrums and were fast and threatening in attack.
Try scorers were Phaedra Snailham x3 and Olivia Baron x2. Women of the match were Ashley Cathcart and Olivia Baron. Excellent performance as always from Ashley and Olivia scored 2 tries in her first match ever playing for the badgers, which is fantastic.
There is so much to be proud of so far this season: We won against St.A. We remain undefeated. We are still top of the BUCS league table. We have played 5 games and received 5 bonus points.
On another note, disaster almost struck early on as we travelled over half way to St. Andrews to discover we didn't have our playing kit. After a mild panic attack and copious phone calls later we managed to secure a kit to play in. The GURFC 2nds team came to our rescue; offering to let us use their kit after their match in St.A. Thank you so much!! We are forever grateful, especially because this match meant so much to us.
