Tewkesbury v Bromsgrove
It was a dry Sunday afternoon when Tewkesbury hosted our second home game against Bromsgrove.
Both teams are newly formed this season but this was Bromsgrove’s 1st game.
They were short of numbers so we lent them 3 of our players including a very experienced Ellen(Alan) Wells.
The game kicked off and instantly number 8, Rebecca Woodward ran through from outside the 22 for our 1st try.
The girls then put over a succession of tries with Olivia Rendell getting her first ever try.
The tries were aplenty with Rats and Jess also getting their fist tries.
Scrum half Gemma Green found her previous form and scored twice, Rachael Green and Shannon also scored.
Therza Peters got our third hat trick of the season.
Kayleigh Bartlett converted 4.
Final score 63-0
Although the score looks one sided, I assure you that the Bromsgrove girls did not take things lightly.
After a reshuffle in their pack they started pushing us and contesting well.
They were very close to scoring several times but only held at bay due to a very tight Tewkesbury defence.
The girls should feel very proud of their performance and I am sure they will continue to improve.
We look forward to visiting them in march for our return fixture.
All in all a great display of rugby by all.

St Mary’s v Tewkesbury
The girls had a good game today against St Mary,s at their home ground.
Tewkesbury were quick out of the block and scored 2 quick tries.
Tackles were much improved from st Mary’s , but tewkesbury supported quickly at the breakdown resulting in possession. We ran in a total of 6 tries in the first half.
St Mary’s made a great break from their 22 and sprinted at an amazing pace leaving all but Chloe Seers standing. Chloe made a great tackle just before our try line but great supporting run and a calm offload resulted in st Mary’s first try.
Half time score was 5 – 34 to Tewkesbury.
The second half was a much improved Mary’s side But Tewkesbury ran in another 3 tries.
Chloe Seers scored a hat trick of tries ( tewkesburys second of the season, Rebecca Woodward being first to achieve this on our home fixture against st Mary’s)
Second Half score was 5 – 15 to Tewkesbury.
Well done to all girls today you all showed courage and determination and team spirit.
Final score 10 – 49 to Tewkesbury
