BRAMPTON WOMEN PUNISH PETERBOROUGH   2nd June 2008

 

It was another great day of Rugby at the Brampton Rugby Club on Saturday. The Brampton Women’s team did not disappoint the fans and started off the day's schedule with a 48 - 7 victory over Peterborough.

 

 

Some punishing tackles by Paige and some more great runs by Bru, set a tone for the afternoon that was embraced by the rest of the team. Once again, the Brampton women played what has now become their 15 as 1 style of Rugby. Although it is still early in the season, coach Kelly is very impressed by the athleticism, attitude and all around smart Rugby that the Brampton women are showing week in and week out.

 

However, it is a long season and we have another tough game this weekend versus Oshawa (the only other undefeated team in our league). This being said, anybody who would like to make the trip down the 401 to support the team, would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

I would also like to thank the Waterloo County Rugby Club for accepting our invitation and driving all the way here to play a second team game. For those who are not aware, we have run into a good problem this year. We have the numbers to support two full teams, but unfortunately we only have one team in the league. This problem will be solved next year, when we will have two teams participating in the league. Thank you to Joe, the Women’s Director, for organizing the game with Waterloo.

 

This was a great opportunity for Joe and Brian Kelly to get a good look at some of the Club's rising stars who are pushing for first team positions. I would like to thank Amanda Corsetti who was the captain of this team, and although she is humble about her abilities, she did a terrific job. Great play at scrumhalf from Tina, and forward play from both Kristina and Meaghan. In the backs, Stacey did a fantastic job at disrupting their plays. Thank you to all the first team players who played in this game as well as the first team game. A special thank you to Bru, who lasted 2 FULL games!!

 

Once again, I invite you and encourage you to get out here and support the Brampton Women. As you can see by our lopsided scores and the ability to field two teams, we are well on our way to bringing back past glory, as we step forward in to the new era at Brampton.
