Yeomen 2007 Season Ends
After two tough games the Yeomen 2007 season comes to a close.
Senior Game Recap:
Bright and early Sunday morning the Yeomen Senior team walked on the field to play the first placed Scottish. The game started off at a very fast pace with both teams eager to score. Scottish quickly succeeded but the Yeomen remained right with them. Soon after Brooke was able to crack the Scottish defence and scored the first Yeoman try of the game.
From that moment on the Yeomen were aggressive and hungry for the ball. The next try came with Kate Ballweg's untouched 20 meter run down the sideline to score right between the posts. Unfortunately the Yeomen did not come out with the win, however everyone played amazing and it was an amazing game to play in. The game was played with passion and pride and very exciting to be a part of it.
Development game vs Barbs, Sunday August 12th write-up: Jacquie Ott Spirits were high with the development team as we stepped onto the pitch after having watched the seniors play an excellent game of rugby vs the Scottish earlier in the day. Although we were short players, so were the Barbs and so it was decided to play a game of 10's. Knowing that their were more gaps on the Field, all the yeoman knew their jobs and were ready to give the Barbs all we got. We were able to hold the Barbs off for most of the first half with excellent defence and even getting the ball which gave us the ability to show off our offensive skills in the backs. Every single forward did an excellent job on the Field in the scrums, rucks and mauls and the backs did a fantastic job communicating and distributing the ball. Although the Barbs pack was bigger then us, we were able to steal a few of their scrums, and the line outs were fantastic on both offense and defense with everyone stepping it up. Unfortunately, Chloe, our scrum half was injured and had to get off the field, but after Sarah Berry momentarily playing scrumhalf, Nina came out to help her fellow team mates and even scored a try for the yeoman, even if it was the only one. Minnie also had to take to the sidelines after an injury where Alisha took the field and did what she does best, scare the other team running at them. Thank you to everyone who came out and who stayed to watch the game. Although we did not win, it was a great way to end our rough season. Everyone on the field remained calm, even when the Barbs were taking cheap shots and getting dirty (although it was very very very hard).
