West Norfolk Ladies maintain winning start

West Norfolk Ladies maintained their excellent start to the new season with a decisive 38-10 victory against an experienced Woodbridge side.

Woodbridge opened the scoring within the first five minutes of the game to put West on the back foot.

An immediate response from West Norfolk saw Zoe Sharp break through the Woodbridge rearguard to level the scores.

Constant forward pressure made it possible for forward of the match, Nerea Fernández Rodríguez, to put her name on the scoreboard.

Brilliant attacking play enabled Libby Lockwood to score under the posts, which was subsequently converted.

A slip in defence allowed Woodbridge to register the final points of the half.

Some explosive defensive and attacking play from West allowed Lockwood to open the scoring in a physical second half.

Although carrying an injury, Mary Hegarty, who was hungry to get on the pitch, made an immediate impact in the last quarter to score within minutes of being introduced.

Fine teamwork from a scrum resulted in the final try of the match by Tiff Turner. Tries were also converted by Sharp and Turner.

West Norfolk Ladies’ next match is on Sunday, October 7, at home against Lakenham Hewett with the girls playing a curtain-raiser beforehand.

Training takes place on Wednesday nights from 6pm for girls from Year 7 and from 7pm for ladies at Gatehouse Lane, in North Wootton.
