This determined clear-out from one of our U13 Girls well summarises the achievements of our burgeoning Junior Girls Section last Sunday.

At Farnham's first attacking opportunity they moved the ball through the hands and out of the tackle to create a mismatch which saw Hattie run direct, break the line and in for the first score.
The match continued with Farnham pressurising the Dorking attacks, tackle after tackle from the midfield and some dominant breakdown work prevented Dorking from getting any field position. In attack Farnham were relentless, running direct lines, committing defenders and offloading in tackles lead to tries from Zara, Ettie, Eva and Scarlett before a Dorking line break and with great support scored their first try of the day.
Further scores from Phoebe, Grace P, Grace C, Emma and Amelie saw Farnham run out winners in their first match of the year. Dorking awarded Zara Harris POM and Coach Jo rewarded Emma P for her efforts.
"It was brilliant to have Magnus reffing, both Dorking and Farnham coaches and parents commented on how good he was. Thank you so much it really helps the girls improve when they get good consistent reffing," commented coach Tracy Parry.
In a season of firsts, the U15 girls travelled to Reigatians for their first ever U15 Girls Waterfall Cup game. Once the mist cleared, Reigatians were quickly into their stride, dominating first half possession and were 10-0 up at the break. As the bigger Reigatians pack tired, Farnham’s all-court game had the better of the second half scoring 2 tries from Mimi, both converted by Phoebe, but the hosts hung on for a narrow win 20-14 win.
