Match against Worthing at Whitemans Green

A cold and frosty morning greeted Heath U13 girls but that did not deter this new and determined squad as they played their first ever league fixture at Whitemans Green against Worthing. Playing 10-a-side and giving everyone a game, Worthing girls showed their experience to win the match but Heath stayed in the game throughout and scored a well-worked try of their own during the 7-1 loss.

Strong running from Lilly Martin and Lilia Edwards throughout kept Worthing on their toes defensively and Isobelle Bacon showed some great tackle technique – putting recent training into practice on the pitch. Player of the match for Heath was Kitty Ganderes who put in a fantastic display of both her attack and defence skills.

Heath Girls coach Kevin McDonald said: “I am really proud of all the girls – they just kept going despite the obvious strength and experience of our opponents and really enjoyed this first match after just a few months of training. We are excited for the season ahead and hope with other competitive fixtures planned, more and more girls in the local area will come and join our friendly squad.”
