Match Report

Ampthill U18 Girls travelled to Norwich for the first round of the National Cup (Area 4, League 2). This is one of the furthest distances that most of the girls have had to travel but the Crusaders proved very welcoming hosts and the weather obliged as well.

Ampthill started the match playing uphill and into the sun. Both sides worked extremely hard and much of the action initially was between both sides 22 yard lines with Crusaders in a dominant position at the half time mark.

With the change of ends Ampthill finally seemed to find their niche and proceeded to use their strength and cover to their advantage. A multitude of tackles combined with excellent passing and phased play meant they were soon in control of the scoreboard as well as the match.

Match Report

Ampthill U18 Girls opened the season hosting Gosford at home in Dillingham Park. As the day had a very strong and low sun the officials decided to break the game into 4 quarters with ends switched at each quarter.

Ampthill had a large number of changes to the squad since last season with a number of the more experienced players now ageing out and an influx of younger players moving up from the U15 squad. Inevitably the lack of playing time together allowed cracks to appear in the play which Gosford punished each and every time. Despite a valiant effort by Ampthill, Gosford finished the game as the dominant side.
