Rugby Town U14 travelled to Burbage fortheir first game of the season. Having been promoted back to the Green Division,many of the girls having played in this division the season before lastunderstand the increase in the quality of football.
With a few girls missing, Rugbytravelled with a squad of 12. The game got off to a competitive start with bothteams working hard.
However it was Burbage who took the lead,and would go on to dominate the game towards the second half of the firstperiod.
At half-time the girls were determinedto get back out and again in the early part of the first half were giving agood account of themselves. However as the second half progressed, tired legsbegan to show, and Burbage were able to extend their lead.
Rugby gave their all, but due toinjuries and also illness, eventually they were reduced in spells to just 10players.
There were some great individual performances, and girls playing out of positions, especially in attack.
Despite the result, Rugby fought right to the final whistle and had some opportunities which they were unlucky not to capitalise on.
Proud of their efforts today, in what will be a very strong U14 division this season.
Final score Burbage 9 Rugby 0
