Newton Abbot Ladies 0
Tavistock Ladies 53
TAVISTOCK Ladies rugby team played their first away fixture of the season and while the final score was flattering a lot more hard work will be needed when facing stronger opposition.
Clare White had a fantastic game, scoring four of the nine tries — when she had the ball in hand near the tryline it was almost impossible to stop her.
Four new players made their debut for Tavistock on Sunday, all making a great impact on the game. Becky Utton managed to power her way over and score in her first match. Helen King also scored a try, having played a stunning game in the centre. She is clearly going to be a great asset.
Other newcomers include Rachel Briggs who made some great runs with the ball and some phenomenal tackles, and Bo Coulton, following in her sister's footsteps, managed to make some great catches from high ball.
Other try-scorers were Kate Blake, Wiz Frances and Mandy Blackmore. Two conversions were made by both Kate Blake and Teri Cole.
If any women or girls would like to 'have a go' the club will be at Tavistock College this Saturday at 10am. Other sports will also be represented.
l TAVISTOCK Ladies rugby team have been training for six weeks in preparation for the season.
The first league match will be on October 1, with friendlies being played through September.
Training will continue (in all weathers) on Wednesday at 7pm until the end of the season, all newcomers will be most welcome.
The girls expressed thanks to the club for moral and financial support, together with special thanks to the Ordulph and Chichester Arms for support and sponsorship.
The team are also looking for new sponsors for the current year, whether it is a match ball or a set of shirts, the girls would love to hear from you.
