Novos U15 girls' played their second game of the cup, hosting a strong Morpeth side.

It was with a great deal of relief and pleasure that the Novos Girls finally got a game! Due to the typical English weather the girls had barely trained in November and their last game was at the beginning of October.

Despite this, the girls were excited and nervous, knowing their opponents, Morpeth are a strong outfit. As is the nature of girls rugby, Morpeth kindly lent Novos some players as we still build our team numbers.

The game was well fought, and the girls worked hard all game. Abigail starting her first game of rugby showed no fear with some excellent tackles and forceful running with ball in hand. Paige Smith showed excellent line speed and a real hunger to get the ball. Zoe Lee continues to improve week by week game by game and had some storming runs withe the ball. Jess Clapperton, despite having had only 3 hours sleep after orienteering all night, pushed through and showed excellent commitment to play till the end. Alina Heindrich showed she is well up to the challenge of u15's having moved up from the u13's this year by stopping some very powerful runners breaking the gain line. And finally Alice Faulkner still relatively new to rugby showed her hunger for the ball, chasing any Morpeth player with fierce determination.

Well played to all girls, Morpeth and Novos, for a great game of rugby with plenty of talent on show from both sides!
